MOWING TIPS
Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires
and other objects that could damage the lawn mower
blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally
thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less
of the total length of the grass
When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed
to allow for more effective cutting and a proper
discharge of the clippings.
Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside
of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass
clippings.
New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each
use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt and any
other accumulated debris.
SLOPE OPERATION
See figure 9
WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation
on slopes requires 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.
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.
Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can
cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are
losing your balance, release the switch control bail
wire immediately.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or
embankments; you could lose your footing or
balance.

OPERATION
MULCHING TIPS
NOTE: Inspect the area where the mower is to be
used, and remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and
other debris that might be thrown by the rotating
blade.
Release the bail lever to turn the mower OFF
when crossing any graveled area (stones can be
thrown by the blade).
Set mower to the highest cutting height when
mowing on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass,
because it tends to stick to the underside of the
deck, preventing proper mulching of grass
clippings. New or thick grass may require a
narrower cut. The ground speed should be
adjusted to the condition of the lawn. If mowing
has been delayed and the grass has been
allowed to grow longer than 4" (10cm), mow the
lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to a
maximum of 3 1/4" (8.3cm).
Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows.
Do not let the grass get too tall. If the grass gets
too long, start at the highest cutting position and
work down to the desired cutting height.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the
motor and remove the battery. Thoroughly inspect the
mower for any damage. Repair any damage before
operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the
mower during operation is an indication of damage.
Thoroughly inspect the mower and repair any damage
before operating the mower.
EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER
See figure 10
Stop mower and allow blades to completely stop.
Open battery cover.
Remove switch key and battery pack.
Lift the rear discharge door.
Lift the grass catcher by its handle to remove from
mower.
Empty grass clippings.
Lift the rear discharge door and reinstall the grass
catcher as described earlier in this manual.
Reinstall switch key and battery pack when you
are ready to mow.
