
DANGER: MAKE CERTAIN THE SAFETY KEY IS
REMOVED TO PREVENT ACTUATION BEFORE
REMOVING OR INSTALLINGBATTERIES.
This mower is designed to operate on two battery packs of
equal capacity. The mower will not operate on a single battery
pack, and if using different capacity battery packs, the smaller
capacity battery pack, when depleted, will cause the unit to turn
off and the LED in front of the closed battery port cover to blink.
Unit will also turn off and the LED will blink if the battery packs
reach a high temperature limit, which can be caused by cutting
heavy grass. If this occurs, allow the battery packs to cool and
then resume cutting with the deck set higher.
NOTE: For best results, make sure the battery packs
23
are
fullycharged.
