• Release the bail lever.
This mower is equipped with a “soft-start” feature. When initially starting up, the mower will take
approx. 3 seconds to get up to full speed. If the mower does not initially start: Remove the
battery and check under the mower deck to ensure there is nothing obstructing the blade and that the
blade can spin freely by hand. Even a small amount of grass on start up will prevent the “soft start”
from turning the mower on.
