SAFETY INFORMATION
• Use extra care while operating machine with a grass catcher or other attachment(s). They
can affect the stability of the machine.
OPERATION ON A SLOPE:
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which 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, use the slope gauge on page 19 to measure slopes before operating this unit on a
sloped or hilly area. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, do not mow it.
Do:
• Mow across the face of slopes; never mow 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.
Do not:
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments; you could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees, as shown on the slope gauge.
• Do not mow on wet grass. Unstable footing could cause slipping.
SERVICE
WARNING
• Grass bag components, the discharge cover, side-discharge chute, mulching insert and
trailing shield are subject to wear and damage, which could expose moving parts or allow
objects to be thrown and could increase the risk of injury. For safety protection, frequently
check all components and replace damaged components immediately with identical
replacement parts, listed in this manual.
• Do not wash the mower with a hose; avoid getting water in the motor and electrical connections.
• Remove the battery and store the idle lawn mower in a covered area when not in use. Allow
the motor to cool before storing it in any enclosure. The lawn mower should be stored in a
dry, high, or locked-up enclosure, out of reach of children.
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts listed in this manual. Use of parts that
do not meet the original equipment specications may lead to improper performance and
compromised safety.
• Remove or disconnect the battery pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the lawn mower.
• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• To reduce a re hazard, keep the motor cover free of grass, leaves, and debris build-up.
• Check the blade and motor mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness. Also,
visually inspect the blade for damage (e.g., bending, cracking and wear). Replace the blade
only with the identical replacement blade, as listed in this manual.
• Maintain your mower with care – keep the mower blade sharp and clean for the best and
safest performance. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear gloves
and use extra caution when servicing it.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Never remove or tamper with safety devices. Regularly check their proper operation.
Never do anything to interfere with the intended function of a safety device or to reduce the
protection provided by a safety device.
• Always stop the motor before making adjustments to a wheel or a cutting-height adjustment.
