OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER
CONNECTING THE POWER CORD
Selecting an Extension Cord. The chart below showns the length of extension cords and the
corresponding acceptable cord ratings.
For a 50' (15 m) cord, use 16 AWG.
For a 100' (30 m) cord, use 14 AWG.
For a 150' (45 m) cord, use 12 AWG.
Use only a CSA or equivalent agency listed extension cord that is approved for outdoor use.
I M P O R T A N T
Using any other length or rating of cord will adversely effect the performance and possibly the life
of the electric motor, and may also cause breakers to trip or fuses to blow in the household fuse
box.
CONNECTING TO THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Connect the plug to the extension cord by fully inserting the plug from the mower into the
receptacle on the extension cord. The lawn mower’s plug will only t into the polarized extension
cord one way. If the plug does not t into the extension cord properly, reverse the plug. If the plug
still does not t, obtain a proper polarized extension cord or call the toll-free helpline, at 1-888-
909-6757.
