OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10 Variable-Speed Self-Propel System
The mower is equipped with variable-speed self-
propel capability. This system is independent of the
blade On-Off switch; it is not dependent on blade
rotation. For example, when you have completed
cutting your lawn, you can use the self-propel
function to propel the mower back to your storage
location with no blade rotation. Or you may choose
to operate the mower as a non-self-propelled
mower to maximize battery run time.
To operate the self-propel system without blade
rotation, push the self-propel trigger (D) to the
handle.
To turn the self-propel function off, release the
self-propel trigger.
The system has variable speed. To increase the speed, move the self-propel-speed-control
lever (O) forwards. To decrease the speed, move the self-propel speed-control lever
backwards.
To operate with the blade rotating for cutting:
a. Depress the safety button (D).
b. With the safety button depressed, pull the bail switch (A) upward to the handle and release
the safety button.
c. Hold the bail switch against the handle with your left hand. Push the self-propel trigger (C)
to the handle with your right hand.
d. With your right hand, hold both the bail switch and the self-propel trigger against the
handle and use your left hand to adjust the self-propel speed-control lever (O) to choose
the desired speed.
When it is necessary to mow around an object, it may be easier to mow with the self-propel
system turned off.
NOTICE: When you turn off the self-propel system, for example, at the end of a row, it may
become temporarily locked if you pull backwards on the mower. Simply push ahead slightly
and then move the mower as required.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of injury, never attempt to override the operation of the switch or self-
propel system. Use the self-propel system for its intended purpose only.
