NEUTON EM 5.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions
•
Do not modify your Mower or over-speed the motor. Remember, modifications to your Mower
void your warranty.
•
Do not use your NEUTON Mower for any job other than those for which it is intended.
Mowing on Slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. All
slopes require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Do:
•
Use caution on slopes. Whenever possible, mow across slopes, not up and down.
Exercise caution when changing directions on slopes.
•
Remove objects such as rocks and tree limbs, or any other potential object that could be
thrown by the Mower blade. Objects struck by the lawn mower blade can cause severe injuries.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Do Not:
•
Do not mow steep slopes or other areas where stability or traction is in doubt.
•
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.
•
Do not mow on wet grass. Unsure footing could cause you to slip.
Servicing Your Mower
•
Never make adjustments or repairs with the motor running. Remove the safety key and battery
to prevent accidental starting.
•
Keep all nuts and bolts tight, especially blade attachment bolts, and keep the equipment in good
condition.
•
Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
•
Keep your Mower free of grass, leaves, or other debris build-up.
•
Allow the Mower to cool for at least 5 minutes before servicing or storing.
•
Never attempt to make wheel-height adjustments while the motor is running.
•
Grass-catcher components are subject to wear, damage, and deterioration, which could expose
moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. Check components frequently, and replace them
with the manufacturer’s recommended parts when necessary.
•
Mower blades are sharp; they can and do cut. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use extra
caution when working with them.
