MOWING TIPS

• Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blade or motor. Do not mow over property stakes or other metal posts. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.

• For a healthy lawn, always cut off 1/3 or less of the total length of the grass.

• Do not cut wet grass, it will stick to the underside of the deck and prevent proper bagging or mulching of grass clippings.

• New or thick grass may require a narrower cut or a higher cutting height.

• Clean the underside of the mower deck after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris.

• When cutting long grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.

NOTE: Always stop mower, allow blade to completely stop, and remove the isolator key before cleaning underneath the mower.

REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE

NOTE: Only use authorised replacement blades. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

1. Stop the motor. Allow blade to come to a complete stop.

2. Turn the mower on its side.

3. Wedge an obstruction (6) between the blade and mower deck to prevent the blade from turning.

4. Loosen the blade nut by turning it counterclockwise (as viewed from bottom of mower) using a

15 mm wrench or socket (not provided) (5).

5. Remove the blade nut (1), spacer (2), blade insulator (3), and blade (4).

6. Make certain the blade holder is pushed completely against the motor shaft.

7. Place the new blade on the shaft. Ensure blade is properly seated with shaft going through centre blade hole and the two blade posts inserted into their respective holes on the blade. Make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing up toward the mower deck and not down toward the ground. When seated properly, the blade should be flat against the blade holder.

8. Replace the blade insulator and spacer, then thread the blade nut on the shaft and finger tighten.

NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact order in which they were removed.

9. Torque the blade nut down clockwise using a torque wrench (not provided) to ensure the bolt is properly tightened. The recommended torque for the blade nut is 62.5~71.5 kgf-cm

(350-400 in.-lb).

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The mower battery is designed for maximum life; however, like all batteries, it will eventually need to be replaced.

Charge the new battery pack before use. See Battery & Charger section of this manual.

TO INSTALL A NEW BATTERY:

1. Carefully lift the old battery by the handle.

2. Install the new battery pack.

3. Take the old battery pack to a recycling centre that accepts lead acid/lithium ion batteries. Never dispose of battery in fire or regular household trash.

CLEANING THE MOWER

The underside of mower deck should be cleaned after each use as grass clippings, leaves, dirt and other debris will accumulate, causing rust and corrosion.

• Remove any buildup 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 build up on the underside of the unit while in use, stop the motor and remove the battery.

Tilt the mower forward or on its side, and scrape it clean with an appropriate tool.

STORING THE MOWER

The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.

• Clean the mower as described in the previous section.

• Inspect the blade, and replace it or sharpen it, if required (refer to the Maintenance section).

• Lubricate the mower (refer to the Maintenance section).

• Store the mower in a dry, clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rock salt.

• Store the mower indoors, in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which causes rust and corrosion.

• Remove the battery and store it in a cool dry location, if possible. Charge the battery every two months when not in use in order to extend its life.

• Remove the key and store in a secure location out of the reach of children. Removal of the battery is not required for storage.

• The handle may be folded away completely for storage:

• Fully loosen the handle knobs on the sides of the handle and fold the upper handle down.

• Push inward on each side of the lower handle, and lift the sides of the lower handle past the edges of the handle mounting brackets. Avoid pinching or trapping any cables.
