OPERATION
NOTICE:
When the level of battery charge reaches the red zone on
the battery charge indicator, the blades will automatically
shut off. Return immediately to recharge. Continuing to
mow when the battery charge level is in the red zone
can cause the mower to become stranded away from
the charging area.
NOTE: If the mower becomes stranded away from the
charger, it will be necessary to place the direction control
switch in neutral (N) and push the mower back to the
charging location.

tion and control.
