Mowing tips

Warning! Always inspect area where mower is to be used

and remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris

which might be thrown by the rotating blade.

Warning! Mow across the face of slopes, never up-and-down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes. Always maintain good

footing.

u Release bail handle to turn mower “Off” when crossing

any gravel area (stones can be thrown by the blade).

u Set mower at highest cutting height when mowing in rough

ground or in tall weeds. Removing too much grass at one

time can cause the motor to be overloaded and to stop.

Refer to troubleshooting guide.

u If a grass collection bag (8) is used during the fast growing

season, the grass may tend to clog up at the discharge

opening. Release bail handle to turn mower off and

remove the safety key. Remove the catcher and shake

the grass down to the back end of the bag. Also clean

out any grass or debris which may be packed around the

discharge opening. Replace the grass catcher.

u If mower should start to vibrate abnormally, release bail

handle to turn mower off and remove safety key. Check

immediately for cause. Vibration is a warning of trouble.

Do not operate mower until a service check has been

made.

Refer to troubleshooting guide in manual.

u Always release bail handle to turn mower off when leaving

it unattended even for a short period of time.

Tips for optimum performance

u Slow down in areas where the grass is especially long or

thick.

u Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or dew-

soaked.

u Cut your lawn frequently, especially during high growth

periods.

Note: It is recommended that your mower be recharged

after use to prolong the battery life.

Frequent charging will not harm your battery, and will ensure

that the battery is fully charged and ready for its next use.

Storing battery not fully charged will shorten battery life.

Removing and installing blade

Warning! When reassembling the blade system, ensure each

part is reinstalled correctly, as described below.

Improper assembly of the blade or other parts of the blade

system may cause serious injury.

Warning! Release bail handle to turn mower off, wait for the

blade to stop, and unplug mower.

u Cut a piece of 2x4 wood (34) (about 610 mm) to keep

blade from turning while removing bolt (35).

u Wear gloves and proper eye protection.

u Turn the mower on its side. Be careful of sharp edges of

blade. Position wood and unscrew bolt with 13mm wrench

(36) as shown in gure W.

u Note the orientation of each part as you remove it.

Remove bolt (35) and washer (37). Pull off blade (38) as

shown in Figure X. The fan (39) should not be removed.

Examine all pieces for damage and replace if necessary.

u The blade can only be attached to the fan in one direction.

To reassemble, line up the D-shaped hole of the blade

with the D-shaped post of the fan, ensuring the writing on

the blade faces out away from the mower.

u To tighten, position the piece of wood as shown in Figure

Y to keep the blade from turning. Slide the bolt through

the washer and tighten the bolt clockwise into place with a

13mm wrench (36) as shown in Figure Y.

Blade sharpening

Keep blade sharp for best mower performance. A dull blade

does not cut grass cleanly. Use proper eye protection while

removing, sharpening, and installing blade. Ensure that safety

key and battery pack is removed.

Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing season is usually

sufcient under normal circumstances.

Sand causes the blade to dull quickly. If your lawn has sandy

soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.

Note: Replace bent or damaged blade immediately.

When sharpening the blade:

u Make sure blade remains balanced.

u Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.

u Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of blade, removing

equal amounts of material from both ends.

To sharpen blade in a vice (g. V)

u Be sure the bail handle is released, the blade has stopped

and the mower is unplugged before removing the blade.

u Remove blade from mower. See instructions for removing

and installing blade.

u Secure blade (38) in a vice (40).

u Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be careful not

to cut yourself.

Carefully le the cutting edges of the blade with a ne

tooth le (41) or sharpening stone, maintaining the angle

of the original cutting edge. Check balance of blade. See

instructions for blade balancing.

u Replace blade on mower and tighten securely.

Blade balancing

Check balance of the blade (38) by placing centre hole in

the blade over a nail or round shank screwdriver, clamped

horizontally in a vice. If either end of the blade rotates down-

ward, le along the sharp edge of that dropping end. Blade is

properly balanced when neither end drops.

Lubrication

No lubrication is necessary. Do not oil the wheels. They have

plastic bearing surfaces which require no lubrication.
