For a mower that is dead, flashes an error, or stops while cutting.

Before you begin

Remove the battery and safety key before blade inspection. Never open, bypass, or rebuild a lithium battery pack.

Start here

Use the exact battery and charger family and record every mower, battery, or charger indicator before cycling power.

Start sequence

  • Charge with the approved charger, allow temperature to normalize, and seat the battery fully.
  • Install the safety key in the specified position.
  • Use the correct order for the start inhibitor and motor-brake handle; some controls time out if held too early.

Obstruction and overload

  • Remove battery and key and wait as directed before touching the blade area.
  • Clear debris and inspect for visible blade damage.
  • Raise cutting height and slow travel in thick or wet grass instead of repeatedly resetting overload protection.

Heat and fault indicators

  • Let the mower and battery cool naturally; never force-cool or charge a hot pack.
  • Inspect contacts for dirt, misalignment, corrosion, or heat damage without probing across terminals.
  • Match the exact flash pattern to the model manual rather than using a generic code description.

Stop and reassess when

  • The battery is swollen, cracked, wet, hot, or smells abnormal.
  • Contacts are burned or melted.
  • Pack-level or live controller testing is required.
