Safety Information
WARNING: Read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this product. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
- Never leave a running mower unattended. Always turn off the mower and remove the battery pack before performing any maintenance, adjustments, or when clearing a clogged discharge chute.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including eye protection, hearing protection, long pants, and sturdy footwear, when operating the mower.
- Keep hands and feet away from rotating blades. Ensure the area is clear of other people and pets before starting.
- Operate the mower only in daylight or good artificial light.
- Avoid operating the mower on excessively steep slopes. The mower is designed to handle slopes up to 15 degrees with adaptive traction control. Exercise extreme caution on slopes.
- Do not operate the mower in wet grass, as this can reduce traction and increase the risk of slipping.
- Inspect the area to be mowed and remove all objects that can be thrown by the blades, such as rocks, toys, or wires.
Setup
Uncrating and Assembly
Your riding lawn mower arrives securely packaged in a metal crate. Carefully follow the assembly instructions provided in the separate assembly guide. Tools and small parts for assembly are typically located in the storage compartment behind the seat. It is recommended to have assistance when uncrating and moving the mower from its packaging.
Battery Charging
Before initial use, ensure all (4) 8.0Ah batteries are fully charged using the included Turbo Wall Charger. Connect the charger to a standard power outlet and insert the batteries. The charger will indicate when charging is complete. A full charge typically takes 2.5 hours.
Operating Instructions
Starting the Mower
- Ensure all batteries are fully inserted into their compartments.
- Sit firmly in the operator's seat. The mower is equipped with a safety switch under the seat that must be engaged for operation.
- Turn the key to the 'ON' position.
- Engage the blade switch (if applicable) and select your desired speed.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The mower features a 7-position cutting height adjustment lever. This single lever allows you to easily set the cutting height between 1.5 inches and 4.5 inches to suit your lawn's needs and grass conditions.
Cutting Speed and SmartCut Technology
The mower can achieve cutting speeds up to 6 MPH. Its innovative SmartCut Technology automatically adapts to grass conditions, providing consistent blade tip speed for an optimal cut, even in dense grass.
Slope Handling
The mower is designed to handle slopes up to 15 degrees. Adaptive traction control helps maintain a straight path and prevents sliding on hills. Always exercise caution and reduce speed when operating on slopes.
Towing Capability
A rear hitch is integrated, allowing the mower to tow up to 200 lbs. This feature is useful for hauling trailers or pull-behind attachments. Ensure the towed load does not exceed the specified weight limit.
On-board USB Charging Ports
For added convenience, the mower includes on-board USB-A and USB-C charging ports, as well as cup holders. These allow you to charge personal devices while operating the mower.

Maintenance
Deck Wash Port
The 30-inch heavy-duty stamped steel deck includes an integrated deck wash port. To clean the underside of the deck, connect a garden hose to the port, start the mower, and engage the blades for a few minutes. This helps remove grass clippings and maintain cutting efficiency.
Battery Care and Storage
- Always store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Do not store batteries in a discharged state. Recharge them periodically if not in use for extended periods.
- Use only Greenworks approved chargers for your 60V batteries.

Regularly inspect the mower blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can lead to an uneven cut and strain the motor. Replace blades as needed, following the instructions in the detailed service manual or consulting a qualified service technician.
