Page 2 GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below and on the machine may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to observe all safety instructions could result in serious injury or death. Do not use the lawn mower in damp or wet conditions or operate in the rain. Keep the area clear of all bystanders, children, and pets while mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area. Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. • Keep children out of the mowing area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the operator. • Be alert and turn mower off if a child enters the area. • Never allow children to operate the machine. • Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view of a child. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Overreaching can result in loss of balance. Do not operate the equipment while barefoot or when wearing sandals or similar lightweight footwear. Wear protective footwear that will protect your feet and improve your footing on slippery surfaces. Do not leave the mower unattended while running. Keep hands and feet away from cutting area. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times. Operate the lawn mower only in daylight or good artificial light. Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury. Use face mask if operation is dusty. Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 standard when operating this product. Use the right appliance. Do not use the lawn mower for any job except that for which it is intended. Do not force the lawn mower. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the lawn mower. Do not operate the mower while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the lawn mower may result in serious personal injury. Keep machine in good working condition. Keep blades sharp and guards in place and in working order. Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Stop the motor and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before cleaning the lawn mower, removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the discharge guard. When not in use, mower should be stored indoors in a dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES Do not operate the mower without the entire grass catcher, discharge guard, rear guard, or other safety protective devices in place and working. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer. Clear the work area before each use. Remove all objects such as rocks, sticks, wire, bones, toys, or other objects which can be thrown by the blade.Stay behind the handle when the motor is running. Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of material toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction, which may Page 3 cause the material to ricochet back toward the operator. Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes. Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident. Walk, never run. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view. Do not pull the mower backward unless absolutely necessary. If you must back the mower away from a wall or obstruction, first look down and behind to avoid tripping. Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces. Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries to persons. The lawn should always be carefully examined and cleared of all objects prior to each mowing. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES If the lawn mower strikes a foreign object, follow these steps: • Stop the lawn mower and release the switch control lever. • Disconnect the power cord. • Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. • Repair any damage before restarting and continuing to operate the mower. Stop the motor, remove the switch key, and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before removing the grass catcher or unclogging the chute. The cutting blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off. Never place any part of the body in the blade area until you are sure the blade has stopped rotating. If the mower should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

You may use this product for the purpose listed below: Mowing your lawn Page 10 OPERATION BATTERY METER See Figure 7. Since the mower battery is shipped in a low charge condition, the battery must be charged before use. The battery has 5 LED lights to indicate battery capacity. These lights will only illuminate when the mower is running. If 3 GREEN lights illuminate, the battery is charged and ready for use. 2 green lights are equal to 50-80% charge, while 1 green light is equal to 30-50% charge. LIGHT METER If the AMBER light illuminates, the battery will soon require charging. It is recommended that the battery be charged at this point. The battery is at 5-30% charge when the yellow light illuminates If the RED light illuminates and/or flashes at any time, the battery must be charged IMMEDIATELY before use. There is less than 5% of battery charge when the red light comes on. NOTE: When the red light illuminates, you must stop the mower and charge the battery immediately, or it will reduce the life of the battery. BATTERY METER Fig. 7 CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK See Figures 7 - 8. The lawn mower comes with a maintenance free, sealed 24 volt storage battery. Remove the switch key. Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided. � Allow at least 17 hours of charge time before initial use of the mower. Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only. The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place. To improve battery life, store battery indoors in a controlled climate. Fully charge battery pack every 30 days. Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have to be fully discharged before recharging. 2 to 3 initial charging/discharging cycles may be required to achieve maximum run time/capacity. When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in temperatures down to -40°F for a period of up to two weeks, before requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack every 30 days. The battery charger should be operated in temperatures between 23°F and 104°F. The battery supplied is sealed, maintenance free and spill free. TO CHARGE See Figures 7 - 8. Remove the switch key and store in a secure location out of the reach of children. Plug the charger connector into the receptacle on the mower. Insert the 120 volt plug of the charger into the wall receptacle. CHARGER Fig. 8 Two red lights on the charger should come on, indicating you have power and the battery is being charged. The red light should extinguish and a green light will come on when charging is complete. It takes approximately 17 hours to charge a fully discharged mower. STARTING/STOPPING THE MOWER See Figure 9. Insert the switch key into the slot on the motor/blade control assembly. Rotate the lever release counterclockwise and hold to allow access to the switch control lever. � Pull the switch control lever toward the mower handle and let go of the lever release. Continue to hold the switch control lever against the mower handle as you mow. � To stop the mower, release the switch control lever.

Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others. For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. � When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings. Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper mulching of grass clippings. New or thick grass may require a narrower cut. Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris. KEY HOLE SWITCH KEY SWITCH KEY SWITCH CONTROL LEVER LEVER RELEASE SWITCH CONTROL LEVER Fig. 9 SLOPE OPERATION Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents that can result in severe injury. Operation on slopes requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. For your safety, do not attempt to mow slopes greater than 15 degrees. Mow across the face of slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps which can cause you to slip or trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Remove all objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc., which could be tripped over or thrown by the blade. Always be sure of your footing. A slip and fall can cause serious personal injury. If you feel you are losing your balance, release the switch control lever immediately. Fig. 10 Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance. EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER See Figure 11. Lift the grass catcher by its handle and lift to remove from mower. Empty grass clippings. Lift the rear discharge door and reinstall the grass catcher as described earlier in this manual. Fig. 11 Page 12 MAINTENANCE WARNING: WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness to ensure safe operation of the mower. Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover. Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally. Do not use water. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further bearing lubrication is required. Always protect hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges of the blade with rags and other material when performing blade maintenance. Failure to heed this warning so could result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, make sure the mower is unplugged from the power supply and the switch key is removed. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE See Figure 12 - 13. Since the mower is equipped with a sealed battery, the mower can be tipped for maintenance without the danger of acid spillage. NOTE: Only use identical replacement blades. Stop the motor and remove the switch key. Allow blade to come to a complete stop. Turn the mower on its side. � Wedge a block of wood between the blade and mower deck to prevent the blade from turning. Loosen the blade nut using a 15 mm wrench or socket (not provided). Remove the blade nut, spacer, blade insulator, and blade. � Make certain the fan assembly is pushed completely against the motor shaft. BLADE At the beginning and end of each mowing season: � Lubricate the springs on the rear discharge door with light oil. � Lubricate the height adjustment lever and related hardware with light oil. � Remove the wheels and lubricate the surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the wheel with light oil. � Remove the blade and blade hub assembly and lubricate the motor shaft with light oil or engine oil. See Replacing the Cutting Blade for instructions on removing the blade. WRENCH BLOCK OF WOOD Page 13 Fig. 12 MAINTENANCE Place the new blade on the shaft against the fan assembly. Make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing up toward the mower deck and not down toward the ground. FAN ASSEMBLY Replace the blade insulator and spacer, then thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten. NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact order in which they were removed. Torque the blade nut down using a torque wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is properly tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is 450600 in. lbs. SHAFT BLADE SHARPENING THE BLADE See Figure 14. For best mowing performance, the mower blade must be kept sharp. A dull blade does not cut grass evenly and overloads the motor. Under normal circumstances, sharpening the blade twice during the mowing season is usually sufficient. However, if your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpenings may be required. SPACER BLADE INSULATOR BLADE NUT Fig. 13 Following the instructions in the Replacing the Cutting Blade section, remove the mower blade. DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower. WARNING: When removing, inspect the blade carefully. If blade is bent or damaged, replace immediately with a new blade. Failure to replace a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury. � Using a fine-tooth file or stone, sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends. BALANCING THE BLADE Fig. 14 See Figure 15. When sharpening, care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when the mower is running. This vibration will eventually cause damage to the mower, especially the motor. To check the blade balance: Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vise as shown. NOTE: If a vise is not available, a straight nail can also be used. Place the center hole of blade on the screwdriver (or nail) shank. If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward, sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced. Page 14 Fig. 15 MAINTENANCE REPLACING WHEELS See Figure 16. To replace a wheel: HUBCAP Stop the motor and remove the switch key. � Turn the mower on its side. COTTER PIN Using a flat blade screwdriver, pry off the hubcap. Remove the cotter pin from the wheel axle, then remove the wheel. Replace with new tire and insert new cotter pin to secure. Replace hubcap. STORING THE MOWER See Figure 17. Remove the switch key and store in a secure location out of the reach of children. Turn mower on its side and clean grass clippings that have accumulated on the underside of the mower deck. WHEEL AXLE WHEEL Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. � Check all nuts, bolts, knobs, screws, fasteners, etc., for tightness. � Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage, and wear. Have repairs made on any damaged or missing parts. Fig. 16 Store mower indoors in a clean, dry place out of the reach of children. Do not store near corrosive materials such as fertilizer or rock salt. To lower the handle before storing: Fully loosen the handle knobs on the sides of the handle and fold the upper handle down. Push inward on each side of the lower handle, and lift the sides of the lower handle past the edges of the handle mounting brackets. HANDLE KNOBS UPPER HANDLE LOWER HANDLE BATTERY MAINTENANCE It is recommended to charge the mower every 2 months for optimum performance when not in use.
