MOWER INFORMATION

EXTENSION CORDS An adapter is available for connecting

• , WARNING

To reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock, use only with an

extension cord intended for

outdoor use, such as SW-A,

SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,

SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or

SJTOW-A.

Use proper extension cord with this mower. Use

only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider than

the other), UL listed extension cord marked for

outdoor use. The cord must be marked with suffix

W or W-A following the cord type designation.

Example:SJTW-A or SJTW.

Use proper sized cord with this mower. Cord

must be heavy enough to carry current needed.

An undersized cord will cause voltage drop

at mower. The mower will lose power and

overheat. Follow cord size requirements listed

below.

Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure

cord does not catch on branches during cutting.

Inspect cord often. Replace damaged cords.

1. Use only three-wire outdoor extension

cords that have three-prong grounding-

type plugs and three-pole receptacles that

accept the mower's plug.

2. Make sure your extension cord is in good

condition. Cord insulation must be intact

with no cracks or deterioration. Plug con-

nectors must be undamaged. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy

enough to carry the current your mower

will draw. An undersized extension cord

will cause a drop in line voltage resulting

in loss of power and overheating.

The table below shows the correct size

extension cord to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If in

doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord.

The smaller the gauge number, the heavier

the cord. To reduce the risk of disconnec-

tion of mower fl'om the extension cord dur-

ing operation, use the cord hitch described

in this manual.

This mower should be grounded while

in use to reduce the risk of injury to the

operator from electric shock. The mower is

equipped with an approved three-conduc-

tor cord and three-prong grounding-type

plug to fit the proper grounding-type re-

ceptacle. The green or green and yellow

conductor in the cord is the grounding

wire. Never connect the green or green and

yellow wire to a live terminal. See Figure

17 for plug configuration.

plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green-

colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, must be

connected to a permanent ground, such as

a properly grounded outlet box.

Provide Ground Fau{t Circuit Interrupter

(GFCI) protection on the circuit or out{et

to be used for the mower. You may use

receptac{es with built-in GFCI protection

for this safety measure.

Connecting Extension Cord

WARNING

Fu liy seat the extension cord on

the mower connector. Fai{ure to

do so could {ead to overheating

of mower. This could cause a fire

that results in personal injury to

you or others.

The mower has a built-in extension cord retainer.

This cord hitch prevents accidental disconnec-

tion of the power cord during use. The cord

hitch is mounted onto the handle below the

control panel.

1. Plug the extension cord into the mower

connector (see Figure 18).

2. Create a loop in the extension cord and

insert the loop through the bottom of the

cord retainer (see Figure 19).

3. Pull the loop tight around the molded cord

hitch (see Figure 20).

Note: An optional method of retaining the

extension cord is shown in Figure 18. Use this

method with larger-gauge cords that may not

fit into the extension cord retainer.

Extension Cord Management

When mowing with an extension cord attached to

mower, start the first row closest to the electrical

outlet being used and mow away from outlet.

1. Place most of the extension cord close to

the electrical outlet, out of the path of the

mower.

2. Start in direction where extension cord side

of mower is closest to the outlet. Begin

mowing in the area closest to the outlet

and mow in a back and forth manner.

Note: Keep the cord on cut portion of lawn

and out of the path of the mower.

3. Avoid mowing in circles as cord will be

harder to manage.

WARNING

Be aware of extension cord while

operating mower. Be careful not

to trip over cord. Keep cord away

from mower blade at all times.

CiRCUiT BREAKER PROTECTION

This mower is equipped with a circuit breaker

located on the top of mower control panel (see

Figure 22). The circuit breaker provides over-

current protection to the mower motor should

the blade become jammed by grass clogged in

the output chute or other obstruction.

If the circuit breaker should trip during use, the

white circuit breaker button will pop up out of

the control panel and the electric motor and the

blade will stop rotating.
