for connecting
• , WARNING
To reduce
the
risk of elec-
tric shock,
use only with an
extension
cord intended
for
outdoor use, such as SW-A,
SOW-A,
STW-A,
STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or
SJTOW-A.
Use proper extension
cord with this mower.
Use
only a polarized
(i.e., one blade is wider than
the other),
UL listed extension
cord marked for
outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix
W or W-A following
the cord type designation.
Example:
SJTW-A
or SJTW.
Use proper
sized cord with this mower.
Cord
must be heavy enough
to carry current needed.
An undersized
cord
will cause
voltage
drop
at mower.
The mower
will
lose power
and
overheat.
Follow
cord size requirements
listed
below.
Keep cord away from cutting
area. Make sure
cord does not catch on branches
during
cutting.
Inspect
cord often. Replace
damaged
cords.
1.
Use only
three-wire
outdoor
extension
cords
that have
three-prong
grounding-
type plugs and three-pole
receptacles
that
accept the mower's
plug.
2.
Make sure your extension
cord is in good
condition.
Cord insulation
must be intact
with no cracks or deterioration.
Plug con-
nectors
must be undamaged.
When using
an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough
to carry
the current
your mower
will draw. An undersized
extension
cord
will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting
in loss of power
and overheating.
The table
below
shows
the correct
size
extension
cord to use depending
on cord
length
and nameplate
ampere
rating.
If in
doubt,
use the next heavier
gauge cord.
The smaller
the gauge number,
the heavier
the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnec-
tion of mower fl'om the extension
cord dur-
ing operation,
use the cord hitch described
in this manual.

This
mower
should
be grounded
while
in use to reduce
the risk of injury to the
operator from electric
shock. The mower is
equipped
with an approved
three-conduc-
tor cord and three-prong
grounding-type
plug to fit the proper
grounding-type
re-
ceptacle.
The green
or green
and yellow
conductor
in the cord
is the grounding
wire. Never connect the green or green and
yellow
wire to a live terminal.
See Figure
17 for plug configuration.

receptacles.
The green-
colored
rigid ear, lug, or the like, must be
connected
to a permanent
ground,
such as
a properly
grounded
outlet box.
Provide

You may use
receptac{es
with built-in
GFCI protection
for this safety measure.

Connecting
Extension Cord
WARNING
Fu liy seat the extension cord on
the mower connector. Fai{ure to
do so could {ead to overheating
of mower. This could cause a fire
that results in personal injury to
you or others.
The mower has a built-in extension
cord retainer.
This cord hitch prevents
accidental
disconnec-
tion of the power
cord
during
use. The cord
hitch
is mounted
onto the handle
below
the
control
panel.
1.
Plug the extension cord into the mower
connector (see Figure 18).
2.
Create a loop in the extension cord and
insert the loop through the bottom of the
cord retainer (see Figure 19).
3.
Pull the loop tight around the molded cord
hitch (see Figure 20).
Note: An optional
method of retaining
the
extension cord is shown in Figure 18. Use this
method with larger-gauge cords that may not
fit into the extension cord retainer.

Management
When mowing with an extension cord attached to
mower, start the first row closest to the electrical
outlet being used and mow away from outlet.
1.
Place most of the extension
cord close to
the electrical
outlet, out of the path of the
mower.
2.
Start in direction
where extension cord side
of mower
is closest
to the outlet.
Begin
mowing
in the area closest
to the outlet
and mow in a back and forth manner.
Note: Keep the cord on cut portion of lawn
and out of the path of the mower.
3.
Avoid
mowing
in circles
as cord will be
harder to manage.

from mower blade at all times.
CiRCUiT BREAKER
PROTECTION
This mower
is equipped
with a circuit breaker
located
on the top of mower
control
panel (see
Figure

provides
over-
current
protection
to the mower
motor should
the blade become jammed
by grass clogged
in
the output chute or other obstruction.
If the circuit breaker
should trip during use, the
white circuit breaker
button
will pop up out of
the control panel and the electric
motor and the
blade will stop rotating.
