Mowing tips
Warning! Always inspect area where mower is to be used
and remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris
which might be thrown by the rotating blade.
Warning! Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always maintain good
footing.
Release bail handle to turn mower "Off" when crossing
u
any gravel area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough
u
ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one
time can cause the motor to be overloaded and to stop.
Refer to troubleshooting guide.

u
season, the grass may tend to clog up at the discharge
opening. Release bail handle to turn mower off and
remove the safety key. Remove the catcher and shake
the grass down to the back end of the bag. Also clean
out any grass or debris which may be packed around the
discharge opening. Replace the grass catcher.

u
handle to turn mower off and remove safety key. Check
immediately for cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble.

that the battery is fully charged and ready for its next use.
Storing battery not fully charged will shorten battery life.
