Stopping the Motor and Blade
Simply releasing the orange Control Bar stops the Motor and Blade.
THE BLADE CONTINUES TO ROTATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU SHUT OFF THE MOTOR.
When Finished Mowing
• Remove the Safety Key when the Mower is unattended.
• Remember to recharge the Battery after each use; no matter how short a time you used it. See
“Charging the Battery” on page 28 for details.
YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE THE SAFETY KEY WITH ITS BUILT-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER AND THE BATTERY
INSERTED DURING ADJUSTMENTS OR BLADE REPLACEMENT. REMOVING THE SAFETY KEY WILL PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL STARTING, AND HELP AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Mowing and Lawn Care Tips
• For the best mowing results, mow at a steady pace. If you try to walk too quickly, especially in tall
or thick grass, the quality of the cut may not be uniform. To avoid damage and extend Battery life,
always mow at a pace allowing the Motor to run smoothly.
• The length of time that the Battery can hold a charge while mowing depends upon lawn
conditions; tall, thick, or damp grass make the Mower work harder, causing the Battery to
discharge faster. Under normal mowing conditions, the run time is between forty-five (45) and
sixty (60) minutes. To mow longer, consider purchasing a second Battery and keep it fully charged.
•
Before starting the Mower, adjust the Cutting Height so that you only cut one (1) to two (2) inches
of grass at a time. Cut thicker grass at a higher Cutting Height, or cut a narrower swath. Do not
force the Mower forward in thick grass; rather, cut it with a couple of passes. Your NEUTON Mower
will do a better and safer job when cutting at a steady pace.
• Mowing dense grasses, such as St. Augustine or Bermuda grass, requires more power to cut
properly. For these grasses, it may be necessary to move more slowly to ensure a quality cut.
•
Mow as often as needed so that you are only cutting one (1) to two (2) inches of grass each
mowing session. Trying to cut more than two (2) inches at a time will drastically reduce the charge
life of the Battery and quality of the cut.
•
For the healthiest lawn, avoid removing more than one third (1/3) of the leaf blade during any one
(1) mowing session. When more than one third (1/3) of the leaf blade is removed, the grass plant
produces less food for itself and therefore becomes weaker and more susceptible to disease and
insect damage.
• Frequent stopping and restarting of the Mower will use additional Battery energy. Try to work
continuously and smoothly when mowing.
•
Keep your Mower Blade sharp. A sharp Blade cuts the grass quickly and cleanly, using less of the
Mower’s power, which conserves Battery life. For best results, inspect the Blade often and have an
extra, sharp Blade ready to install as a replacement while you have the dull Blade sharpened.
•
Mow across slopes; never up and down.
