Operating Your Mower or Trimmer Safely
Your Mower can operate as a Discharging, Mulching, or Bagger Mower. Learn how to use the Side Discharge Chute, Mulching Plug, and Rear Bagger as appropriate.
•ALWAYS STOP THE MOTOR, WAIT FOR THE BLADE OR CORD TO STOP MOVING, AND REMOVE THE SAFETY KEY WHENEVER YOU LEAVE THE OPERATING POSITION (BEHIND THE HANDLEBAR) FOR ANY REASON. IN ADDITION, REMOVE THE BATTERY WHEN INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE MACHINE, PERFORMING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, CLEARING GRASS, MAKING ADJUSTMENTS, AND ATTACHING OR REMOVING ACCESSORIES.
•NEVER 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 OR CORD ALWAYS TURNS WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. LEARN HOW TO QUICKLY STOP THE MACHINE’S MOTOR – SIMPLY RELEASE THE ORANGE CONTROL BAR. REMEMBER THAT THE BLADE OR CORD WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE FOR UP TO THREE (3) SECONDS AFTER YOU RELEASE THE ORANGE BAR.
•DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS OR FEET NEAR OR UNDER THE ROTATING BLADE OR CORD. KEEP CLEAR OF THE DISCHARGE AREA AT ALL TIMES.
•NEVER OPERATE THE MOWER OR TRIMMER IN THE RAIN OR WHEN THE GRASS IS WET. ALWAYS BE SURE OF YOUR FOOTING.
•KEEP A FIRM HOLD ON THE HANDLEBAR, AND WALK – NEVER RUN.
•STAY ALERT AND WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
•WATCH OUT FOR TRAFFIC WHEN MOWING OR TRIMMING NEAR ROADWAYS.
•STOP THE MOTOR WHEN CROSSING OVER LOOSE MATERIALS SUCH AS GRAVEL DRIVES, WALKS, OR ROADS, AS OBJECTS DISCHARGED BY THE MOWER OR TRIMMER CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICATION, DRUGS, OR ALCOHOL.
•REMOVE THE SAFETY KEY WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN USE.
•KEEP THE BLADE CUTTING EDGES SHARP AND CLEAN FOR THE BEST AND SAFEST PERFORMANCE. KEEP ALL NUTS, BOLTS, AND SCREWS TIGHT TO BE SURE THE MOWER IS IN SAFE OPERATING CONDITION. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL FOR CHANGING ACCESSORIES.
•NEVER PULL THE MOWER OR TRIMMER TOWARD YOU WHILE CUTTING GRASS. BY DESIGN, YOU SHOULD ONLY PUSH THE NEUTON MOWER OR TRIMMER FORWARD WHILE CUTTING.
•USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN MANEUVERING BACKWARDS. ALWAYS STOP THE MOTOR, LOOK FIRST TO CHECK YOUR FOOTING, LOOK DOWN AND BEHIND YOU BEFORE MOVING BACKWARDS.
•IF YOU STRIKE A FOREIGN OBJECT, OR IF THE MOWER OR TRIMMER VIBRATES ABNORMALLY, STOP THE MOTOR, REMOVE THE SAFETY KEY, AND INSPECT THE MACHINE FOR ANY DAMAGE. REPAIR THE DAMAGE BEFORE RESTARTING AND OPERATING THE MACHINE. STRIKING AN OBJECT MAY LOOSEN THE BLADE. NOTE: Excessive vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
•DO NOT USE YOUR NEUTON MOWER OR TRIMMER FOR ANY JOB OTHER THAN THE INTENDED USE.
•ONLY USE THE TRIMMER FOR TRIMMING GRASS, WEEDS, AND OTHER VEGETATION.
•DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE IF IT DOES NOT START NORMALLY OR STOP NORMALLY WHEN YOU RELEASE THE CONTROL BAR.
•EMPTY THE REAR BAGGER OF ALL DEBRIS FOLLOWING EACH USE. THE FABRIC WILL WEAR AND DETERIORATE UNDER NORMAL USAGE. BEFORE EACH USE, CHECK THE BAGGER FOR WEAR AND REPLACE IF IT IS TORN, OR WORN.
