STARTING THE MOWER (Fig. E15 – Fig. E16)
WARNING: Avoid sudden starts, stops, and turns, as well as
excessive speed, especially when first learning to operate the mower.
The mower can spin rapidly, which may cause you to lose control and
result in serious injury and/or damage.
WARNING: Before starting the mower, check and make sure
the blades are disengaged within 5s when pushing the PTO switch
downward. If the blades fail to stop, do not use the mower and contact
your EGO customer service immediately.
NOTICE: Follow Fig. E17 & Fig. E18 to get the lowest driving speed and
STANDARD driving mode until you are fully capable of operating the
mower in all situations.
The mower will save and present the previous driving mode, driving
speed and calibration of the steering wheel when restarting it.
Driving-Mode Adjustment (Fig. E17)
◾
CONTROL: Lower acceleration, less sensitive handling, and mild
turning speed to protect the grass and for new users.
◾
STANDARD: Perfect for everyday use.
◾
SPORT: Higher acceleration, accurate handling, and sharp turning
to maximize mowing efficiency and for mowing enthusiasts.
NOTE: The driving mode cannot be adjusted during driving. The function
will activate only when the mower wheels are stopped.

warn bystanders; if the rear lights are turned on, they will remain
on.

All lights will switch off automatically when the mower shuts off
automatically after a period without operating.

ZERO TURN RIDE-ON MOWER — ZT4200E-S
USB Port
NOTICE: The USB port provides charging power of 5 Voltage DC at up a
combined draw of 1.5 Amperes and is powered only when the mower
is startup
STOPPING THE MOWER (Fig. E20)
NOTICE: After more than 60 minutes without operating, the mower will
automatically shut off.
Limp-Home Mode
When battery charge becomes critically low, the mower will go into
Limp-Home mode to preserve enough power to travel back to the
charging area.
◾
The blades switch into low rotation speed, which could only cut
very little amount of grass. Upon encountering tall and dense
grass, the blades will stop rotating. The audio indicator will sound
(beep) intermittently.
◾
The mower status indicator will flash red every second, both the
low-power indicator and the battery graphics on the fuel gauge
will flash.
The operator should:
◾
Push the PTO switch downward to turn off the blade motors. The
audio indicator will stop sounding when the blade motors stop.
◾
Stop working and get to the charging area as soon as possible.
The maximum distance the mower can travel is 1000m.
When the battery is nearly depleted, the icon of each occupied battery
compartment and low-power indicator will blink every half a second.
The mower will stop working immediately. The operator will have to
transport the mower to the charging area for charging.
NOTICE: If manual pushing is needed, be sure that the batteries are
disconnected from the mower and the parking-brake pedal is released
from the braking position.
DRIVING THE MOWER (Fig. E21)
DANGER: Stay at least two mowing widths away from any
ditches, drop-offs, or water. Front wheels can rotate when the mower is
stopped, even with the brake applied, and cause the mower to go over
the edge or into the water and result in death or serious personal injury.
WARNING: Be aware of what is behind the mower before backing
up. DO NOT mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary. Always look
down and behind before and while backing to make sure no children,
bystanders, or pets enter the mowing area. Remember that a careless
fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict death or serious injury.
WARNING: Do not operate this machine on public roadways.
WARNING: If blockage happens or you strike a foreign object, stop
the motors and remove the batteries. Remove grass clippings, leaves,
dirt and any other accumulated debris; thoroughly inspect the mower
for damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the
mower.
