Troubleshooting

• Mower will not start: Ensure batteries are fully charged and properly installed. Check that the safety start lever and control bar are being engaged correctly.
• Poor cutting performance or uneven cut: Check that the cutting height is set evenly on all wheels. Ensure the blade is sharp and not damaged. Mow at a slower, steady pace.
• Grass not discharging or bagging properly: Ensure the correct mode is selected on the dial. Check that the mower deck and discharge chute are not clogged with grass. Do not allow the grass bag to overfill.
• Reduced runtime: Batteries may be depleted. Recharge fully. Extreme cold can reduce battery performance. Ensure batteries are at room temperature before use.
• Mower vibrates excessively: Stop the mower immediately and remove batteries. Check for a loose or damaged blade, or debris wrapped around the blade spindle.
