EGO Connect App and Firmware
Unlike the gas-powered tractors, your EGO electric lawn tractor uses a state-of-the-art on-board computer to monitor
every element of the machine and make sure that the tractor is running smoothly. EGO engineers periodically release
updates to tractor's Firmware – an operating system running the on-board computer. In a lot of cases the performance
of a certain element of the tractor can be improved by changing the code in the firmware without replacing the physical
parts or having to visit a service station.
To assure that your tractor is in top shape, install the EGO Connect app on your smartphone or tablet and periodically
check for available firmware updates. EGO Connect app can be downloaded for free from Apple App Store or Google Play.
For information on how to pair your tractor with your smartphone or tablet, please refer to chapter "USING EGO CONNECT
APP WITH YOUR TRACTOR".
Slope Assist
This feature helps the operator to safely start and drive the tractor on a slope.
◾
When the tractor stops driving on a slope, the accelerator pedal is released, and the operator is off the seat without
setting the parking-brake pedal at the parking-brake position. The tractor will automatically stop on the slope using
the battery charge to power the electric brake, meanwhile the audio indicator will emit intermittent beeps. The audio
indicator will no longer sound as soon as the parking-brake pedal is set in parking-brake position.
WARNING: Always set the parking-brake pedal at parking-brake position when the tractor stops driving on
a slope, otherwise, the tractor may slide down the slope, which may cause serious tractor damage or personal
injury!
◾
When restarting driving on a slope, disengage the parking-brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal
immediately. Otherwise, when the parking-brake pedal is released but the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the
tractor may slide down the slope and the audio indicator will not beep.
Limp-Home Mode
When battery charge becomes critically low, the tractor will go into Limp-Home mode to preserve enough power to travel
back to the charging area.
◾
The blades switch into low rotation speed, which could only cut very little amount of grass. Upon encountering tall
and dense grass, the blades will stop rotating. The audio indicator will sound (beep) intermittently.
◾
The tractor status indicator will flash red every second, both the alert icon (low-power) and the icon of each occupied
battery compartment will blink.
The operator should:
◾
Push the PTO switch downward to turn off the blade motors. The audio indicator will stop sounding when the blade
motors stop.
◾
Stop working and get to the charging area as soon as possible. The maximum distance the tractor can travel is
0.6 mile (0.96 km).
When the battery is nearly depleted, both the alert icon (low-power) and the icon of each occupied battery compartment
will blink every half a second. The tractor will stop working immediately. The operator will have to transport the tractor to
the charging area for charging.
NOTICE: If manual pushing is needed, be sure that the batteries are disconnected from the tractor and the parking-brake
pedal is released from the parking-brake position.
