preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
ŶStore idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
ŶMaintain power tools and accessories.
Check for misalignment or binding of

maintained power tools.
ŶKeep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
ŶUse the power tool, accessories and
tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
ŶKeep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
ŶRecharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
ŶUse power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of

OPERATION
ŶThe product must be started with the user
properly seated and behind the steering
wheel. Never start the product if:
Ɣnot all four wheels are on the ground
Ɣthe side discharge chute is exposed and
is not protected by the mulch cover
Ɣhands and feet of all persons are not
clear of the cutting enclosure
ŶDisengage the blades when the product is
not in use.
ŶNever use the product in a closed area.
ŶStop the blade when crossing gravelly
surfaces to avoid discharging gravel
and rocks. Drive the product slowly and
carefully to avoid loss of control.
ŶTurn on the motor carefully according to

product on steep slopes greater than 15°.
Make a copy or cut out the "Slope Guide"
at the back of this manual, and use it to
determine if your slope is too steep for safe
operation.

ƔUse a slow speed so you will not have to
stop suddenly or accidentally accelerate
while on a slope.
ƔDo not mow on wet grass when on a
slope. Tyres may lose traction and you
may lose control.
ƔPress the low speed drive button to limit
the speed of the mower when operating
in tight spaces or on slopes. Do not shift

ŶUse extra care when loading or unloading
the product onto a trailer or truck. Step
on the brake pedal as needed to control
the speed. The product will freely roll if it
is moved on an inclined surface without
stepping on the brake pedal or engaging the
parking brake. When loading or unloading
the product, do not exceed the maximum
recommended operation angle of 15°.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting
the product for maintenance, cleaning,
storage, or transportation. The blade is
sharp. Keep all body parts away from the
blade while it is exposed.
TRANSPORTING LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local
and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging
and labelling when transporting batteries by a
third party. Ensure that no batteries can come
in contact with other batteries or conductive
materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-
conductive caps or tape. Do not transport
batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check
with the forwarding company for further
advice.
TOWING SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Use extreme caution when towing the
product. The blade is sharp. Keep all
body parts away from the blade while it is

slowly, and allow extra time and distance
to stop.
ŶDo not turn sharply when towing. Use
additional caution when turning or operating
under adverse surface conditions. Use
care when reversing.

and dampness, diet, smoking and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
ŶKeep your body warm in cold weather.
