■ The blade bolts must be tightened to the recommended
torque.
■ Check the brakes before each use and frequently during
use. Adjust and service the brakes as required.
■ Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent
entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and
fixed parts of the product.
■ The cutting blades continue to rotate for a few seconds
after the motor is turned off. When servicing the blades,
be aware that even though the power source is switched
off, the blades can still be moved. Never place any part
of the body in the blade area until you are sure the
blades have stopped rotating.
■ The blade on the product is sharp. Use extreme caution
and wear heavy-duty gloves when fitting, replacing,
cleaning or checking bolt security.
■ After each use, clean the plastic parts with a soft, dry
cloth. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.
■ Keep the product free of grass, leaves, or other debris
build up.
■ Do not use water to clean the product. Use an air moving
device, such as a compressor or leaf blower to clean
the product.
TYRE MAINTENANCE
The product is equipped with tubeless tyres. When tyres are
worn, the traction of the mower decreases, which increases
the chance of having an accident. Replace the tyres when
the depth on the tread is 4 mm or less, or any time there is
damage to the tyre. Always use original replacement tyres.
Using incorrect tyres on the product could cause loss of
control, which could cause serious personal injury.
Have the tyres replaced only by an authorised service centre.
TYRE AIR PRESSURE
Check the air pressure in all four tyres before each use.
Improper air pressure aff ects handling, steering response,
traction, tyre life, level cutting, and operator comfort. Make
sure that tyres are infl ated to the recommended air pressure.
The tyre air pressure should only be measured or adjusted
when tyres are cold.
TYRE REPAIR
If a leak or fl at tyre occurs due to a puncture, the tyre may
be repaired using a plug-type patch. If the damage is from
a cut, or if the puncture cannot be repaired using a plug,
replace the tyre.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
See page 272, 274.
If the mower travels further before stopping when stepping
on the brake pedal, the brakes need adjusting.
After fi nal adjustment, test the brakes by driving the mower
at normal speed on fl at ground to be sure that the mower
stops quickly when brake pedal is stepped on.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES
■ Turn off the product, engage the parking brake,
and remove the start key. Set the cutting deck to the
maximum height. Make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
■ Always wear heavy-duty gloves when checking or
clearing a blockage. The blades are sharp and the
blockage itself could be a sharp object.
■ Check and carefully clear the side discharge chute for
blockages. Remember that the blade may move during
cleaning.

1. Direction control switch
The direction control switch controls the direction
movement of the mower. Available settings are forward
(F), neutral (N), and reverse (R).
Make sure that the intended direction of travel is correctly
set with the direction control switch before stepping on
the accelerator pedal.
2. USB port
The USB charging port provides charging power of 5
V dc at up to 1 A for your cell phone, MP3 player, or
other USB devices. Check the manual of your device for
specific charging requirements.
Connect one end of a USB cable (not provided) to your
device and the other end to the USB charging port on the
product to charge your device.
NOTE: The USB port is powered only when the start key
is in the ON position.
WARNING! Attempting to charge devices rated more
than 1 A could damage the USB charging port and the
mower. Always close the USB cover when not in use to
prevent trapping debris in the port.

key must be inserted before the switch can be operated.
When the key is in the accessory position, the power
switch is also used to power optional manufacturer-
approved mower accessories.
4. Battery level indicator / hour meter
The battery level indicator shows the amount of battery

position) for maintenance purposes.
When the level of battery charge reaches the red zone
on the battery charge indicator, the blades automatically
stop. Return to the charging location immediately and
recharge the mower. Continuing to mow when the
battery charge level is in the red zone may cause the
mower to be stranded away from the charging area.
NOTE: If the mower is stranded away from the charger,
set the direction control switch to the neutral (N) position,
and push the mower back to the charging location.
