NOTE:
Trying to mow much grass at a time may not allow
•
the motor to start due to the overload. At this time,
change the mowing height to higher level to restart.
The mower does not start without pressing the
•
switch button even if the switch lever is squeezed.
This mower is equipped with the interlock switch and
handle switch. If you notice anything unusual with either
of these switches, stop operation immediately and have
