STARTING THE ELECTRIC ZERO TURN MOWER (Fig. 17)
Operating a zero turn mower is different from operating a standard riding mower. Zero turn mowers are rear-wheel drive
and the wheels powered independently by dedicated motors as directed by the rotation of the steering wheel. Before you
begin to mow your grass, we strongly encourage you to find a large, level, and open area to practice operating the mower
using the instructions that follow. Once you can comfortably and reliably perform each of these maneuvers, you are ready
to begin mowing.
WARNING: Clear the area of bystanders before operating the mower. If anyone enters the mowing area, stop
immediately and do not continue mowing until the bystanders leave the area.
DANGER
: Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns, as well as excessive speed, especially when first learning to operate
the mower. The mower can spin rapidly, which may cause you to lose control and could result in death, serious personal
injury and/or damage to the mower. Press the driving speed adjustment button to the lowest speed level (refer to
“Driving Speed Adjustment Button” in this manual) to limit the amount of speed available until you are fully capable of
operating the mower in all situations.
1. Insert the safety key.
2. With the safety key inserted, press the start/stop button for 3 seconds to illuminate the LCD screen.
3. Check for the appropriate driving mode, driving speed, and blade speed by pressing the driving mode button, driving
speed adjustment button, and blade speed adjustment button respectively.
NOTICE: It is always recommended to start the mower in the lowest driving speed.
4. Release the parking-brake pedal from the braking position.
5. Pull both left paddle and right paddle towards the operator simultaneously and then release them, the mower status
indicator will shine green, which means the mower is ready to drive.
NOTE: Make sure the paddles are pulled towards the operator until a “click” sound is heard, then the mower status
indicator will shine green.
NOTE: Make sure the accelerator pedal is depressed after the mower status indicator shines green, otherwise the
mower will not move and the mower status indicator will flash green.
6. Pull the PTO switch to start the cutting blades.
NOTE: The cutting blades could be started at any time once the steps 1 and 2 are completed.
7. To drive forward: depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE: When the accelerator pedal is released the mower will not continue to coast like a typical gas-powered car.
Instead, the electric brake will be applied and the mower will stop abruptly.
8. To drive in reverse: pull one of or both paddles towards the operator and hold them in that position, then depress
the accelerator pedal.
NOTICE: When the mower is started on a slope, the moment the accelerator pedal is depressed, the mower will keep still
on the slope without sliding along the slope. Once the accelerator pedal is depressed harder, the mower will start driving
forward normally. This is a function of the Slope Assist feature for safe starting of EGO electric zero turn mower.
