CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
Check the air pressure in all tires before use. Improper air
pressure will affect handling, steering response, traction,
tire life, level cutting, and operator comfort. Be sure tires
are inflated to the pressure shown below.
NOTE: Tire pressure should only be measured or
adjusted when tires are cold.
Recommended Pressure
WARNING:
Check the tire pressure carefully while inflating. Too much
air in the tire could cause the tire to burst, causing seri-
ous personal injury.
CHARGE THE MOWER
See Figure 5.
Mower batteries must be charged overnight before first
use. To verify mower batteries are fully charged, check the
battery level indicator.
To charge:
 Insert charger plug into charging port on mower, making
sure it is properly connected.
 Connect charger to power supply using normal household
current of 120 V, AC only, 60 Hz.
 Do not charge in an area of extreme heat or cold.
 Remove the charger from the mower once it is fully charged
and ready for use.
WARNING:
To avoid accidental starting or movement of the mower
that could result in serious personal injury, always remove
the start key and set the parking brake when leaving the
mower unattended.
NOTICE:
Always connect the mower to the charger when the unit
is not in use. If it is not possible to leave the mower char-
ger connected, make sure to charge the batteries fully at
least once a month.
TEST THE SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
See Figure 6.
This mower features a Safety Interlock System to protect
the operator by shutting off the blades if the operator leaves
the seat with the blades running. Test the system to be sure
it is working correctly.
To test:
 Make sure direction control switch is in neutral (N) position
and blade engage knob is down.

The blades should shut off within 5 seconds. If they don't,
verify you connected the safety interlock cable as described
on page 6. If the cable is connected but the system still
doesn't function, contact customer service. Do not oper-

repaired.
