IMPORTANT:
: Your mower is equipped with a
circuit breaker, located under the blade control
assembly. See Figure 7. If the circuit breaker trips,
reset as instructed in the Maintenance section.
TO STOP MOTOR AND BLADE
1. Release the starter control lever to stop the
motor and blade. A high pitched noise will
result, due to deceleration of the electric motor.
Sparking at the top of motor is also normal
during deceleration.
WARNING:
rotate for a few seconds after
motor is shut off. If motor does not
come to an immediate stop when the
motor/blade control handle is released,
contact an authorized service dealer.

1. Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks,
wires, or other objects which could damage
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.
2. To prevent electric shock, do not operate the
mower in damp or wet locations.
Mowing Pattern:
1. Always start from the point closest to the
power source where the cord is connected.
Never mow around the lawn in circles; 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 in the cut portion
of the lawn, out of the way. See Figure 9.
T = Obstacles
2. Do not allow 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 on each side of your hand to
prevent snarling.
3. When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking
speed to allow more effective cut and proper
discharge of the clippings. For a healthy lawn,
the
always cut off one-third or less of the total
length of the grass. The average lawn should be
approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches during the cool
season, and over 2 inches during hot months.
For a healthier and better looking lawn, cut
more often and after moderate growth. The
lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is
growth.
