OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER

STARTING/STOPPING THE MOWER (See Figure 8)

To start the motor:

• Open the battery door.
• Insert the battery.
• Press and hold the safety lock-out button (1).
• Pull the bail lever (2) upward to the handle to start the mower and release the button.

To stop the motor:

• Release the bail lever.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to override the operation of the safety lock-out button or bail lever.

WARNING: The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower and while performing any adjustments or repairs.

WARNING: Ensure that other people and pets remain at least 100 feet (30 m) away when the mower is in use.

INSPECT THE CUTTING AREA. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris that might be thrown by the rotating blades.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (See Figure 9)

When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-cutting position. Before using the mower for the first time, raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. The average lawn should be between 1 1/2" to 2" (3.8 to 5 cm) during cool months and between 2" and 3 1/2" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) during hot months.

To adjust the blade height:

• To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever (1) and move it toward the back of the mower.
• To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever (1) and move it toward the front of the mower.

SLOPE GAUGE (See Figure 10)

WARNING: Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls, which can result in severe injury. Operating the mower on a slope requires extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it. for your safety, use the slope gauge that is included as part of this manual to measure slopes before operating this unit on a sloped or hilly area.

• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the blade/ motor control handle immediately. The blade will stop rotating within 3 seconds.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments, because you could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°, as determined using the slope gauge.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass. Unstable footing can cause slipping.

WARNING: Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15° (a rise of approximately 2 1/2 feet [.75 m] every 10 feet [3 m]). Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.

MOWING TIPS

NOTE: A sharp blade will greatly enhance the performance of the mower, especially when cutting high grass. Be sure to check the blade and to sharpen it at least once per year, as described in the Maintenance section.

• Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the blades or the motor. These objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction, and could cause serious personal injury to the operator and to others. In order to prevent electric shock, do not operate the mower in damp or wet conditions.
• Do not mow in circles. Travel back and forth across the lawn.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.
• For a healthy lawn, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass. The average lawn should be approximately 1 1/2 to 2” (3.8 to 5 cm) long during cool months, and between 2" to 3 1/4" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) long during hot months. If there is growth, the lawn should be cut in the fall.

MULCHING TIPS

NOTE: INSPECT THE AREA WHERE THE MOWER IS TO BE USED, AND REMOVE ALL STONES, STICKS, WIRE, BONES, AND OTHER DEBRIS THAT MIGHT BE THROWN BY THE ROTATING BLADE.

• Release the bail lever to turn the Mower Off when crossing any graveled area (stones can be thrown by the blade).
• Set mower to the highest cutting height when mowing on uneven ground or in tall weeds.
• For effective mulching, do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck, preventing proper mulching of grass clippings. new or thick grass may require a narrower cut. The ground speed should be adjusted to the condition of the lawn. If mowing has been delayed and the grass has been allowed to grow longer than 4" (10 cm), mow the lawn twice in order to reduce the grass height to a maximum of 3 1/4” (8.3 cm).
• Walk at a steady pace. Overlap the cutting rows. Do not let the grass get too tall. If the grass gets too long, start at the highest cutting position and work down to the desired cutting height.

WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the motor and remove the battery. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair any damage before operating the mower. Excessive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. Thoroughly inspect the mower and repair any damage before operating the mower.

EMPTYING THE GRASS CATCHER BAG (See Figure 11)

• Stop mower, allow blades to completely stop, and remove the battery.
• Lift the rear discharge cover.
• Lift the grass catcher bag by its handle to remove from mower.
• Empty grass clippings.
• Lift the rear discharge cover and reinstall the grass catcher bag as described earlier in this manual.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE (See Figure 12-13)

WARNING: Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges with rags or other materials when performing any maintenance on the blades. ALWAYS remove the battery when servicing or transporting the mower.

Use only a GREENWORKS replacement blade (Item#: 2903402).

• REMOVE BATTERY.
• While wearing leather padded gloves, wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck in order to prevent the blade from turning when the bolt (1) is being removed.
• Using an adjustable wrench or 27 mm socket, loosen the bolt (1) and remove the blade (2). Turn the bolt “COUnTERCLOCKWISE” to loosen it and “CLOCKWISE” to tighten it.
• Remove the bolt (1) and the blade (2).
• To re-install the blade, position the blade with the cutting edges toward the ground. Assemble the bolt as shown. Using a 27 mm socket or wrench, turn the blade nut " CLOCKWISE” in order to secure the blade.

NOTE: Be sure to replace the parts in the exact order in which they were removed. When installing the cutting blade, verify that it is installed with the curved ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward the ground. Refer to the schematic drawing on page 30 of this manual.

CLEANING THE MOWER

WARNING: In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water. The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use, because grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris will accumulate, which will cause rust and corrosion.

Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water). Occasionally wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. If debris builds up on the underside of the mower during use, stop the motor, disconnect it from the battery, and then tilt the mower on its side, and scrape it clean using an appropriate tool.

STORING THE MOWER

The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.

• Clean the mower as described in the previous section.
• Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Maintenance section).
• Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rock salt.
• Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which causes rust and corrosion.

The handle may be folded away completely for storage. (See Figure 14)

• Pull and rotate the handle knobs (1) 90° on both sides to loosen the lower handles (2) on both sides. fold the lower handle forward. Make sure not to bend or kink the power cord.
  
• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every two months when not in use in order to increase its life.
• Remove the battery and store in a secure location out of the reach of children.

WARNING: This battery must be charged every 2 months while in storage to maintain maximum capacity.
