3. This mower should be grounded while
in use to reduce the risk of injury to the
operator from electric shock. The mower is
equipped with an approved three-conduc-
tor cord and three-prong grounding-type
plug to fi t the proper grounding-type re-
ceptacle. The green or green and yellow
conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. Never connect the green or green and
yellow wire to a live terminal. See Figure
14 for plug confi guration.
An adapter is available for connecting
plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green-
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, must be
connected to a permanent ground, such as
a properly grounded outlet box.
4.
Provide Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protection on the circuit or outlet
to be used for the mower. You may use
receptacles with built-in GFCI protection
for this safety measure.

Connecting Extension Cord
The mower has a built-in extension cord retainer.
This cord hitch prevents accidental disconnec-
tion of the power cord during use. The cord
hitch is mounted onto the handle below the
control panel.

Extension Cord Management
When mowing with an extension cord attached to
mower, start the fi rst row closest to the electrical
outlet being used and mow away from outlet.
1. Place most of the extension cord close to
the electrical outlet, out of the path of the
mower.
2. Start in direction where extension cord side
of mower is closest to the outlet. Begin
mowing in the area closest to the outlet
and mow in a back and forth manner.
Note: Keep the cord on cut portion of lawn
and out of the path of the mower.
3. Avoid mowing in circles as cord will be
harder to manage.
Circuit Breaker Protection
This mower is equipped with a circuit breaker
located on the top of mower control panel (see
Figure 19). The circuit breaker provides over-
current protection to the mower motor should
the blade become jammed by grass clogged in
the output chute or other obstruction.
If the circuit breaker should trip during use, the
white circuit breaker button will pop up out of
the control panel and the electric motor and the
blade will stop rotating.

Circuit
Breaker
Note: When mowing in the corded mode if
the mower stops but the white circuit breaker
button has not popped up, release the bail and
re-start the mower.
Fully seat the extension cord on
the mower connector. Failure to
do so could lead to overheating
of mower. This could cause a fi re
that results in personal injury to
you or others.
WARNING
The table below shows the correct size
extension cord to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnec-
tion of mower from the extension cord dur-
ing operation, use the cord hitch described
in this manual.
Be aware of extension cord while
operating mower. Be careful not
to trip over cord. Keep cord away
from mower blade at all times.
WARNING
1. Plug the extension cord into the mower
connector (see Figure 15).
2. Create a loop in the extension cord and
insert the loop through the bottom of the
cord retainer (see Figure 16).
3. Pull the loop tight around the molded cord
hitch (see Figure 17).
Note: An optional method of retaining the
extension cord is shown in Figure 18. Use this
method with larger-gauge cords that may not
fi t into the extension cord retainer.
Resetting the Breaker
1. Fully release the bail handle.
2. Remove the key.
3. Unplug the mower power cord from exten-
sion cord.
4. Press the white circuit breaker button back
into the housing to reset (see Figure 20).
The button should stay depressed when
released. Plug the mower power cord back
into the extension cord, if you are using
110V power.
5. Restart mower (see Starting Mower for
instructions).
