Operating Instructions
1. Pre-Operation Checks
- Ensure batteries are fully charged and correctly installed.
- Check that the grass collection bag is properly attached.
- Verify that all fasteners are tight and the mower is in good working order.
- Clear the mowing area of any obstacles.
2. Starting the Mower
To start the mower, press and hold the safety button on the handle, then pull the bail lever towards the handlebar. The motor will start. Release the safety button once the motor is running.
3. Stopping the Mower
To stop the mower, simply release the bail lever. The motor will stop, and the blade will cease rotating.
4. Mowing Techniques
For best results, mow in straight, overlapping lines. Avoid overloading the mower by cutting excessively long or wet grass. If the grass is very long, it is advisable to make two passes, setting a higher cutting height for the first pass and then lowering it for the second.

5. Emptying the Grass Collection Bag
The grass collection bag has a level indicator. When the indicator is full, the bag needs to be emptied. Stop the mower, release the bail lever, and wait for the blade to stop completely. Carefully remove the grass bag and empty its contents. Reattach the bag securely before resuming operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lawn mower. Always disconnect the batteries before performing any maintenance.
1. Cleaning the Mower
- After each use, clean the cutting deck and the underside of the mower to remove grass clippings and debris. Use a brush or a damp cloth.
- Do not use high-pressure cleaners or running water directly on the mower.
- Clean the grass collection bag regularly.
2. Blade Care
Inspect the cutting blade regularly for wear, damage, or dullness. A sharp blade ensures a clean cut and healthy lawn. If the blade is dull or damaged, it should be sharpened or replaced by a qualified service technician. Always wear heavy-duty gloves when handling the blade.
3. Storage
Store the lawn mower in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The foldable handlebar allows for space-saving storage. Ensure batteries are removed before long-term storage.
