FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

■
Should the mower remain plugged into the charger when
not in use?
– Yes, continually charge the mower when not in use.
■
What can cause the blades to stop during use?
– Check the battery level indicator. The deck motor
turns off when the battery power gets low to allow you
enough time to drive back to the charging location.
Drive back and charge the battery immediately.
– If the battery level is not low, slow down or raise the
cutting deck to a higher level. High load applications
can also cause one or both deck motors to stop.
– Check that the side discharge chute is properly
closed. Push down the side discharge chute, and
make sure that it fully presses the side discharge
interlock switch.
■
When coasting downhill, why does the mower sometimes
accelerates and sometimes does not?
– For your safety and better performance, the mower
is designed to automatically limit its speed when
travelling on a slope, which may cause fluctuations
in speed.
■
When operating the mower, how do I bring the mower to
a complete stop?
– To stop the mower, step on the brake pedal in front of
the operator. This product is not a hydrostatic drive.
■
Why does the mower make a beeping sound when I
leave the seat?
– The parking brake has not been engaged or the start
key is still installed and in the ON position. Always
remove the key when the mower is not in use.
■
When should I use the parking brake?
– Always engage the parking brake before getting off
the mower.
■
Can I rinse off the mower deck with a garden hose?
– Do not clean the product with water. Use a blower or
air compressor to clean it.
