Removing the Battery Pack

1. Lift up the battery compartment lid.
2. Press the battery-pack latch to release the
battery pack and remove the battery pack.
3. Close the battery compartment lid.
Power-Boost / Boost-Max Modes
Note: This machine has 2 speed settings, 'AUTO'
and 'Max'.
The Power-Boost / Boost Max feature automatically
adjusts power to suit mowing conditions, increasing
and decreasing blade speed when necessary.
Set the control switch to the 'AUTO' position to
benefi t from the most effi cient use of battery power.
Refer to Figure 17.
Switch to 'Max' mode to engage Boost-Max. This
mode sets the blade to a constant maximum
speed, ideal for tougher conditions but reduces the
expected battery power. Figure 18.

2.
The 'AUTO' mode automatically adjusts forward
speeds 1.9 - 2.2 mph ( 3.05 - 3.54 kph ).
The 'Max' mode forward speed is fi xed to the
maximum setting of 2.2 mph ( 3.54 kph ).
Note: Running the machine permanently in 'Max'
mode will reduce the expected battery run time.

• For best performance, install a new blade before
the cutting season begins.
• Replace the blade when necessary with a Hayter
replacement blade.

Cutting Grass

Cut only about a third of the grass blade at a time.
For improved runtime, cut grass at a higher height
of cut.
• Do not cut below 51 mm (2 inches) unless the
grass is sparse or it is late fall when grass growth
begins to slow down.
• When cutting grass over 15 cm (6 inches) tall,
mow at the highest cutting height setting and
walk slower; then mow again at a lower setting
for the best lawn appearance. If the grass is too
long, the machine may plug and cause the motor
to stall.
• Wet grass and leaves tend to clump on the yard
and can cause the machine to plug or the motor
to stall. Avoid mowing in wet conditions.
• Be aware of a potential fi re hazard in very dry
conditions, follow all local fi re warnings, and keep
the machine free of dry grass and leaf debris.
• Alternate the mowing direction. This helps
disperse the clippings over the lawn for even
fertilisation.
• If the fi nished lawn appearance is unsatisfactory,
try 1 or more of the following:
-
Replace the blade or have it sharpened.
-
Walk at a slower pace while mowing.
-
Raise the cutting height on your machine.
-
Cut the grass more frequently.
-
Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full
swath with each pass.

Cutting Leaves

• After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the
lawn shows through the cut leaf cover. You may
need to make more than a single pass over the
leaves.
• If there are more than 13 cm (5 inches) of leaves
on the lawn, mow at a higher cutting height and
then again at the desired cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the machine
does not cut the leaves fi nely enough.
