NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 15
Controls and Features
Make certain that you are familiar with the controls, parts, and operation of your NEUTON Mower
before using it.
Key Slot
The key slot is for both the external battery charger and the safety key. This design serves as a safety
measure: you can never connect both the external battery charger and insert the safety key at the
same time. In other words, you can either operate your mower or charge its battery; you cannot do
both at the same time.
Safety Key
Insert the safety key to run the motor (Figure 11). The
safety key can be inserted either way — it has no front
or back.
The safety key has a built-in circuit breaker to protect the
motor. When the built-in circuit breaker is tripped,
the white button on top of the safety key will pop up.
Before attempting to restart the mower, push the white
button all the way down until it locks into place. (There is
no replacement fuse inside the safety key.)
Start Button
The start button starts the motor (but only when the
control levers are depressed).
Control Levers
The control levers are a safety feature. When the levers are depressed, the motor continues to run
and the blade spins. When the levers are released, the motor shuts off and the blade stops spinning
within three seconds.
Indicator Light
The status indicator light on the upper handblebar
assembly (Figure 12) illuminates when a charged
battery is installed and the safety key inserted. The
light is green.
Note: A green indicator light does not guarantee
that the battery is fully charged, only that it has
some charge, that the electrical system is ready, and
that the mower can be started.
WARNING! If the green light goes out, do not operate the mower again until the
battery is fully charged; otherwise the battery’s charging capacity might be
decreased.
