WARNING
Do not at any time make any adjustments to the lawn mower without first stopping the motor and removing the safety key (19). Do not attach the collection bag (15) and the mulching plug (17) at the same time.
The mulching plug allows the grass clippings to be deposited back on the lawn during cutting. To install plug:
■Lift the safety flap (16) and detach the grass collection bag.
■Lift and hold the safety flap up with one hand.
■With other hand grasp plug by its upright handle and insert the plug into the rear discharge chute. Ensure that the locking latch snaps into place as shown in Fig. 13.
The mulching plug MUST be removed if collection bag is used. To remove plug:
■Lift and hold the safety flap up with one hand.
■With other hand squeeze the plug upright handle to release the locking latch. Pull the plug up and out of the discharge chute.
INSTALLING THE SIDE DISCHARGE CHUTE
See Figure 15, page iv
WARNING
Do not at any time make any adjustments to the lawn mower without first stopping the motor and removing the safety key (19).
The mower is designed to dispense clippings back to the lawn (mulching plate installed) or to gather clippings in the collection bag (mulching plate removed). However, you may choose to discharge the clippings to the side of the mower as you mow, which requires the installation of the side discharge chute and removal of the collection bag. Also, to improve side discharge, install the mulching plug.
To install the side discharge chute:
■Pull up and hold the side discharge door in fully raised position.
■Hook the slots in the tabs on the top of the chute onto the hinge bar on the underside of the discharge door.
■Lower the side discharge door. The tension of the hinge spring will keep the chute in place.

Charger Indicator Panel
■ Technical Issue: a flashing red LED light on the charger indicates that battery pack has a charging problem or might be defective.
-One possible condition is the battery temperature is not within the charging temperature range of 35.6°F - 109.4°F or the charging current is too high. As soon as the permitted temperature and the charging current ranges are reached, the battery charger will automatically switch to charging.
-If the temperature range and charging current are correct and flashing red LED light continues, then remove and reinstall the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a second time, try to charge another identical battery. If the battery charges normally, dispose of the defective battery pack (see Environmental Safe Battery Disposal section).
-If the flashing red light continues after installing the second battery, the charger may be defective. Replace with a new one.
■ After continuous or repeated charging cycles without interruption, the charger may warm up. This is normal and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charger.

OPERATION
MOWING
See Figure 23, page v
■Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades or motor.
Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■For a healthy plot of grass, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass blades.
■When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper mulching or discharge of the clippings.
■Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck (12) and prevent proper mulching or discharge of grass clippings.
■New or thick grass may require a narrower cutting swath.
■Clean the underside of the mower deck (12) after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines parallel to one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensure that all the lawn is cut without missing any spots (Fig.23).
AFTER USE
■Switch the product off, remove the battery pack (21) and let it cool down.
■Check, clean and store the mower as described in Storing The Mower in the Care And Maintenance section of this manual.
