VARIABLE-SPEED SELF-PROPEL SYSTEM
The mower is equipped with variable-speed self-propel capability. 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-self-propelled mower to maximize battery run time.
To operate the self-propel system without blade rotation, pull the self-propel trigger to
the handle.
To turn the self propel off, release the
self-propel trigger (Fig. 17).
The system has variable speed. To
increase the speed, move the self-propel-
speed-control lever forwards. To decrease
the speed, move the self propel speed
control lever backwards.
To operate with the blade
rotating for cutting:
1. Depress the safety button.
2. With the safety button depressed, pull the bail switch upward to the handle and
release the safety button.
3. Hold the bail switch against the handle with your left hand. Pull the self-propel
trigger to the handle with your right hand.
4. With your right hand, hold both the bail switch and the self-propel trigger against
the handle and use your left hand to adjust the self-propel speed-control lever to
choose the desired speed.
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.
During cutting, at times it may be easier to mow around an object, with the self propel
turned off.
