Before using the mower for the first time, raise the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. To adjust the blade height:

• To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever and move it toward the back of the mower.
• To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever and move it toward the front of the mower.

Slopes are a major factor related to accidents involving slips and falls. Follow these guidelines:

• Mow across the face of a slope, and never up and down.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on a slope.
• Watch for holes, ruts, rocks, hidden objects, or bumps that may cause a slip or a trip.
• Always be sure of your footing. If you feel like you are losing your balance, release the bail lever immediately.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
• Do not mow a slope that has an angle of greater than 15°.
• Do not mow wet or damp grass.

1. Stop mower, allow blades to completely stop, and remove the battery.

2. Lift the rear discharge cover.

3. Lift the grass catcher bag by its handle to remove from mower.

4. Empty grass clippings.

5. Lift the rear discharge cover and reinstall the grass catcher bag.

Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves. Always remove the battery when servicing the mower.

1. Wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck to prevent the blade from turning.

2. Using an adjustable wrench or 27 mm socket, loosen the bolt. Turn the bolt “COUNTERCLOCKWISE” to loosen it.

3. Remove the bolt and the blade.

4. To re-install the blade, position the blade with the cutting edges toward the ground (verify that it is installed with the curved ends pointing toward the mower deck, and not toward the ground).

5. Assemble the bolt.

6. Using a 27 mm socket or wrench, turn the blade nut “CLOCKWISE” in order to secure the blade.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose the mower to water. Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover (do not use water).

Occasionally wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth. If debris builds up on the underside of the mower during use, stop the motor, disconnect it from the battery, and then tilt the mower on its side, and scrape it clean using an appropriate tool.

Refer to the following troubleshooting table for common issues:

• Always disconnect the battery from the machine before transporting it.
• Store the battery and charger separately in a dry place, free of moisture and frost.
• Do not store the battery in places where static electricity can be generated. Never transport the battery in a metal box.
• Store the battery in a place away from extreme temperatures, and away from direct sunlight.
• Store the charger only in a closed and dry place.
• Recharge the batteries every 3 months.
• When your mower is not in use, it should be stored in a dry place out of the reach of children.
