Operation

1. Adjusting Cutting Height

The mower features six different height adjustment settings. To change the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the mower deck. Move the lever to the desired position. For best results, avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time.

2. Starting the Mower

To start, press and hold the safety button, then pull the bail switch lever towards the handle. The motor will start. Release the safety button once the motor is running.

3. IntelliCut Technology

This mower is equipped with IntelliCut Technology, which automatically adjusts torque on-demand for tough grass. This ensures efficient power use and helps conserve battery life. No manual adjustment is needed for this feature.

4. Mulching vs. Bagging

The mower offers dual functionality for mulching or bagging. To mulch, ensure the mulch plug is inserted into the discharge chute. To bag, remove the mulch plug and attach the grass collection bag. The full-bag indicator will alert you when the bag needs emptying.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

After each use, disconnect the battery and clean the mower deck and blade area. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use water jets or immerse the mower in water.

2. Blade Care

Periodically inspect the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can affect cutting performance. If necessary, have the blade sharpened or replaced by a qualified service technician.

3. Battery Storage

Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, ensure batteries are partially charged (around 50%) to prolong their lifespan.

4. General Storage

Store the mower in a dry, protected area. The handle can be folded for compact storage. Ensure the mower is clean and free of debris before storing.
