CAUTION
Use only an approved Rem- ington brand replacement
battery.
The battery in your mower is a 60 volt sealed lead acid system. There is no liquid contained within the battery. The mower can therefore be stored in any position without fear of leakage.
Specific Characteristics
* For optimal performance_ the battery
should be kept on constant charge when not in use.
* For best results_ battery should be
charged in a cool, dry location.
* The battery does not need to be fully
discharged before recharging.
* Two or three initial charging cycles may
be required after purchase to achieve maximum run time capacity.
* The battery can be safely stored down
to 32°F (0°C).
* The battery is maintenance free.

Service and Installation
Your Remington brand hybrid mower is shipped with the battery system fully assembled and ready for use. When service or repair is required, it is recommended that you take your mower to a qualified service center.
When inserting the battery into this product, the proper polarity or direction must be observed.
Reverse insertion of the battery can result in leakage or explosion.
DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if they are severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
WARNING
Do not use charger outdoors or in wet or damp locations.
1. Plug charger directly into an electrical outlet. DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never
carry optional charger by cord. Do not disconnect the charger from the outlet or
mower by pulling it by the cord.
2. Do not service mower with charger or safety key installed.
3. Do not use a damaged charger. Replace damaged cords or charger immediately.
4. When charging the battery:
Always charge it in adry area protected
from the weather.
Do not expose it or charger to rain.
Do not charge it in wet locations.
Do not charge it when surrounding
temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or. above 104°F (40°C)
5. Keep the mower and charger away from water_ heat sources (such as radiators, heaters, stoves_ etc.), flames_ or chemicals. Keep cord away from sharp edges.
6. DO NOT open or mutilate the battery. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It maybe
toxic if swallowed.
WARNING
Do not store or carry battery so
that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery
in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose naris, screws, keys, jewelry. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
IMPORANT: You must charge
your battery before using your
mower for the first time and in=
between every use. Failure to fully charge the battery before the first use may cuase the
battery's charging capacity to
be decreased.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or open
the battery.
Before using mower for the first time, and whenever battery becomes drained, fully charge
battery for approximately l 0 hours. If the bat- tery is not charged completely before using
the mower, the battery's charging capacity may decrease.
Note: The mower has anon-board battery char- ger. If the mower is plugged in, the battery can becharged by selecting "charge" with the power select knob. If the optional separate charger is purchased, the battery may be charged when it
is removed from the mower.
Note: The length of time that a battery can hold its charge while mowing depends upon lawn conditions; tall or thick grass makes the mower work harder causing the battery to discharge faster.
The Remington brand mower comes with a sealed, lead acid battery installed at the factory. The battery is rated for 60 volt s and 5 amp-hours. The battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which the mower is stored.
The battery is completely maintenance-fl'ee. You never need to add water. However, as with all
rechargeable batteries, after years of use they will eventually need replacement. With proper care, this battery should last up to 5 years. Note: As the battery ages, it may take longer to fully charge (up to 24 hours). A good time to consider purchasing a replacement battery is when the battery takes longer to charge than
when it was new. IMPORTANT." It may take up to 5 charging and
discharging cycles before your battery provides maximmn life.
i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_!iiii
7 www.remingtonpowertools.com
A battery charge indicator is located on the control panel. The flashing LED indicates the
battery is charging. A continuous LED indicates the battery is fully charged.
A battery may last much longer if it is charged as soon as it starts to loose power and is not discharged completely.
Charging the Battery whi{e in the
Mower
l. Make sure all fbur wheels of mower are
touching the ground.
2. Remove key.
3. Plug the mower into a wall outlet.
4. Select charge on the control panel. A full charge takes at least l0 hours, and up
to 24 hours (for aging batteries). For the first five hours, the optional second charger will be
warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
iMPORTANT: Always keep the battery in a dry p{ace.
WARNING
Always usethe Remington brand
charger to charge the battery. Never attempt to use any other charger. Use of a different char- ger may cause a fire or e×plosion and will void the warranty.
You can lengthen the life of your battery by following some simple guidelines.
* Always charge the battery indoors in
a garage or other covered area where it will be dry and protected from the
weather.
* Only charge the battery when the tem-
perature is at least 32°F (0°C) - above freezing - but not more than +104°F (+40°C). Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the bat- tery.
* Always keep the battery away from
water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flames, etc.), and hazardous
chemicals.
* Never use the charger with any other
product. Never operate the charger if it is damaged. If a cord or the charger unit has been damaged, replace the charger or have it repaired by a qualified service
center.
* Do not worry about leaving the battery
charging for longer than l 0 hours - the battery cannot be overcharged and will not be damaged after l0 hours. It will not impact the battery to leave it on the charger for up to six months.
Always fully recharge the battery immediately after each use, no matter how short atime it was
used. Fully recharge even ifthe green LED lights on the battery power indicator are still green. This is important inorder to maintain m aximuln mower performance and extend the useful lifeof the battery. |fthe red LED comes on while using the mower, stop the mower and either replace the battery with an optional backup battery or recharge the battery completely.
Unlike "smart batteries" found in devices such as cell phones, the Remington brand bat-
tery should NOT be run until it is completely drained. Running the battery until it is fully depleted will reduce the long-term performance of the battery.
Leaving the battery on the charger for an extended period of time (up to six months) will not damage the battery. It is impossible to overcharge the battery.
IMPORTANT:If a depleted battery is stored, the battery's charging capacity will decrease.

, WARNING
To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
Use proper extension cord with this mower. Use only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider than the other), UL listed extension cord marked for
outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix W or W-A following the cord type designation.
Example:SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper sized cord with this mower. Cord must be heavy enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will cause voltage drop at mower. The mower will lose power and overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed
below.
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord does not catch on branches during cutting.
Inspect cord often. Replace damaged cords.
1. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have three-prong grounding- type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the mower's plug.
2. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Cord insulation must be intact
with no cracks or deterioration. Plug con- nectors must be undamaged. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your mower
will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size
extension cord to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnec- tion of mower fl'om the extension cord dur-
ing operation, use the cord hitch described in this manual.
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as
a properly grounded outlet box.

This mower is equipped with a circuit breaker located on the top of mower control panel (see Figure 22). The circuit breaker provides over- current protection to the mower motor should the blade become jammed by grass clogged in the output chute or other obstruction.
If the circuit breaker should trip during use, the white circuit breaker button will pop up out of the control panel and the electric motor and the blade will stop rotating.
3.
This mower should be grounded while in use to reduce the risk of injury to the
operator from electric shock. The mower is equipped with an approved three-conduc-
tor cord and three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type re-
ceptacle. The green or green and yellow conductor in the cord is the grounding
wire. Never connect the green or green and yellow wire to a live terminal. See Figure
17 for plug configuration.

MOWING AND LAWN CARE TiPS
* For best results, mow at a steady pace. If you
try to walk too quickly, especially in tall or thick grass, the quality of the cut may not be uniform. To avoid damage and extend battery life, always mow at a pace which allows the motor to run smoothly.
* The length of time that the mower's battery
can hold its charge while mowing a lawn depends upon lawn conditions; tall, thick, or damp grass make the mower work harder, causing the battery to discharge faster. Under normal mowing conditions the run
time is between 45 and 60 minutes. To mow longer, consider purchasing a second battery
and keep it fully charged.
* Before starting the mower, adjust the cutting
height so that you only cut 1 to 2 inches of grass at a time. Cut thicker grass at a higher cutting height, or cut a narrower swath. Do not force the mower forward in thick grass; rather cut it with a couple of passes. Your Remington brand mower will do a better and safer job when cutting at a steady pace.
* Mowing dense grasses, such as St. Augus-
tine or Bermuda grass, requires more power to cut properly. For these grasses it may be necessary to move more slowly to ensure a quality cut.
* Mow as often as needed so that you are only
cutting I to 2 inches of grass each mowing session. Trying to cut more than 2 inches will drastically reduce the charge life of the battery and quality of the cut.
* For the healthiest lawn, avoid removing
more than one third of the leaf blade dur- ing any one mowing session. When more
than one third of the leaf blade is removed, the grass plant produces less food for itself
and therefore becomes weaker and more susceptible to disease and insect damage.
* Frequent stopping and restarting of the
mower will use additional battery energy. Try to work continuously and smoothly when mowing.
* Keep your mower blade sharp. A sharp
mower blade cuts the grass quickly and cleanly, using less of the mower's power, which conserves battery life. For best results, inspect the blade often and have an extra, sharp blade ready to install as a replacement while the dull blade is being sharpened.
* Mow across slopes; never up and down.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING BLADE
Always remove the safety key and battery before performing any adjustments, maintenance, blade change, or repairs to your
mower,
WARNING
Disconnect mower from power supply before clean-
ing or servicing. Severe injury or death could occur from fire, electrical shock, or body con- tact with moving cutter blades.
LUBRiCATiNG MOWER
Your Remington brand mower does not need to be lubricated. Please do not lubricate the
1Ylower.
BALANCING MOWER BLADE
WARNING
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from the sharp edges
ofthe blade. Wear safety g lasses to protect your eyes while sharp- ening blade.
An out-of-balance blade causes the mower to vibrate excessively. Excessive vibration may
cause damage to the mower, especially the motor and electrical connections.
Because you are removing metal from the blade when sharpening, make sure to remove an equal amount from each side to keep the blade balanced. The best way to balance a blade is with a blade balancer (available at most local hardware stores), or with a large screwdriver,
nail, or bolt. Tools Needed:
Heavy work gloves
Blade balancer, or a large screwdriver, nail, or bolt
1. After sharpening the blade, hang it on the balancer and check the level.
If one side of the blade tips lower, sharpen that side a little at a time until the blade is
balanced.
2. When sharpening a used blade, be espe- cially careful to keep it balanced. If in doubt, replace the blade with a new one.
Note: Blade sharpening services are also avail- able. Contact a local mower service center or
check the local yellow pages.
REMOVING AND ATTACHING MOWER
WARNING
Disconnect mower from
power supply before clean- ing or servicing. Severe
injury or death could occur from
fire, electrical shock, or body con-
tact with moving cutter blades.
WARNING
Always unplug mower and re-
move safety key before placing hands near the blade. Always wear gloves to protect your
hands from the sharp edges of the blade.
Tools Needed:
314" socket o1" adjustable wrench
2" x 4" piece of wood (about 2 feet long)
Heavy work gloves
1. Remove safety key, battery, and power cord (if applicable).
2. Turn mower upside down.
3. Wedge a 2" x 4" piece of wood under the blade and over the edge of the mower housing (see Figure 29).
4. Using 3/4" socket or adjustable wrench, turn the blade nut counterclockwise to
remove.
5. Remove blade nut, washer, and blade (see Figure 30). Note: The blade adapter might come off with the blade. It is not part of the blade and needs to placed on the motor shaft before reinstalling blade.
6. To replace a sharpened blade or to install a new blade, verif}¢ the blade adapter is on
the motor shaft.
7. Place blade on motor shaft. IMPORTANT: Verif}¢ hole in center of blade is aligned
correctly with blade adapter.
8. Place the washer onto the motor shaft.
9. With the 2" x 4" piece of wood in place, install blade nut and tighten securely. (Torque 40 Ft-Lbs - 480 in-lbs)
10. Turn the mower upright.
Figure 29 - Wedging
the Wood
Figure 30 - Remove Blade
SHARPENING MOWER BLADE
When the blade is dull, the cut ends of the grass will be ragged and may turn brown soon after
mowing. A dull blade also causes the battery to discharge more quickly. When this occurs,
sharpen the blade (as long as the blade is oth- erwise in good condition).
Tools Needed:
Fine-toothed file
Heavy work gloves
Safety glasses
1. Remove blade fi'om mower (see Removing
and Attaehblg Mower Blade).
2. Secure blade in a vise.
3. While wearing safety glasses, carefully file the cutting edges of the blade using
even strokes. Be sure to file both sides of the blade equally.
4. Check the balance of the blade after sharp- ening (see Balam itzg Mower Blade).
CLEANING MOWER
Periodically clean your mower to ensure peak perfbrmance. Note: Remember, this is an elec-
tric mower.
WARNING
When cleaning mower:
Do not submerse mower in any liquids
Do not use products that contain Ammonia, Chlorine,
or abrasives
Do not use chlorinated clean= ing solvents, Carbon Tetra=
chloride, Kerosene, or Gaso- line.
Supplies Needed:
Clean, damp cloth or sponge
Mild soap or detergent (ifneeded)
Soft nylon brush (if needed)
1. Remove safety key, battery, and power cord (if applicable).
2. Using a damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap or detergent, clean the mower.
3. Use a soft nylon brush of non-metallic scrubbing pad to remove any clippings
that have accumulated on the underside of the deck and in the rear discharge area.
Do not use a wire brush; it will scratch and harm the surface of the mower.
4. Water may be used to clean the rear bag- ger, but not the mower itself. For proper grass collection, make sure the grass bag is clean and the mesh holes are not clogged. Allow the rear bagger to dry thoroughly before using it again.
Note: A wet rear bagger will clog quickly and hamper grass collection.
