User Safety
The symbols below may appear in this manual and on your mower. Learn and understand their meaning.
I. GENERAL OPERATION
Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before starting. Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the machine before starting.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
Only allow responsible individuals, who are familiar with the instructions, to operate the machine.
Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, bones, sticks, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blade.
Be sure the area is clear of other people before mowing. Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
Do not operate the mower when barefoot or wearing open sandals. Always wear substantial foot wear.
Do not pull mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. Always look down and behind before and while moving
backwards.
Never direct discharged material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction. Material may
ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade when crossing gravel surfaces.
Do not operate the mower without proper guards or other safety protective devices in place.
See manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and installation of accessories. Only use accessories approved by
the manufacturer.
Stop the engine (motor) when crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads.
Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the equipment, before cleaning the mower or unclogging the chute.
Disengage key before cleaning.
Shut the engine (motor) off and wait until the blade comes to complete stop before removing grass catcher.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Do not operate the machine while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Never operate machine in wet grass. Always be sure of your footing: keep a firm hold on the handle and walk; never run.
Disengage the self-propelled mechanism on mowers so equipped before starting the engine (motor).
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating mower.
II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
Mow across the face of slopes: never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
Do not trim near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The operator could lose footing or balance.
Do not cut excessively steep slopes.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause slipping.
III. CHILDREN
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and
the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the trimming area and under the watchful care of another responsible adult.
Remove and store the key out of the reach of children when not in use.
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
2
Before and while walking backwards, look behind and down for small children. Use extra care when approaching blind
corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
The mower is not a toy. It can be very dangerous; small children should not use this mower. Only responsible adults who

OPERATION
Before Mowing
Charge batteries to capacity. (Charge for 24 hours prior to first use).
Adjust the wheels to the desired cut height.
Install the grass-catching bag if necessary.
Install mulch adapter as needed (RWD Model Only).
Move mower to a level surface near cut area before starting.
Starting the Mower
1. INSERT Batteries
Place the two batteries into the mower battery tray. Note: After 10 seconds the mower will start to beep
continuously. This is to let you know that the batteries are connected and the mower is ready to use. The beeping
will stop when the mower is engaged or the batteries or key are removed.
2. INSERT Safety Key
The key should be inserted into the mower in the ignition slot between the two batteries.
3. CLOSE Battery Cover
4. PULL Green ‘Run’ Bailer bar
This handle should be pulled towards you and held. The green ‘Run’ handle bar is located on the inner side of the
handle. This handle bar must be held down to send power to the mower. Note: The blade will not turn yet.
5. PRESS and RELEASE the Green ‘Start’ switch
While still holding the green ‘Run’ handle bar, press and release the ‘Start’ switch on the left side of the handle
bars. The blade will start turning.
6. PRESS the Black ‘Drive’ Handle bar (Self-Propelled Models Only)
To engage the self-propelled drive, press the black ‘Drive’ handle bar towards the handle; the powered wheels will
start to drive.
Caution: The mower is equipped with a variable speed mechanism. Make sure the area around the mower is
clear before using the drive. Do not hold this handle down and try to pull the mower backward. The mower will only
move backwards when the black ‘Drive’ handle bar is released.
General Lawn Cutting Tips
WHETHER USING A GAS OR ELECTRIC MOWER, RUN TIMES AND LAWN AREA CUT ON ONE FILL/CHARGE
ARE AFFECTED BY:
CUTTING HEIGHT: 3 inches is the optimal grass length to promote a healthy lawn and is better for the
environment (Less watering, better root structure, etc.). Grass cut too low can result in significantly less
tolerance to insects, drought and disease.
The AREA OF CUT depends on lawn conditions, grass density, moisture content, grass length and height of
cut. Bagging, side discharge or mulching will also have different effects on run times.
THE BLADE WILL OPERATE AS LONG AS THE GREEN ‘RUN’ HANDLE BAR IS HELD.
TO STOP THE MOWER, JUST RELEASE THE GREEN ‘RUN’ HANDLE BAR.
5
FREQUENT CUTTING improves the quality of your lawn and helps reduce the amount of power (gas or
electricity) required per cut.
EXTRA RUN TIME: Extra batteries for cordless electric mowers can be purchased to extend run time; just as
more gas can be purchased for gas mowers.
BATTERY CARE: The batteries perform best on a full charge; partially charged or improperly stored batteries
will reduce cutting time.
Cutting Long, Heavy or Wet Grass
Long, heavy wet grass can slow the motor down and clog the deck.
Cutting grass that is too long can damage the mower. If the grass is too long set the wheels to a higher cut
setting and cut the area, then lower the wheels and cut it again.
If the grass is wet do not cut; wait until the grass is dryer.
Cutting heavy grass and weeds will use more power and decrease the run time per charge. This will require
that you cut more often or purchase an extra set of batteries.
Battery Handling
The batteries are sealed Lead Acid batteries. Never try to open or remove any part of the battery as serious
injury or damage could occur. Be careful not to drop the batteries. If the battery is dropped, cracked or damaged do
not use it! Call Linamar Consumer Products Limited to order replacement batteries.
Battery Storage
Batteries should not be stored in temperatures below 32º F or 0º C and should be stored fully charged. If you
have more than one set of batteries we recommend switching the batteries on the charger once a month.
Never leave a discharged battery off the charger for any period of time.
Always keep batteries in sets. If a second set of batteries is used always keep them together. Mixing pairs of
batteries may reduce performance and run time.
Battery Recycling
Please recycle used batteries!
Batteries contain harmful chemicals which will damage the environment if they are not properly disposed of; dispose
of batteries in accordance with local hazardous material laws.
Contact your local waste management office or visit this website for a battery recycling depot near you:
http://earth911.com
Never throw out used batteries in household trash. Never dispose of batteries in a fire as they can explode.
Environmental Benefits
A lead-acid battery gains its environmental edge from its closed-loop life cycle. The typical new lead-acid battery
contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic. When a spent battery is collected, it is sent to a permitted recycler
where, under strict environmental regulations, the lead and plastic are reclaimed and sent to battery manufacturer.
The recycling cycle goes on indefinitely. That means the lead and plastic in the lead-acid batteries in your lawnmower
have been - and will continue to be -- recycled many, many times. This makes lead-acid battery disposal extremely
successful from both environmental and cost perspectives.
For more information about Sealed Lead Acid batteries visit this website; www.batterycouncil.org
