SAFE OPERATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING: This symbol points out important safety instructions, which if not
followed, could endanger the personal safety and/or property of yourself and others.
Read and follow all instructions in this manual before attempting to operate this
machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury.
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe
operation in this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error
on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This machine is capable of
amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe the following
safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
When using electric lawn mowers, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
GENERAL OPERATION
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual before
attempting to assemble and operate. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference.
2. Be familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the machine and
2

disengage them quickly.
3. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate this machine. Children 14 years old and over
should read and understand the operation instructions and safety rules in this manual and
should be trained and supervised by a parent.
4. Never allow adults to operate this machine without proper instruction.
5. To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, stay in the operator zone behind the
handles and keep children and bystanders at least 20 M (75’) from the machine while it is in
operation. Stop the motor if anyone enters the area.
6. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire,
bones, toys and other foreign objects, which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade.
Thrown objects can cause serious personal injury.
7. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders
and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction, which may cause the
material to ricochet back toward the operator.
8. To protect your eyes always wear proper eye protection while operating or performing
adjustments or repairs. Thrown objects which ricochet can cause serious eye injuries.
9. Always use a face or dust mask when operating in a dusty environment.
10. Dress Properly – Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can get caught in moving parts.
Use of rubber gloves and footwear is recommended when working outdoors.
11. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s)
to be used for the lawn mower. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protection and
may be used as an added measure of safety.
12. To prevent electric shock use only with a CSA/CUL listed extension cord set suitable for outdoor
use, such as Type SW–A, SOW–Α,STW–Α,STOW–Α,SJW–Α,SJOW–Α,SJTW–A, or
SJTOW–A.
13. Extension Cord–Make sure your extension cord set is in good condition, is heavy enough to carry
the current your mower will draw, and is polarized (one blade of plug is wider than the other). A
100' length of 14 AWG should be used. A 50' length of 16 AWG or a 150' length of 12 AWG cord
is an acceptable alternative. A longer length or undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in a loss of power and overheating.
14. To reduce the likelihood of disconnecting the lawn mower from the extension cord set, be sure to
use the cord restraint provided as shown in the illustration below:
15. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this lawn mower has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The mower plug will only fit
into the polarized extension cord one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
16. Home circuit–This mower should be operated on a 15 A circuit. If you experience difficulty in
starting with a standard 15 A fuse or circuit breaker, contact your nearest authorized service
3

facility. Do not use a higher rated fuse or breaker without consulting your power company.
17. Do not abuse the cord by pulling the mower by the cord or yanking it to disconnect it from the
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
18. Many injuries occur as a result of the mower being pulled over the foot during a fall caused by
slipping or tripping. Never operate this machine in bare feet, sandals or lightweight (e.g. canvas)
shoes. Don’t hold on to the mower if you are falling; release the handle immediately.
19. Never pull the mower back toward you while you are walking. If you must back the mower away
from a wall or obstruction first look down and behind to avoid tripping and then follow these
steps:
•Step back from the mower to fully extend your arms.
•Be sure you are well balanced.
•Pull the mower back slowly.
•Repeat these steps as needed.
20. Do not use lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the lawn
mower.
21. Do not operate the mower while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
22. Stay Alert: Do not operate the mower when you are tired. Watch what you are doing. Use
common sense.
23. Do not put hands or feet near rotating parts or under the cutting deck. Contact with the blade can
amputate hands and feet.
24. Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height adjustment while the motor is running.
25. Avoid dangerous environments.Never operate the mower in the rain or in wet or damp grass.
26. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. Walk, never run.
27. Stop the blade when crossing gravel driveways, walkways or roads.
28. If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the
cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
29. Stop the motor and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass
catcher or unclogging the chute. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after
the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the
blade has stopped rotating.
30. Never operate mower without proper trail shield, discharge cover, grass catcher, blade/motor
control or other safety protective devices in place and working. Never operate mower with
damaged safety devices. Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
Slope Operation
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, use
the slope gauge included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a
sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 150, do not mow it.
4

1. Mow across the face of slopes; never up and down Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction on slopes.
2. 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.
3. 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 blade/motor control handle immediately, and the blade will
stop rotating within 3 seconds.
Do Not:
1. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
2. Do not mow slopes greater than 150, as shown on the slope gauge.
3. Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
Children
1. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
yKeep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult.
•Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area.
•Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down for small children.
•Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, doorways, shrubs, trees, or other objects
that may obscure your vision of a child who may run into the mower.
2. Never allow children under 14 years old to operate a power mower. Children 14 years old and
over should read and understand the operating instructions and safety rules in this manual
and should be trained and supervised by a parent.

NOTE: A high-pitched noise and sparking may occur as the electric motor decelerates. This is
normal.
Mowing Your Lawn
NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly increase the performance of your mower, especially in
high grass conditions. Be sure to check the blade and sharpen it at least once a year as outlined
in the Maintenance section.
•Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires and other objects that could damage the
blades lawn mower or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any
direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
•To prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or wet conditions.
•Always start from the point closest to the power source where the cord is connected. Never
mow in circles; always travel back and forth across the lawn, starting from the point closest to
the outlet and then moving away from the outlet so the cord lies behind the mower, in the cut
portion of the lawn, out of the way (see Fig. 6).
•Do not allow the extension cord to wrap around trees, shrubs or other obstacles. When picking
up the extension cord, wind the cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it from tangling.
•When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting 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 1/2—2”during cool months and over
2”during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.
Mulching Tips
•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 in excess of 4", mow twice to reduce the grass height to 3 1/4"
maximum.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor,and unplug from the power
supply circuit. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage
before restarting and operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower
during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and
repaired.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Cutting Height Adjustment\
A height adjustment lever provides cutting height adjustment. The adjuster has six (6) height
positions. Height of cut will be changed when the lever is moved from one position to another.
WARNING: Before adjusting height, ensure that you UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
•To raise the height, pull the height adjustment lever from the current stop position and pull it
12

towards the back of the mower.
•To lower the height, pull the height adjustment lever from the current stop position and push it

is also an insulated safety device and should never be altered in any way. If
replacement is necessary, use original equipment parts as shown in the parts list on
pages 18/19.
•Make certain the blade hub assembly has bottomed out against the motor shaft.
•Place the cutting blade, locking plate, and blade nut against the blade hub assembly and thread
the blade bolt on finger-tight (see Fig. 8).
•NOTE: Make certain to replace the parts in the exact order in which they were removed.
When installing the cutting blade, make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing
towards the mower deck and not towards the ground.
•Torque the blade nut down using a torque wrench to ensure that the bolt is tightened properly. The
recommended torque for the blade bolt is 450 - 600 in-lbs. To ensure safe operation of your unit,
all nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for proper tightness.
Sharpening the Blade
To sharpen the blade, first remove the blade as outlined in the previous section. DO NOT attempt to
sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower.
•The blade can be sharpened with a file or a grinding wheel.
•When sharpening the blade, follow the original grinding angle as a guide. It is extremely important
that each cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to prevent unbalancing the blade.
•Test the blade by balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver or a blade balancer.
•If the blade is not balanced, remove metal from the heavy side until it balances evenly.
WARNING: An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when rotating at
high speeds. It may also cause damage to the mower and could break, causing
personal injury.
•Reinstall the blade as described earlier in this section making certain to torque the cutting blade
nut to specifications.
Mower Deck
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to
water.
The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
other debris will accumulate causing rust and corrosion.
•Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Wipe
the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally.
•If debris build up on the underside of the unit, while using, stop the motor and disconnect the
mower from the power supply. Tilt the mower forward, or on its side, and scrape it clean with an
appropriate tool.
Lubrication
At the beginning and end of each mowing season:
14

•Lubricate the springs on the rear discharge door with light oil.
•Lubricate the height adjustment levers and related hardware with light oil.
•Remove the wheels and lubricate the surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the wheel
with light oil.
•Remove the blade and blade hub assembly and lubricate the motor shaft with light oil or engine oil
(see Fig. 8).
STORAGE
The following steps should be taken to prepare the lawn mower for storage.
•Make certain the power supply is disconnected.
•Clean mower as instructed in previous section.
•Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required. Refer to the Maintenance section.
•Lubricate the mower. Refer to Maintenance section.
•Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and
rock salt.
•Wipe extension cord to remove any foreign substance such as oil or stains. Replace extension
cord if cut or damaged in any way.
•Wind cord in a series of equal loops to prevent it from tangling.
•Store mower indoors in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover lawn mower
with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic covering trap moisture around the mower causing rust and
corrosion.
The handle may be folded away completely for storage.
•Loosen the hand knobs on the sides of the handle, and fold the upper handle down.
•Remove the hairpin clips, pull outward on each side of the lower handle, and lift the sides of the
