NOTICE:
When the level of battery charge reaches the red zone on
the battery charge indicator, the blades will automatically
shut off. Return immediately to recharge. Continuing to
mow when the battery charge level is in the red zone
can cause the mower to become stranded away from
the charging area.
NOTE: If the mower becomes stranded away from the
charger, it will be necessary to place the direction control
switch in neutral (N) and push the mower back to the
charging location.
Mowing:
 Raise the mower deck to its highest position.
 Insert start key and turn to ON position.
 Release the parking brake.
 Place direction control switch in forward (F) position and
drive to desired mowing location.
WARNING:
Be certain you have correctly set your intended direction
of travel with the direction control switch before pressing
the accelerator pedal. Failure to do so could result in you
driving the mower in an unintended direction, which could
cause loss of control or an accident resulting in death,
serious personal injury, or property damage.
 Stop the mower, turn key to OFF position, and set the
parking brake.
 Lower cutting deck to desired position.
 Turn start key to ON position and release parking brake.
 Raise blade engage knob to activate blades and press
accelerator pedal to mow as desired.
WARNING:
Use caution when crossing over gravel paths or drive-
ways. Before crossing, disengage the blades and raise
the cutting deck to the highest position to minimize the
possibility of ricochet. Drive slowly to avoid loss of trac-
tion and control.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to change the direction of operation while
the mower is in motion. Always come to a complete stop
before changing the mower direction.
