1. To start and operate the mower, press and hold down the red
safety button with one hand, then pull the starting lever back
toward the handle grip with the other hand. There are similar
instructions on the handle itself stating: “To operate pull handle
while depressing safety button.”
2. As soon as the mower has started, release the red safety button.
3. When the starting lever is released, the motor switches off.
4. The mower may be restarted at any time with the same procedure.
NORMAL MOWING
To obtain a clean cut, push the mower in straight lines (passes) at a
deliberate walking pace. Overlap the passes to even the cut and to
avoid any uncut strips.
MOWING USING THE GRASS CATCHER (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)
The grass catcher collects the clippings as it mows. It attaches at the
grass catcher hooks on the mower and by the strap to the mower
handle. Mow using the same procedure as for normal mowing (above).
The roller apron keeps clippings from falling down between the cutting
bar and the roller thus missing the grass catcher. The roller apron is
installed just behind the cutting bar using the two screws provided.
Once the roller apron is installed it is not necessary to remove it
whether or not you are using the grass catcher.
OVERLOADING/OVERHEATING
If the mower blade is blocked, the blade drive will overload and cause
slippage of the belt, resulting in a loud “brrrrrrr” sound.
1. Release the starting lever. If there is any foreign object in the blade
area, it must be removed before proceeding.
2. Open the battery box, remove the orange power key, and then
service the blade area by removing the foreign object.
Do not attach or remove the grass
catcher while the motor is running.
