SOFT-START
This LI-ION mower is equipped with a “soft- start” feature. When initially starting up, the mower
will take approx. 3 seconds to get up to full speed. If the mower does not initially start: Remove
the battery and check under the mower deck to ensure there is nothing obstructing the blade and
that the blade can spin freely by hand. Even a small amount of grass on start up will prevent the
“softstart” from turning the mower on.
WARNING
Do not attempt to override the operation of the safety lock-out button or bail lever.
WARNING
The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the
eyes, which can cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while
operating the mower and while performing any adjustments or repairs.
WARNING
Ensure that other people and pets remain at least 100 feet (30 m) away when the
mower is in use.
INSPECT THE CUTTING AREA
Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris that might be thrown by the rotating blades.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-cutting position. Before using the mower
for the first time, raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. The average lawn
should be between 1” to 2” (2.5 to 5 cm) during cool months and between 2” and 3 1/2” (5 cm to
8.3 cm) during hot months.

19
EN
TO ADJUST THE BLADE HEIGHT:
• To raise the blade height, grasp the
height adjustment lever (1) and move it
toward the back of the mower.
• To lower the blade height, grasp the
height adjustment lever (1) and move it
toward the front of the mower.
SLOPE GAUGE
WARNING
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can
result in severe injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, use the slope gauge that is
included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a
sloped or hilly area.
• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when
changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/
motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or
balance.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.
(See the last page for the full sized slope gauge)
WARNING
Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of
approximately 2 1/2 feet [.75 m] every 10 feet [3 m]). Mow across the face of a
slope, and never up and down.

20
MOWING TIPS
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting
high grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per year, as described in the
Maintenance section.
• Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the
blades or the motor. These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction,
and could cause serious personal injury to the operator and to others. In order to prevent electric
shock, do not operate the mower in damp or wet conditions.
• Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a
proper discharge of the clippings.
• For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average
lawn should be approximately 1” to 2” (2.5 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2”
to 3 1/4” (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in
the fall.
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” (10 cm), mow the lawn twice in
order to reduce the grass height to a maximum of 3 1/4” (8.3 cm).
• 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.
