NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 5
■ Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used, and remove all stones, sticks, wire,
pet supplies or lawn toys, and any other foreign objects that could be thrown by the mower
blade. Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries. Also note the location
of holes, ruts, bumps, stumps, and other possible hazards.
■ Mow only in daylight or in an area well-lit by artificial light.
Operating Your Mower
■ The length of time that the mower’s battery can hold its charge while mowing a lawn depends
upon lawn conditions; tall, thick, or wet grass make the mower work harder, causing the battery
to discharge faster.
■ Before starting the mower, adjust the cutting height to cut 1 to 2 inches of grass at a time. Cut
thicker grass at a greater cutting height, or cut a narrower swath. Do not force the lawn mower
forward in thick grass. Your NEUTON Mower will do a better and safer job when cutting at a
steady rate.
■ Your mower can operate either as a discharging, mulching, or bagging mower. Learn how to use
the proper cutting blade for the type of mowing you want to perform, and know how to use
the rear discharge plate, rear bagger, and mulching plug as appropriate.
■ Shut the motor off and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the rear
bagger or other attachments.
■ Do not insert the safety key into the mower until you are ready to operate the mower. Store the
safety key away from children and people not authorized to use the mower.
■ The cutting blade turns when the motor is running. (There is no clutch to allow the blade to
stop while the motor is running.) Learn how to quickly stop the mower’s motor. Remember that
the blade will continue to rotate for up to three seconds after the motor has stopped.
■ Stop the motor, wait for the blade to stop moving, and remove the safety key whenever you
leave the operating position (behind the handlebar) for any reason, including clearing grass and
making any inspections, adjustments, or repairs to the mower.
■ Do not put your hands and feet near or under rotating parts. Be especially careful when the
safety key is still inserted. Keep clear of the discharge area at all times.
■ Before cleaning, repairing, inspecting, adjusting the height of the cut, or exchanging the
mulching plug and rear bagger, shut off the motor, make certain the blade has stopped rotating,
and remove the safety key.
■ Never operate the mower in the rain or when the grass is wet. Always be sure of your footing.
■ Keep a firm hold on the handle, and walk — never run.
■ Never cut grass by pulling the mower towards you. It is designed to only be pushed forward
while cutting.
■ Use extreme caution when maneuvering backwards. Always look first to check your footing,
look down and behind you, and release the control levers to shut the motor off before moving
backwards.
■ Stop the motor when crossing over loose materials such as gravel drives, walks, or roads, as
objects discharged by the mower can be hazardous.
