NOTE: Read instruction handbook before operation this machine.
ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
| Action | Figure |
| ASSEMBLY | |
| Assembling the handle bar | See Fig. A1 |
| Adjustment Handle’s height | See Fig. A2 |
| Assembling the grass collection bag | See Fig. B |
Assembling the grass collection bag to the lawn mower NOTE: Depress the grass collection bag slightly to ensure that it is completely installed. NOTE: Take the mulching insert out of the lawn mower before fitting the grass collection bag. | See Fig. C1, C2, C3 |
Removing/emptying grass collection bag
| See Fig. D |
| Installing side-discharge chute | See Fig. E1 E2 |
| Installing mulching insert | See Fig. F |
Removing /fitting the battery pack NOTE: This machine will only run when 2 batteries are installed. It is recommended to use the same two batteries and charge the two batteries at the same time. When you use two batteries with different power, the machine will only run to the lower common denominator. | See Fig. G1, G2 |
Checking the battery charge condition NOTE: Fig. H1 only applies for the battery pack with battery indicator light. | See Fig. H1 |
Charging the battery pack NOTE: The batteries are shipped uncharged. Each battery must be fully charged before the first mow. Always fully charge the two batteries at same time. More details can be found in charger’s manual. | See Fig. H2 |
| OPERATION | |
Power indicator light See details in BATTERY STATUS part IMPORTANT: When only one light is illuminated, your battery is overly discharged, even though the machine may still be capable to work. Continuing to operate your machine with the battery in this discharged condition may reduce the life and performance of your battery. When no light is illuminated, at least one battery is not fully installed or battery may be defective, please double check the batteries are fully seated into position. | See Fig. J |
| Starting and Stopping | See Fig. K1, K2, K3 |
Adjusting the cutting height
| See Fig L |
| Storage | See Fig. M1, M2 |
BATTERY STATUS (See Fig. J)
• Before starting or after use, press the button beside the power indicator light on the machine to check the battery capacity.
• During operation, the battery capacity will be indicated automatically by the battery power indicator. The indicator constantly senses and displays the battery condition as follows.
• For the machine with 2 battery packs with different power, the power indicator light displays the battery condition with the lower one of the two batteries.
| Battery power indicator status | Battery condition |
| Five green lights ( | The two batteries are in a highly charged condition. |
| Two, three or four green lights are illuminated. | The two batteries have a remaining charge. The more lights are illuminated, the more battery capacity |
| Only one green light ( | The battery level of at least one battery pack is very low. Please check and charge the battery pack. |
| No light is illuminated. | At least one battery is not fully installed or battery may be defective. |
| Only one light is flashing twice per cycle. | At least one battery is over discharged (please refer to the battery charge condition), please recharge the two batteries at once before use again or storage. |
| Only one light is flashing three times per cycle. | At least one battery is hot, wait for them cool down before start again. |
| Only one light is flashing four times per cycle. | The machine is over load. Raise the cutting height or push slowly. |
MULCHING MOWING TIPS
When using the mulching plug, your new mower is designed to cut the grass clippings into small pieces and distribute them back into the lawn, using mulching fins located inside the mower deck.
Under normal conditions, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients to the lawn. Please review the following recommendations for optimum mulching performance,
CUTTING AREA
The cutting area can be affected by many factors including: cutting height, operation practices (ex: starting/ stopping), lawn moisture levels, grass length and thickness.
It is ideal for mowing ¼ acre to ½ acre lot sizes
TIPS:
WARNING: Stop the mower and remove the safety key before removing the grass collection bag.
NOTE:
To ensure long and reliable service, perform the following maintenance procedures regularly. Check for obvious defects such as a loose, dislodged or a damaged blade, loose fittings, and worn or damaged components. Check that the covers and guards are all undamaged and are correctly attached to mower. Carry out any necessary maintenance or repairs before operating mower. If the mower should happen to fail despite regular maintenance, please call our customer helpline for advice.
BLADE SHARPENING
KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY. WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS REMOVED.
Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually sufficient under normal circumstances.
Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.
REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE IMMEDIATELY.
WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE (See Fig. N)
NOTE:
BLADE BALANCING (See Fig. O)
Check balance of blade by placing center hole in blade O-1 over a nail or screwdriver shank O-2, clamped horizontally in a vise O-3. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end. Blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.
BLADE MAINTENANCE (See Fig. P1, P2)
Replace your metal Blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner-regardless of condition.
Follow these procedures to remove and replace the Blade. You will need garden gloves (not provided) and a spanner wrench (not provided) to remove the Blade. Hold the Blade and unscrew the Blade Bolt counter-clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then remove the Blade.
To re-assemble, position the Blade with the cutting edges towards the ground. Then securely tighten the Blade Bolt.
STORAGE (SEE FIG. M1, M2)
Stop the mower and always remove the Safety Key. Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from the ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area, remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage, release the Handle knobs, and rotate or fold the Upper Handle.
FOR BATTERY TOOLS
The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of tool and battery is 0o C-45oC (32o F-113o F).
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is 0o C-40o C (32o F104o F).
Problem | Solution |
1. Mower doesn’t run when switch lever is activated. |
|
2. Motor stops while mowing. |
|
3. Mower runs but cutting performance is unsatisfactory, or does not cut entire lawn. |
|
4. Mower is too hard to push. | A. Raise cutting height to reduce deck drag on grass. Check each wheel for free rotation. |
5. Mower is abnormally noisy and vibrates. |
|
6. Battery charger LED’s not on. |
|
7. Battery charger LED does not flip to green. | A. Battery needs to be diagnosed. Take to authorized service center. |
8. Mower not picking up clippings with the Grass Collection Bag. |
|
9. When mulching there are clippings visible. |
|
10. Low or diminished run-time after many uses | A. Return to Authorized Service location - may need new battery. |
11. The battery charger LED flashes red and the battery can’t be charged. | A. The battery overheats after continuous use. Remove battery from the charger and allow it to cool to 42oC or less. |
