Soft-Start

This battery powered mower is equipped with a “soft-start” feature. When initially starting up, the

mower will take approx. 3 seconds to get up to full speed. If the mower does not initially start:

Remove the battery and check under the mower deck to ensure there is nothing obstructing the

blade and that the blade can spin freely by hand. Even a small amount of grass blocking the mower

blade will prevent the mower blade from accelerating and engaging.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to override the operation of the safety lock-out button or bail lever.

WARNING

The operation of any mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can

cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses while operating the mower and while

performing any adjustments or repairs.

INSPECT THE CUTTING AREA. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, bones, and other debris that

might be thrown by the rotating blades.
