To stop the mower
(only for LM2130SP/ LM2130SP-FC/LM2150SP/LM2150SP-FC)
LM2130SP/LM2130SP-FC/LM2150SP/LM2150SP-FC mower is equipped with variable-speed, self-propel capability. To increase the speed, rotate the self-propel-speed-control knob forward. To decrease the speed, rotate the self-propel speed control knob backward.
NOTICE: When the self-propel speed control knob is rotated backward to the lowest position, the self-propel function does not function (Fig. 29).
This system is independent of the blade On-Off switch; it is not dependent on blade rotation. For example, when you have completed cutting your lawn, you can use the self-propel to propel the mower back to your storage location without blade rotation. Or you may choose to operate the mower as a non-selfpropelled mower to maximize battery running time.
To operate the self-propel system without blade rotation, press the self-propel trigger(s).There are two self-propel triggers. Press either trigger to start the self-propel function (Fig. 29).
To turn the self-propel off, release the self-propel trigger.
Using self-propel system with the blades rotating
NOTICE: When you turn off the self-propel, for example, at the end of a row, it may become temporarily locked if you pull backwards on the mower. Simply push ahead slightly and then move the mower as required.
NOTICE: It may, at times, be easier to mow around an object, with the self-propel turned off.
To reduce the risk of injury, never attempt to override the operation of the switch or self-propel system. Use the self-propel for its intended purpose only.
The LED headlights are located on the front of the battery compartment (Fig. 30).
To turn on the lights, press the switch button (Fig. 31). The headlights provide bright light in front of the mower.
To turn off the headlights, press the switch button again.
The mower is equipped with a mowerstatus indicator to indicate the charge level of the battery pack and the working status of the mower. The mower-status indicator will illuminate when the blade is rotating.
Mower-status indicator | Meaning | Action |
Solid green | Mower is working properly; battery has at least 15% of its charge. | None required. |
Flashing green | The side rails are not fully extended. | Stop the mower and make sure that the side rails are fully extended. |
The handle is not locked in an operating position. | Stop the mower and make sure that the handle is locked in an operating position. | |
Flashing red | Low battery. | Stop the mower and charge the battery pack. |
Solid orange | The mower stops due to overheat. | Remove the battery from the mower, move them to the shade and cool them at least 15 minutes. |
Flashing orange | The mower is overloaded. | First remove the battery pack, then check and clean if grass has collected beneath the deck. Slow down your pace when cutting. If this does not work, please contact EGO customer service center. |
Flashing red/green alternately | Error | Contact EGO customer service center. |
Dark & LED on battery flashing | Battery overheat. (See section "BATTERY HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION" in this manual) | Release the bail switch, wait until the battery pack cools down to approximately 152°F (67°C), then restart the mower. |
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to remove too much grass at one time. Slow down your cutting pace or raise the cut height.
Your mower has built-in overload circuit protection. When the mower is overloaded, the motor will stop and the power indicator on the mower will flash orange. Remove the battery pack from the mower. Check to see if grass has collected beneath the deck and clear it if necessary, then install the battery and restart the mower.
The battery pack will generate heat during operation. The heat dissipates more slowly in hot weather. If the battery temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C) during operation, the protection circuit will immediately turn off the mower to protect the battery pack from heat damage. The mower-status indicator on the mower will off, the LED on the battery(BA1400, BA1400-FC, BA2800, BA2800-FC, BA4200, BA4200-FC) will flash orange and the LED on the battery(BA1400T, BA1400T-FC, BA2800T, BA2800T-FC, BA4200T, BA4200T-FC, BA5600T, BA5600T-FC) will shine red.
Release the bail switch, wait until the battery pack cools down to approximately 152°F (67°C), then restart the mower.
NOTICE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting tall grass. Make sure to check the sharpness of the blade before mowing.
If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the battery. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2 1/2" (0.75 m) every 10" (3 m)). Mow across the face of a slope and never up and down.
Use Fig. 32 as a guide in order to identify slopes that cannot be mowed safety.
Inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wire and other debris that might be thrown by the rotating blade.
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack from the mower before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician.
Always remove the battery pack when servicing or transporting the mower.
The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use, as grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate. This accumulation is undesirable; it will promote rust and corrosion.
Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the drive shaft (only LM2130SP/ LM2130SP-FC/LM2150SP/LM2150SP-FC) and motor fan (do not use water). Wipe the mower clean with a damp cloth.
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves or wrapping the cutting edges with rags or other materials when performing any maintenance on the mower blade. Always remove the battery pack when servicing or transporting the mower.
Use proper eye protection while removing, sharpening, and installing the blade.
A worn, cracked, or damaged blade can break and pieces of the damaged blade can become dangerous projectiles. Thrown objects can cause serious injury. Inspect the blade regularly and do not operate the mower with a worn or damaged blade.
NOTICE: Keep the blade sharp for best mower performance. A dull blade does not cut grass cleanly or mulch properly.
To remove the blade(s) follow the chapter REMOVING THE BLADE in the ASSEMBLY section earlier in this manual.
A dull blade can be sharpened, but a blade that is excessively worn, bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged must be replaced. A worn or damaged blade can break, causing blade pieces to be thrown from the mower.
If the blades are found to be bent, take the lawn mower to an authorized EGO service center for inspection.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull quickly; if your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:
TO SHARPEN A BLADE IN A VISE:
An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when rotating at high speeds. It may cause damage to the mower and could break, causing personal injury.
Lubricate with light oil as directed below at least once each season.
