USE THE USB PORT

The USB charging port provides charging power of 5 Volts DC at up to 2.1 amps for your cell phone, MP3 player, or other USB devices. Consult the owner’s manual for your device for specific charging requirements.

Connect one end of a USB cable (not provided) to your device and the other end to the USB charging port on the mower, to begin charging your device.

OPERATION TIPS

• Keep mower blades sharp.

• Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, toys, tree nuts, tree branches, and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or other metal posts. Such objects could damage the blade or 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 mowing large areas, start by turning to the right so that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction, making left hand turns until finished.

• Mow so that discharged clippings exit in the direction of the lawn area that has already been cut.

• When cutting heavy grass, reduce speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.

• During normal mowing, cut only about 1.5" of the grass blade. Cutting more than that is not recommended unless grass is sparse or it is the end of the mowing season.

• Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass clippings.

• New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher cutting height.

• Keep the mower deck and side discharge chute clean. Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris before and after each use. Do not spray with a garden hose to clean.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip- over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.

• Travel in the manufacturer recommended direction on slopes. Use caution while operating near drop-offs.

• Do not operate machine under any condition where traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires could slide even if the wheels are stopped.

• Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not coast downhill.

• Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the edge caves in.

• Choose a low ground speed so you will not have to stop or shift while on a slope.

• Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

• Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which could cause the machine to roll over.

• Use extra care while operating machine with attachments; they can affect the stability of the machine. Do not use on steep slopes.

• If using the optional bagger kit, use extreme caution and operate the mower slowly when operating on slopes, as the bagging kit can change the stability of the mower.

• Always use the brakes when travelling down the slope. Do not attempt to let the mower coast downhill in neutral.

DIGITAL DISPLAY

The function of the digital display, located on the control panel, is to provide electrical system information to the operator. It gives detailed information in the form of pattern, codes and number.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is the best prevention for costly downtime or expensive, premature repair. The following pages contain suggested maintenance information and schedules which the operator should follow on a routine basis. For more detailed information, refer to the website for your unit. Remain alert for unusual noises, as they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage.

TIRES

It is important for level mowing that all tires have the correct amount of air pressure. The recommended pressure are:

MOWER BLADE MAINTENANCE

Check the mower blades daily. They are the key to power efficiency and well-groomed turf. Keep them sharp -- a dull blade will tear rather than cut the grass, leaving a brown ragged top on the grass within a few hours. A dull blade also requires more power. Replace any blade that is bent, cracked or broken.

REPLACE THE BLADE

1. Stop the motor, remove the start key, and set the parking brake.

2. Raise the height of the cutting deck to its highest position to allow access to blades.

3. Wedge a block of wood between the blade and mower deck to prevent the blade from turning.

4. Loosen the blade nut by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed from bottom of mower) using a 16 mm wrench or socket (not provided).

5. Remove the blade nut, spacer, blade insulator, and blade.

6. Thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten.

7. Torque the blade nut down clockwise using a torque wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is properly tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is 796~885 in. lbs.

8. Repeat with second blade, if needed

REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT

1. Park the mower on a level surface and set the parking brake.

2. Stop the motor and remove the start key.

3. Remove and set aside the hex head screw and flat washer holding the mower floor panel in place.

4. Lift floor panel slightly to access the two hex head screws and flat washers securing the headlight in place. Remove screws and washers and set aside.

5. Unplug the old headlight and discard.

6. Plug in new headlight and reinstall washers and screws. Tighten securely.

7. Lower floor panel and reinstall washer and screw to secure.

LUBRICATION

Please add oil before operation

Contact your Greenworks dealer to replace the lubrication.

BATTERY PACK MAINTENANCE

Your Greenworks mower is powered by a battery pack which, when maintained properly, will provide years of useful life. For proper care, adhere to the following instructions:

• Always charge batteries after each use.

• Whenever a battery pack is fully discharged and turned off, it is best to recharge the battery as soon as possible. Over-discharge of the battery pack means the battery life will be shortened and the battery may become permanently damaged. There is no need to fully charge; it will be beneficial even if you only charge the battery pack for 5-10 minutes. It is best to recharge it within 24 hours.

• Check that battery cables are securely tightened to batteries each time you service the battery.

• Keep grass, dirt and debris from collecting near battery terminals and in battery area.

• Charge batteries indoors in a well-ventilated and dry location away from sparks or flames. Never expose charger to rain, vapor or liquid.

• Charge only lithium batteries provided by Greenworks.

• Do not touch uninsulated portion of charger (terminal pins) or of output connector.

• Do not use with defective cords and wires. Replace defective cords and wires immediately.

• For long-term storage, please make sure the storage temperature is -4°F - 113°F within one month, and 32°F -95°F between two and 12 months.

• The working environment of the battery pack is 14°F -113°F. Battery pack can be used a -5°F - 131°F for discharge, and 32°F - 107°F for charge.

BATTERY COMPARTMENT FILTER MAINTENANCE

Replace the battery compartment filter every 200 hours.

Raise deck, rotate key to “OFF” position, remove key from switch and disconnect battery cables by pulling inward on RED battery quick disconnect handle in battery box compartment.
• Any maintenance operation that requires the removal of safety covers must be performed by a trained service technician.
• Before working on or under the deck, make certain ignition switch is “OFF” and key is removed and deck blade switch cannot be accidentally started and disconnect battery cables by pulling inward on RED battery quick disconnect handle in battery box compartment.
• Use a stick or similar instrument to clean under the mower, making sure that no part of the body -- especially arms and hands -- is under mower.
• Keep your machine clean and remove any deposits of trash and clippings.
• Keep battery compartment, deck and operator’s station clean of accumulated trash, grass clippings, and other debris.
• Clean battery compartment, drive motor compartment, mower deck, seat, etc., of all dirt and debris. To clean, use only compressed air. DO NOT use water, solvents, hard cleaners or abrasives.
• Always wear adequate eye protection when servicing the batteries or when grinding mower blades and removing accumulated debris. Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs to the mower’s drive system, mower deck or any attachment while the traction drive system is running. Repairs or maintenance requiring power should be performed by trained maintenance personnel only.
• Never work under the machine or attachment unless it is safely supported with jack stands. Make certain machine is secure when it is raised and placed on the jack stands. The jack stands should not allow the machine to move when the traction drive system is running and the drive wheels are rotating. Use only certified jack stands. Use only appropriate jack stands, with a minimum weight rating of 2000 pounds (907.2 kg) to block the unit up.
• Use in pairs only. Follow the instructions supplied with the vehicle stands.
• Do not touch hot parts of machine.
• Keep nuts and bolts tight, especially the blade attachment bolts. Keep equipment in good working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• Turn the key to the “OFF” position before unclogging the discharge chute.
• Never clear the discharge chute with the machine running. Turn the key to the “OFF” position and be sure the blades have stopped before cleaning. Use a stick to clear a plugged discharge area. Never use your hand!
• Stop unit and allow blades to stop before unclogging chute. Grass collection system components are subject to wear, damage and deterioration, which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Frequently check components and replace with manufacturer’s recommended parts, when necessary.
• Exercise caution when working under the deck as the mower blades are extremely sharp. Wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.
• Use only genuine Greenworks Mower parts to ensure that original standards are maintained.
• Always disconnect batteries when transporting unit. Keep unit free of grass clippings, leaves and other debris.
• Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
• Have your ride-on lawn mower serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the ride-on lawn mower is maintained.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
