INSTALL BATTERY PACK(Fig. 9)
1. Make sure the operator presence control bar is released.
2. The battery bay is located on the top handle of the lawn mower. Slide in the battery pack until it locks
with an audible "click". Verify it is securely installed.
3. To check the battery charge level, first remove it from the battery bay by pressing the release button.
When pressing the indicate button, the display will show the current charge level. Three lights, battery
power above 78 %, up to 150 start cycles; one light, power above 10%, up to 5 start cycles. If the light
is flashing, power lower than 10%, possibly insufficient for a single start cycle.
IMPORTANT: THE ENGINE WILL NOT RECHARGE YOUR BATTERY. The battery will need to be recharged
periodically.
CAUTION: ALWAYS disconnect the battery pack to prevent accidental starting when transporting
or storing your lawn mower after the season.
At the end of the mowing season, the battery should be charged fully to protect the battery during winter
storage.
ADD OIL(Fig. 10)
IMPORTANT: Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fill to "Full" line on dipstick.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
3. Use the recommended engine oil.
4. Pour oil slowly. DO NOT overfill. Wait one minute to allow oil to settle. Insert and tighten dipstick, then
remove it to check oil level.
5. Before using for the first time, add maximum 15.9 Ounces of oil (SAE 30).
ADD GASOLINE
Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. DO NOT overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane.
DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. DO NOT store, spill or use gasoline near an open flame.
Alcohol-blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Empty
the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. NEVER use engine or carburetor cleaner products or permanent damage may occur.
