To stop the motor:
■
Release the switch box handle.
The protector (it’s a device that is calibrated to open the
motor circuit upon reaching a certain temperature/current
but requires both cool down below the calibration point
and removal of power for resetting of the protector) in
the mower helps to stop the mower if blade is stuck or
overload occurs.
When the protection happens, the operator should release
the bail switch and pull the plug immediately, then restart
the mower after at least 1 minute. The operator will wait
for longer time and the mower can’t run if it is restarted
within 1 minute.
MOWING TIPS
■
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires,
and other objects that could damage the lawn mower
blade or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or
other metal posts. Such objects could be accidentally
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of
the total length of the grass.
■
Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of
the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of
grass clippings.
■
New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a
higher cutting height.
■
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
■
When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to
allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge
of the clippings.
NOTE:
Always stop mower, allow blade to completely
stop, and remove the isolator key before cleaning
underneath the mower.
USING THE CORD RETAINER
See figure 7.
This lawn mower is equipped with a cord retainer in order
to prevent the extension cord from disconnecting from the
power cord while the mower is in use. The cord retainer
hangs from the cord guide bar.
NOTE:
Do not plug the extension cord into the outlet until
it has been connected to the cord retainer and plugged
into the mower.
To use the cord retainer:
■
To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment
lever and move it toward the front of the mower.
