How do I adjust the cutting height?

The mower has 6 cutting heights from 1.4" to 3.4" (35-85 mm). To raise the height, move the cutting height adjustment lever (13) towards the back of the mower; to lower, move it towards the front. Engage the lever in the desired notch. Always stop the motor and remove the safety key before adjusting.

What battery and charger are compatible?

Use only LawnMaster® 60V Lithium-Ion batteries and the supplied charger (model 60LFC02-ETL). The charger input is 120V ~ 60Hz, output 60V DC at 4A. Charging time is approximately 85 minutes for the included 5.0Ah battery.

How do I install the grass collection bag?

First remove the mulching plug (17) if installed. Lift the rear safety flap (16), hook the rods of the collection bag (15) onto the mower holders, then release the flap. Ensure the flap rests firmly on top of the bag. Do not use the mulching plug and collection bag simultaneously.

What maintenance is required?

After each use, clean grass clippings from under the deck using a dry cloth. Periodically check all nuts and bolts. Lubricate springs, height adjustment lever, axle bolts, and motor shaft with light oil before and after mowing season. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed. Always remove the safety key and battery before maintenance.

How do I replace the mower blade?

Remove the safety key and battery. Turn the mower on its side and wedge a block of wood between the blade and deck to prevent rotation. Loosen and remove the blade nut counterclockwise. Install the new blade with curved ends pointing up toward the deck. Tighten the nut to 25 N·m (221.5 lb-in). Use only identical replacement blade (part #RMB6018A).

What does the iPower control panel do?

The iPower panel (20) has a Mower Mode Indicator (20a) with 4 settings: Auto (default, automatic adjustment), 1 (light mowing), 2 (taller/thicker grass), and 3 (maximum power). The Battery Meter Indicator (20b) shows charge level with 4 LEDs (4 = full, 1 = needs charging).

Why does the mower vibrate excessively?

Excessive vibration can be caused by a loose blade, unbalanced blade, or bent motor shaft. Stop the mower, remove the battery, and inspect the blade. Tighten the blade bolt, sharpen and balance the blade, or if the shaft is bent, have the mower serviced by an authorized center.

How should I store the mower?

Remove the safety key and battery. Clean the underside of the deck. Lower the handle bar to storage position by unlocking the locking clips and pressing the locking levers.

■ To power off the mower, release the start/stop bale switch (1). Pull out the safety key (19) if the mower is not going to be used immediately (Fig. 22).

GENERAL OPERATION

Check the product, its power cord and accessories for damage before each use. Before use, please ensure all power connections are in good working order prior to installing the power key and battery. If damage is present or observed, please stop and have mower serviced before use.

Do not use the product if it is damaged or shows wear.

■ Double check that the blade is properly installed.
■ Always hold the product by its handles. Keep the handles dry to ensure safe support.
■ Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
■ Switch the product off immediately if you are disturbed while working by other people entering the working area. Always let the product come to complete stop before removing the grass collection box.
■ Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure you can concentrate on the work and have full control over the product.

MOWING (See Fig. 23)

■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wires, and other objects that could damage the lawn mower blades or motor. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy plot of grass, always cut off one-third or less of the total length of the grass.
■ When cutting heavy grass; reduce walking speed to allow for more effective cutting and a proper discharge of the clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the underside of the deck (12) and prevent proper mulching of grass clippings.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower cut.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck (12) after each use to remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated debris.

Mow in slight overlapping rows. The most effective pattern for mowing lawns is straight lines along one of the sides. This will keep the rows even and ensures that all the lawn is cut without missing any spots (Fig.23).

AFTER USE

■ Switch the product off, remove the battery pack (21) and let it cool down.
■ Check, clean and store the product as described below.

BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER

BATTERY CHARGING

■ Use only with 60V LawnMaster® battery chargers. The battery charger supplied is specifically designed for the Lithium-Ion battery used in this garden appliance.
■ Check the power voltage! Battery chargers operate on 120 V.
■ The battery is charged between 45°F and 104°F. This ensures an optimum battery service life.
■ Protect the battery from heat, from continuous exposure to sun and keep away from radiation or other heat sources. Do not leave the battery in the mower in direct sunlight over long periods.
■ The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full capacity of the battery, charge the battery before using your appliance for the first time. The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time without reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not affect the battery.
■ Always leave it fully charged if kept in the charger for storage.

CHARGER LEDS

■ If the battery is not inserted, a continuous red LED light indicates that the outlet plug is plugged into a outlet socket and the battery charger is ready for operation.
■ Charging: a flashing green LED on the charger indicates that the battery is charging normally.
■ Charged: continuous green LED on the charger indicates that the battery is ready for use.
■ Technical Issue: a flashing red LED light on the charger indicates that battery pack has a charging problem or might be defective.

- One possible condition is the battery temperature is not within the charging temperature range of 45^ F - 104^ F or the charging current is too high. As soon as the permitted temperature and the charging current ranges are reached, the battery charger will automatically switch to charging.

- If the temperature range and charging current are correct and flashing red LED light continues, then remove and reinstall the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a second time, try to charge another identical battery. If the battery charges normally, dispose of the defective battery pack (see Environmental Safe Battery Disposal section).

- If the flashing red light continues after installing the second battery, the charger may be defective. Replace with a new one.

■ After continuous or repeated charging cycles without interruption, the charger may warm up. This is normal and does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charger.

The indicator lights on the charger show the charger status:

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING

Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

■ Do not at any time make any maintenance to the lawn mower without first stopping the motor and removing the safety key and battery pack. Adjust the handle bar or make other adjustments as illustrated in the manual, if necessary or if it can make it easier for maintenance.
■ Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness to insure safe operation of the mower.
■ Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around the motor cover. Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth occasionally. Do not use water.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further bearing lubrication is required. At the beginning and end of each mowing season:

■ Lubricate the springs on the rear discharge door with light oil.
■ Lubricate the cutting height adjustment lever (13) and related hardware with light oil.
■ Remove the wheels and lubricate the surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the wheels with light oil.
■ Remove the blade and blade hub assembly and lubricate the motor shaft with light oil or engine oil. See Replacing the Cutting Blade for instructions on removing the blade.

WARNING

Always protect hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or wrapping the cutting edges of the blade with rags and other material when performing blade maintenance. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING

Before performing any maintenance, make sure the mower is unplugged from the power supply and battery has been removed. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

REPLACING THE MOWER BLADE (See Figs. 24-25)

NOTE: Remove safety key and battery before performing any maintenance!

NOTE: Only use identical replacement blades. LawnMaster® mower blade replacement part #RMB6018A.

■ Stop the motor and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
■ With blade stopped, remove SAFETY KEY and BATTERY from mower and store in safe location.
■ Remove collection bag from mower if attached.
■ Slowly turn the mower onto its side.
■ Wedge a block of wood between the blade and the mower deck (12) in order to prevent blade from turning while the blade nut is being removed.
■ Loosen the blade nut using a wrench or socket (not provided).
■ Remove the blade nuts counterclockwise, then remove the blade.
■ Make certain the fan assembly is pushed completely against the motor shaft.
■ Place the new blade on the shaft against the fan assembly. Make sure it is installed with the curved ends pointing up toward the mower deck (17) and not down toward the ground.
■ Thread the blade nuts on the shaft and finger tighten.
■ Torque the blade nuts down using a torque wrench (not provided) to 25 N·m (221.5 pound-inches) to ensure the bolt is properly tightened.

NOTE: Make certain all parts are replaced in the exact order in which they were removed.

SHARPENING THE BLADE (See Fig. 26)

For best mowing performance, the mower blade must be kept sharp. A dull blade does not cut grass evenly and overloads the motor. Under normal circumstances, sharpening the blade twice during the mowing season is usually sufficient. However, if your lawn has sandy soil, more frequent sharpening may be required.

■ Following the instructions in the Replacing Mower Blade section (p. 25), remove the mower blade. DO NOT attempt to sharpen the blade while it is attached to the mower.
■ Using a fine-tooth file or sharpening stone, sharpen cutting edges on both ends of the blade, removing equal amounts of material from both ends.

WARNING

When removing, inspect the blade carefully. If blade is bent or damaged, replace immediately with a new blade. Failure to replace a bent or damaged blade could cause an accident resulting in possible serious injury.

BALANCING THE BLADE (See Fig. 27)

When sharpening, care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration when the mower is running. This vibration will eventually cause damage to the mower, especially the motor.

To check the blade balance:

■ Clamp a screwdriver horizontally in a vise as shown.

NOTE: If a vise is not available, a straight nail can also be used.

■ Place the center hole of blade on the screwdriver (or nail) shank.

■ If blade is balanced, it will remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade drops downward, sharpen the heavy side until the blade is balanced.

REPLACING WHEELS (See Fig. 28)

To replace a wheel (10 or 14):

NOTE: before replacing a rear wheel (14), set the mower at the highest position.

■ Remove safety key (19) and battery (21) at first before replacing the wheel.
■ Turn the mower upright.
■ Push the inner hubcap tabs from inner side of the wheel, by using a flat head screwdriver or other adequate tool.
■ When all inner hubcap tabs have been depressed, the hubcap should become free allowing access to the axle.
■ Remove the cotter pin using a pair of pliers, and slide the washer off the axle.
■ Remove the wheel, replace with a new identical replacement wheel.
■ Reinstall the washer and press cotter pin back into place. Reinstall the inner hubcap. Make sure all tabs are locked into place.

NOTE: Servicing or replacing requires extreme care, knowledge and skills, and we suggest it be performed by a qualified service technician. You can return the product to your nearest SERVICE CENTER for repairing or replacing. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

STORING THE MOWER (See Figs. 29-34)

■ Remove mower safety key (19) and battery.
■ Turn mower on its side and clean grass clippings that have accumulated on the underside of the mower deck (12).
■ Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth.
■ Check all nuts, bolts, knobs, screws, fasteners, etc., for tightness.
■ Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage, and wear. Have repairs made on any damaged or missing parts.
