WARNING! WHEN FITTING THE GRASS CATCHER AFTER EMPTYING, ALWAYS ENSURE THERE IS NO BUILD UP OF GRASS IN THE GRASS CHUTE.
Grass Catcher Indicator
The grass catcher is fitted with an indicator at the rear of the catcher to help identify when to empty.
When in operation the indicator floats up when the catcher is empty. If the indicator drops down then the grass catcher is full and needs emptying.

PREPARATION

The cutting height adjustment lever provides 9 cutting heights from 25mm – 80mm.

1. Pull lever outwards away from the mower body.
2. Adjust until the required cutting height is selected.
3. Release lever and check that it is securely seated in the required cutting height position.

Inserting the Batteries & Safety Key
Only use 2 batteries with the same capacity. For best performance use 3.0 Ah batteries and above. Always use 2 batteries with the same charge state with the mower.

1. Carefully lift open the battery cover from the front.

2. Slide two batteries of the same capacity and same charge state into the front mounts, aligning the ribs so that they click into place.
   

3. Insert the safety key. (If the mower is not going to be used immediately, do not insert the safety key.)

4. Carefully close the battery cover.

WARNING! ALWAYS ENSURE THE SAFETY KEY AND ALL BATTERIES ARE REMOVED WHEN NOT IN USE.

Removing the Batteries from the Mower

2. Close the battery cover.

WARNING! NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERIES INSIDE THE MOWER WHEN MOWER IS NOT IN USE.

Spare Battery Mounts
Additional two battery mounts are available for your convenience, they provide a safe place to transport spare batteries for when your mower is in operation. They do not provide any additional power to the mower, only quick and easy access when needed.

MOWING

WARNING! ALWAYS WEAR STURDY, NON-SLIP FOOTWEAR, LONG TROUSERS, SAFETY GLASSES AND HEARING PROTECTION WHEN USING THE EQUIPMENT. NEVER USE THE EQUIPMENT BAREFOOT OR IN SANDALS.

Switching On and Off
To prevent accidental start up, the mower is fitted with a dual action switch.

2. Pull the start/stop motor lever towards the handle to start the mower and then release the safety switch.
   

3. Release the start/stop motor lever to stop the mower.

WARNING! THE MOWER BLADE WILL STOP A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE START/STOP MOTOR LEVER HAS BEEN RELEASED, BE AWARE OF THE NECESSARY TIME IT TAKES FOR THE BLADE TO STOP.

Run Time
The operating time of the PXC battery (the area in square meters that can be covered with a single battery charge) is largely dependent on the state of the grass (e.g. Density, moisture, height, etc.) the lawn mower cutting height position  and your walking speed.
Frequently turning the equipment on and off while mowing will also reduce the amount of area that you can cover. If the operating time of the PXC battery (area coverage) is still unsatisfactory in spite of the above measures, you can  remedy the problem by using PXC battery with a larger capacity (Ah).

Lawn Mowing Tips
Start mowing the edge of the lawn and work along making sure to overlap each pass by a few centimetres.

When mowing long grass be sure to not overload the motor. First cut with the highest cutting height and then to the desired height. This will help reduce the load.

WARNING! DO NOT MOW IN POOR VISIBILITY CONDITIONS, IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GRASS IS WET.

• While using your lawn mower always wear substantial closed, heavy footwear and long trousers.

• Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris; they could be thrown by the blade.

• Before using the lawn mower and after any impact, check for signs of wear or damage and repair as necessary.

• Replace a worn or damaged blade together with the blade bolt to preserve balance.

• Always ensure that a safe distance is maintained between the user and the mower housing.

• Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing.

• Always mow along the incline (not up and down). For safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.

• Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower.
  Tripping hazard!

• For optimum grass collection, always mow in a straight line; do not swing the lawn mower from side to side.

• Do not overload the mower. Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop; you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor speed drops you may overload your lawn mower, which may cause damage. When  mowing in long thick grass first cut with the cutting height set in the highest position, this will help reduce the load.

Audible Warning Tone
The mower is equipped with an audible warning system, which helps to ensure a long service life and improved user experience. With the batteries fitted and when the Start/Stop Motor Lever is in use the following will activate the audible warning system.

• Safety Key: When the safety key is not inserted.
• Low Battery: When the lawn mower batteries are running low, or a battery is inserted incorrectly, the mower will continuously beep. If this occurs, insert the battery correctly, either charge the current batteries or replace with fully  charged batteries.
• Overload Protection: When the lawn mower motor is overloaded, short warning beeps will warn the user and the mower will stop. Release the start/stop lever, remove safety key, batteries and investigate the cause of the overload.  Possible causes if this occurs, Height of cut too low – Adjust the cutting height to a higher setting.
  Possible clogging – Check underneath the mower and clear out as necessary.
  Wet grass – Wait until the grass dries before mowing.
  Grass too dense – Raise the cutting height and walk slower.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! ALWAYS ENSURE THE LAWN MOWER BLADE HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, REMOVE SAFETY KEY, BATTERIES AND GRASS CATCHER PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
Removing and Fitting the Blade
WARNING! ALWAYS USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE BLADE. SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE INJURY.

Only replace the blade with a genuine Ozito replacement blade, as this will ensure top performance and safety under all conditions.

1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly and with a 13mm socket loosen the blade bolt by turning it anti-clockwise.
   Note: A piece of timber will assist in holding the blade while removing or tightening the blade bolt.

2. Remove the blade bolt and blade.
   Replace the metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is sooner. If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.

3. To fit the blade, place the blade over the centre hole aligning the different shaped lugs.
   Note: The shape of the lugs prevent the blade from fitting in the wrong direction.

4. Then retighten the fastening bolt. The tightening torque should be approx. 25 Nm.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage

• Remove build up of grass in the grass chute.

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
  Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

• Do not clean the lawn mower with running water, particularly with high-pressure water.

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the lawn mower is in a safe working condition.

• Check the catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

• Only use the replacement blade and blade bolt specified for this product.

• Be careful during adjustments of the lawn mower to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blade and fixed parts of the machine.

• When not in use, the mower should be stored in a dry, frost-free location, out of reach of children.
  Remove batteries and safety key. If the housing of the mower requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth and brush only.

• For best results, clean the lawn mower with a brush or rag.

Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by the repair of the lawn mower by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the lawn mower. This tool is designed for DIY use – use in commercial or  industrial environments will void the warranty.
