your mower is double insulated. This means

you are separated from the electrical system

of the charger by two complete sets of

electrical insulation, This extra layer of

insulation is inteeded to protect the user from

electrical shock due to a break in the wiring

insulation. All exposed metal parts are

isolated from live internal metal components

with protecting insulation. Double insulated

chargers do not need to be grounded,

Servicing of a charger with double insulatian

requires extreme care and knowledge of the

system and should be performed only by a

qualified service technician.

• Before charging battery, read all instructions

and cautionary ma_ngs in this manual and

on your mower.

oDo not expose mower to rain or snow.

o To reduce risk of damage to charger plug,

pull cord by the cord plug rather than cord

outlet.

° Make sure cord is located so that itwill not be

stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise

subjected to damage or stress.

received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a

qualified serviceman.

standard safety glasses.

• an operator presence control barwhich

requires the operator to be positioned

behind the lawn mower handle to start and

operate the lawn mower.

ments, Medium position is best for most

TO INSTALL ATTACHMENTS

Your lawn mower was shipped ready to be

used as a mulchero To convert to bagging

or discharging:

o Open rear door and remove mulcher

plate. Store mulcher plate in a safe

place.

o You can now install catcher' or optional

clipping deflector.

, To return to mulching operation, install

mulcher plate into discharge opening of

mower.

CAUTION: Do not run your lawn mower

without mulcher plate in place or approved

clipping deflector or grass catcher in place..

Never attempt to operate the lawn mower

with the rear door removed or propped

open.

Mulcher

BEFORE STARTING MOTOR

= Mower will not run with battery charger

plugged in.

=Unplug charger from outlet, then remove

charger from motor.

• Close charging port door..

TO START MOWER

o Insert fuse.

° Hold operator presence control bar

down to the handle and press switch

button to start mower.

= To STOP motor, release operator

presence control bar.

MOWING TIPS

o Under certain conditions, such as very

tall grass, it may be necessary to raise

the height of cut to reduce pushing effort

and to keep from overloading the engine

and leaving clumps of grass clipping& It

may also be necessary to reduce

ground speed and/or run the lawn

mower over the area a second time.

,, For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the

width of cut by overlapping previously

cut path and mow slowly.

o When using a rear discharge lawn

mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of

cut grass may not enter the grass

catcher. Reduce ground speed (push-

ing speed) and/or run the lawn mower

over the area a second time..

o tf a trail of clippings is left on the right

side of a rear discharge mower, mow in

a clockwise direction with a small

overlap to collect the clippings on the

next pass.

= Pores in cloth grass catchers can

become filled with dirt and dust with use

and catchers will collect less grass.. To

prevent this, regularly hose catcher off

with water and let dry before using.

°Keep top of engine around starter clear

and clean of grass clippings and chaff.

This will help engine air flow and extend

engine life.

Max 1/3

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep

mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. See CLEANING in Maintenance

section of this manual.

o The special mulching blade will recut the

grass clippings many times and reduce

them in size so that as they fall onto the

lawn they will disperse into the grass

and not be noticed. Also, the mulched

grass will biodegrade quickly to provide

nutrients for the lawn.

o Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.

Wet grass tends to form clumps and

interferes with the mulching action.. The

best time to mow your lawn is the early

afternoon. At this time the grass has

dried and the newly cut area will not be

exposed to the direct sun.

o For best results, adjust the lawn mower

cutting height so that the lawn mower

cuts off only the top one-third of the

grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it

will be necessary to raise the height of

cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep

from overloading the motor and leaving

clumps of mulched grass. For extremely

heavy mulching, reduce your width of

cut, mow slowly and raise the rear of the

lawn mower one wheel adjuster setting

higher than the front.

• Certain types of grass and grass

conditions may require that an area be

mulched a second time to completely

hide the clippings. When doing a second

cut, mow across or perpendicular to the

first cut path.

= Change your cutting pattern from week

to week. Mow north to south one week

then change to east to west the next

week_ This will help prevent matting and

graining of the lawn.
