 Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use
to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other
accumulated debris.
NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blades to completely
stop, remove the start key and remove the battery pack
from the battery port before cleaning underneath the
mower.
SLOPE OPERATION
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents
that can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes re-
quires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not
mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to mow slopes
greater than 15 degrees and mow across the face of
slopes, not up and down.
 Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
 Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps
which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide
obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs,
etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
OPERATION
 Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause
serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your bal-
ance, release the upper blade control lever immediately.
 Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments;
you could lose your footing or balance.
EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER

 Stop the mower and allow the blades to completely stop.
 Open the battery cover.
 Remove the start key and battery pack from the battery
port.
 Lift the grass catcher by its handle to remove from mower.
 Empty grass clippings.
 Reinstall the grass catcher as described earlier in this
manual.
 Reinstall the start key and battery pack when you are
ready to mow.
