6 NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions
After striking a foreign object, or if the mower vibrates abnormally, stop the motor and remove
the safety key. Inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the lawn mower. Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
Do not operate the lawn mower when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Remove the safety key when the mower is not in use.
Allow the motor to cool for at least 5 minutes before storing the mower in any type of tight
space or enclosure.
Do not modify your mower or over-speed the motor.
Do not use your NEUTON Mower for any job other than those for which it is intended.
Mowing on Slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury.
All slopes require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Do:
Mow across slopes, never up and down. Exercise caution when changing directions on slopes.
Remove objects such as rocks and tree limbs, or any other potential object that could be thrown
by the mower blade. Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do Not:
Do not mow steep slopes or other areas where stability or traction is in doubt.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause you to slip.
Servicing Your Mower
Never make adjustments or repairs with the motor running. Remove the safety key to prevent
accidental starting.
Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep the equipment in good
condition.
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
Keep mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
Allow mower to cool before storing.
Never attempt to make wheel-height adjustments while the motor is running.
Grass-catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Check components frequently, and replace them
with the manufacturer’s recommended parts when necessary.
Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra caution when
working with them.
