DEBRIS WHICH MIGHT BE THROWN
BY THE ROTATING BLADE.
1.
WARNING:
Mow across the face
of slopes, never up-and-down.
Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on slopes. Do not
mow excessively steep slopes. Always
maintain good footing.
2. Release bail handle to turn mower
“OFF” when crossing any gravel area
(stones can be thrown by the blade).
3. Set mower at highest cutting height
when mowing in rough ground or in
tall weeds. Removing too much grass
at one time can cause the motor to
be overloaded and to stop. Refer to
troubleshooting guide.
4. If a grass collection bag (8) is used
during the fast growing season, the
grass may tend to clog up at the
discharge opening. Release bail handle
to turn mower off and remove the safety
key. Remove the catcher and shake the
grass down to the back end of the bag.
Also clean out any grass or debris which
may be packed around the discharge
opening. Replace the grass catcher.
5. If mower should start to vibrate
abnormally, release bail handle to turn
mower off and remove safety key. Check
immediately for cause. Vibration is a
warning of trouble. Do not operate mower
until a service check has been made.
Refer to troubleshooting guide in manual.
6. ALWAYS RELEASE BAIL HANDLE
TO TURN MOWER OFF AND
REMOVE SAFETY KEY WHEN
LEAVING IT UNATTENDED EVEN
FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTIONS
WILL HELP YOU TO OBTAIN
OPTIMUM RUN TIME FROM YOUR
CORDLESS MOWER:
1. Slow down in areas where the grass is
especially long or thick.
2. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet
from rain or dew-soaked.
