Stopping the Motor and Blade, When Finished Mowing

Stopping the Motor and Blade

Simply releasing the orange control bar stops the motor and blade.

Important: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is shut off.

When Finished Mowing

Remove the safety key when the Mower is unattended and the motor is shut off.

Remember to recharge the battery after each use, no mater how short a time it was used. See “Charging the Battery” on page 26 for details.

WARNING! The safety key with its built-in circuit breaker and the battery should never be inserted during adjustments or blade replacement. Removing the safety key will prevent accidental starting, and help avoid serious personal injury.

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 NEUTON Mower will do a better and safer job when cutting at a steady pace.

•Mowing dense grasses, such as St. Augustine 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 1 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 during 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.
