STARTING THE TRACTOR (Fig. E15 – Fig. E16)
WARNING: Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns, as well as excessive
speed, especially when first learning to operate the tractor. The tractor can
spin rapidly, which may cause you to lose control and result in serious injury
and/or damage.
WARNING: Before starting the tractor, check and make sure
the blades are disengaged within 5s when pushing the PTO switch
downward. If the blades fail to stop, do not use the tractor and contact
your EGO customer service immediately.
NOTE:
◾
If the parking-brake pedal is set at the parking-brake position,
you need to only press the start/stop button for 3 seconds to
illuminate the LCD screen and then release the parking-brake
pedal before driving the tractor.
◾
The cutting blades can be started at any time once the LCD
screen is fully illuminated and the direction control lever is not
pulled backward in the "R" direction. To turn on the blades while
driving the tractor in reverse, refer to the section "TURNING
BLADES ON WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE" in this manual.
NOTICE: Follow Fig. E17 to get the lowest driving speed until you are
fully capable of operating the tractor in all situations.
The electric lawn tractor does not memorize the driving speed and
blade speed settings. The driving speed and blade speed will return to
level 2 every time the tractor is turned off.
Driving Speed Adjustment (Fig. E17)
Blade Speed Adjustment (Fig. E18)
NOTE: When in "Level 3", press the blade speed adjustment button
again and the blade speed will resume the previous speed.
LED Lights (Fig. E19)
◾
The LED headlights could be turned on and off by the LED light
switch.
USB Port
NOTICE: The USB port provides charging power of 5 Voltage DC at up a
combined draw of 1.5 Amperes and is powered only when the tractor is
startup.
STOPPING THE TRACTOR (Fig. E20)
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!
NOTE: In a situation when the parking-brake pedal is set to the parking-
brake position and the operator is off the seat, but the battery packs are
not removed:
◾
In case the LCD screen is turned off, the battery indicators, start/
stop button, and CCS button will remain illuminated for 1 hour.
◾
In case the LCD screen shows the "fuel gauge" or operator
interface, the tractor will automatically shut off after 1 hour.
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 1000m.
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.
DRIVING THE TRACTOR (Fig. E21)
DANGER: Stay at least two mowing widths away from any ditches,
drop-offs, or water. Front wheels can rotate when the tractor is stopped,
even with the brake applied, and cause the tractor to go over the edge
or into the water and result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not operate the tractor on public roadways.
WARNING: If blockage happens or you strike a foreign object, stop the
motors and remove the batteries. Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt and
any other accumulated debris; thoroughly inspect the tractor for damage
and repair the damage before restarting and operating the tractor.
NOTE:
◾
During driving, when you leave the seat, the tractor status
indicator will turn off. When restarting driving again, sit back on
the seat and fully depress the parking-brake pedal to make the
tractor status indicator shine green.
◾
When switching between forward and reverse during driving,
move the direction control lever directly from one end to the other
without stopping in the neutral position, otherwise the tractor may
stop moving.
USING CRUISE CONTROL (CCS)
To activate (enter) Cruise Control (CCS) (Fig. E22)
NOTE: The driving speed level shown on the LCD screen may not
accurately represent the actual driving speed of the tractor in cruise
control. Press the speed adjustment button to "refresh" the driving
speed level on the LCD screen.
