Operating Your Mower

WARNING! ALWAYS stop the motor, wait for the blade to stop moving, and remove the safety key whenever you leave the operating position (behind the handlebars) for any reason. In addition, remove the battery when inspecting and cleaning the Mower, performing routine maintenance, clearing grass, making adjustments, repairing the Mower, and removing or attaching the rear bagger or other accessories.

•Your Mower can operate either as a discharging, mulching, or bagging mower. Learn how to use the proper cutting blade for the type of mowing you want to perform, and know how to use the rear discharge plate, rear bagger, and mulching plug as appropriate.

•Do not insert the safety key into the Mower until you are ready to operate the Mower. Store the safety key away from children and people not authorized to use the Mower.

•The cutting blade always turns when the motor is running. Learn how to quickly stop the Mower’s motor — simply release the orange control bar. Remember that the blade will continue to rotate for up to three seconds after the orange control bar has been released.

•Do not put your hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge area at all times.

•Never operate the Mower in the rain or when the grass is wet. Always be sure of your footing.

•Keep a firm hold on the handle, and walk — never run.

•Never cut grass by pulling the Mower towards you. The NEUTON Mower is designed to only be pushed forward while cutting.

•Use extreme caution when maneuvering backwards. Always look first to check your footing, look down and behind you before moving backwards.

•Stop the motor when crossing over loose materials such as gravel drives, walks, or roads, as objects discharged by the Mower can be hazardous.

•After striking a foreign object, or if the Mower vibrates abnormally, stop the motor and remove the safety key. Inspect the Mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the Mower.

Note: Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.

•Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

•Do not operate the Mower when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

•Remove the safety key when the Mower is not in use.
