PROBLEM
The electric lawn tractor fails to
start the blades when the PTO
switch is activated.
PTO Switch icon blinks
The blades stop rotating during
grass cutting.
The audio indicator continues
sounding.
CAUSE
◾
The combined Ah of the inserted
batteries does not meet the
requirement.
◾
The PTO switch was not pushed down
when the tractor was turned off last time.
◾
The tractor is overloaded at the moment
the blades are starting to rotate,
triggering the blade motors self-
protection.
◾
Under extreme cold weather, the blade
motor may not start successfully due
to the low temperature protection.
◾
The blade interferes with the deformed
tractor deck
◾
The grass bagger is not installed
properly.
◾
The tractor is overloaded.
◾
The deck is clogged with grass and
debris.
◾
The tractor is overheated.
◾
The battery pack(s) in the tractor's
battery compartment is overheated,
resulting in combined Ah rating of
all inserted batteries to not meet the
requirement
◾
The tractor is in Limp-Home mode.
◾
The tractor is hit by a foreign object,
resulting in motor self-protection.
◾
The tractor moves in reverse with
the MOWING IN REVERSE OFF icon
illuminated on the LCD screen.
◾
The tractor is in Limp-home mode and
the blades are not turned off.
◾
The tractor stops driving on a slope
and the operator is off the seat without
setting the parking-brake pedal at the
parking-brake position.
SOLUTION
◾
In order to start this tractor, use enough EGO batteries
following the instructions in section "ATTACHING/
DETACHING THE BATTERY PACK" in this manual.
◾
Push the PTO switch down and then up to restart the
blade motors.
◾
Start the grass cutting in lower blade speed first and
do not accelerate the blade speed until the blades are
rotating successfully.
◾
Always store the tractor and batteries in warm
environment. Restart the tractor when it is warmed up.
Please do not make repeated attempts under extreme
cold weather which may damage the machine.
◾
Contact EGO Customer Service Center for repair.
◾
Install the grass bagger properly following the section
"INSTALLING THE GRASS BAGGER" in the manual.
◾
Raise the deck cutting height or slow down the driving
speed to reduce the load of the tractor.
◾
Clean the deck and make certain that the blades have
freedom of movement.
◾
Reduce the load of the tractor, by raising the deck cutting
height or slowing down the blade/driving speed and allow
the tractor to cool.
1. The tractor can continue working if the combined
battery Ah rating, overheated battery excluded, meets
the requirement. Once the overheated battery returns to
normal temperature, it will join in powering the tractor
immediately.
2. If the combined battery Ah rating does not meet the
requirement, the tractor will not work until more battery
packs are inserted into the vacant battery compartments.
3. Reduce the load of the tractor by raising the deck cutting
height or slowing down the driving speed when resuming
operation.
◾
When the tractor is in Limp-Home mode, the blades
are automatically switched into low rotation speed. The
operator should stop working and drive to the battery
charging area as soon as possible.
◾
Push the PTO switch down and then up to restart the
blade motors.
◾
Press the PTO switch down and restart the blade motors
following the instructions in the section "To Active
(Enter) MOWING IN REVERSE".
◾
Push the PTO switch down to turn off the blade motors.
The audio indicator will stop sounding when the blade
motors are turned off.
◾
Set the parking-brake pedal in the parking-brake position
before leaving the tractor on the slope.
