SOFT-START
This LI-ION mower is equipped with a "soft- start" feature. When initially starting up, the mower will take approx. 3
seconds to get up to full speed. If the mower does not initially start: Remove the battery and check under the mower
deck to ensure there is nothing obstructing the blade and that the blade can spin freely by hand. Even a small amount
of grass on start up will prevent the "softstart" from turning the mower on.
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to override the operation of the safety lock-out button or bail lever.
ATTENTION: The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower and
while performing any adjustments or repairs.
ATTENTION: Ensure that other people and pets remain at least 100 feet (30 m) away when the
mower is in use.
INSPECT THE CUTTING AREA
Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris that might be thrown by the rotating blades.
CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
When shipped, the wheels on the mower are set to a low-
cutting position. Before using the mower for the first time, raise
the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn. The
average lawn should be between 1" to 2" (2.5 to 5 cm) during
cool months and between 2" and 3 1/2" (5 cm to 8.3 cm) during
hot months.
TO ADJUST THE BLADE HEIGHT:
To raise the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever (1) and
move it toward the back of the mower.
To lower the blade height, grasp the height adjustment lever (1)
and move it toward the front of the mower.
