Handling the Battery Safely
•
•
NEVER CHARGE THE LAWN MOWER BATTERY IN THE RAIN OR IN WET CONDITIONS.
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. USE OF A DIFFERENT CHARGER MAY
CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
•
•
EXERCISE CARE IN HANDLING THE BATTERY IN ORDER NOT TO SHORT-CIRCUIT IT WITH CONDUCTING
MATERIALS SUCH AS RINGS, BRACELETS, AND KEYS. WHEN SHORT-CIRCUITED, THE BATTERY OR
CONDUCTOR MAY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE BURNS.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE INDIVIDUAL BATTERY CELLS INSIDE THE BATTERY. MIXING FRESH

DISCHARGED BATTERY. IMPROPER WIRING WITHIN THE BATTERY COULD RESULT IN LEAKAGE OR
EXPLOSION.
•
•
NEVER DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN A FIRE, AS THE BATTERY CELLS MAY EXPLODE. NEVER OPEN OR
MUTILATE THE BATTERY. RELEASED ELECTROLYTE (BATTERY ACID) IS CORROSIVE AND WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO EYES, SKIN, OR CLOTHES. BATTERY ACID IS TOXIC IF SWALLOWED OR IF THE FUMES ARE
INHALED.
NEVER THROW AWAY USED BATTERIES IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD TRASH. BRING THEM TO A RECYCLING
CENTER OR HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DEPOT FOR PROPER DISPOSAL. PLEASE REFER TO
“RECYCLING YOUR USED BATTERY” ON PAGE 31 FOR MORE INFORMATION.
NOTE: See additional details on Battery care in “Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery”.
No list of Warnings and Cautions can be all-inclusive. If situations occur not covered by this manual, the
operator must apply common sense and operate the NEUTON Mower or Trimmer in a safe manner.

Assembling Your NEUTON Mower
To allow you to quickly begin using your NEUTON Mower, it shipped to you partially assembled. The
assembly process is easy and does not require any special tools, knowledge, or strength.
Assembling your NEUTON Mower takes just a few steps:
Step 1: Read the Safety & Operating Instructions before proceeding
Step 2: Adjust the Handlebar Height
Step 3: Remove the Battery
Step 4: Charge the Battery before your first use
Step 5: Attach the Side Discharge Chute, Mulching Plug, or Rear Bagger
Step 6: Insert the Battery after it is fully charged
Each of these steps is described in detail below: (See Figure 15 on page 17 for a photograph of the
fully assembled Mower)
THE SAFETY KEY, WITH ITS BUILT-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER, AS WELL AS THE BATTERY, SHOULD NEVER BE
INSERTED DURING ASSEMBLY, ADJUSTMENTS, CLEANING, BLADE REPLACEMENT, OR WHEN THE MOWER IS
NOT IN USE. REMOVING THE SAFETY KEY WILL PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING, AND HELP AVOID
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Step 1: Read the Safety & Operating Instructions before proceeding.
The NEUTON Mower is a motorized cutting machine that uses a sharp Blade. For your safety, and for best
results, it is important to read the information in “Chapter 2: Important Safety Considerations” before you
assemble or use the Mower.
To familiarize yourself with the assembly, features, and operation of your Mower, please read the remainder of
this manual before proceeding.
NOTE: Do not discard the shipping box and packaging material until you are fully satisfied with your new
NEUTON Battery-Powered Mower.

Step 5: Attach the Side Discharge Chute, Mulching Plug, or Rear Bagger
Side Discharge Chute
The Side Discharge Chute (Figure 5) allows for proper discharge of the grass, which prevents clogging.
The Chute is shipped without the Handle so you will have to install the Handle prior to use using a
small Phillips Screwdriver. The Handle and Screw are located in the Product Pack bag that shipped
with the Mower.
1. Raise the hinged Discharge Guard on the back of the Mower (Figure 5).
2. Orient the Discharge Chute as shown in Figure 5. Position the two (2) Hangers on the Chute over
the Support Rod (Figure 5) and lower the Chute into place (Figure 5).
3. Lower the hinged Discharge Guard.

Chapter 4:Operating Your NEUTON Mower
This chapter explains how to Start, Stop, and adjust the Cutting Height of your Mower.
NOTE: If the Mower Battery is not fully charged or if you are unpacking a new Mower for the first time, read
“Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery” before operating the Mower. You should charge
the Battery for eight (8) to twenty-four (24) hours before use.
Pre-Start Checks
DO NOT INSERT THE SAFETY KEY UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED ALL OF THE PRE-START CHECKS AND YOU
HAVE MOVED THE MOWER TO THE AREA THAT YOU ARE GOING TO MOW.
Perform the following checks each time before operating your Mower.
•
Check under the Mower Deck and make sure that the Blade is attached securely. Inspect for any
visible damage to the Blade or Deck, and remove any accumulation of dirt, dust, or dried grass
clippings.
•
•
•
Make sure all Knobs, Bolts, Attachments, Guards, and Covers are in place and securely attached.
Attach the Side Discharge Chute, the Rear Bagger, or the Mulching Plug.
Set the Mower to the desired Cutting Height. See “Adjusting the Cutting Height” on page 24 for
details.
•
•
Be sure the Battery is fully charged.
Be sure to set the Power/Mode Switch to “Mowing” (the “Mowing” side of the switch, toward you,
is pushed down).
•
Push the Mower (before starting it) to the lawn area that you wish to mow.
NOTE: The length of time that a Battery can hold a charge while mowing depends upon lawn conditions;
tall or thick grass makes the Mower work harder causing the Battery to discharge faster.

Mowing on Slopes
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes
require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
Always:
•
•
•
Use caution on slopes. Whenever possible, mow across the face of slopes, not up and down.
Exercise caution when changing direction on slopes.
Remove objects such as rocks and tree limbs, or any other potential object possibly thrown by
the Mower Blade. Objects struck by the Mower Blade can cause severe injuries.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Never:
•
•
•
Never mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or balance.
Never mow steep slopes or any other areas where stability or traction is in doubt.
Never mow on wet grass. Unsure footing could cause you to slip.

Stopping the Motor and Blade
Simply releasing the orange Control Bar stops the Motor and Blade.
THE BLADE CONTINUES TO ROTATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER YOU SHUT OFF THE MOTOR.
When Finished Mowing
•
Remove the Safety Key when the Mower is unattended.
•
Remember to recharge the Battery after each use; no matter how short a time you used it. See
“Charging the Battery” on page 28 for details.
YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE THE SAFETY KEY WITH ITS BUILT-IN CIRCUIT BREAKER AND THE BATTERY
INSERTED DURING ADJUSTMENTS OR BLADE REPLACEMENT. REMOVING THE SAFETY KEY WILL PREVENT
ACCIDENTAL STARTING, AND HELP AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Mowing and Lawn Care Tips
•
For the best mowing results, mow at a steady pace. If you try to walk too quickly, especially in tall
or thick grass, the quality of the cut may not be uniform. To avoid damage and extend Battery life,
always mow at a pace allowing the Motor to run smoothly.
•
The length of time that the Battery can hold a charge while mowing depends upon lawn
conditions; tall, thick, or damp grass make the Mower work harder, causing the Battery to
discharge faster. Under normal mowing conditions, the run time is between forty-five (45) and
sixty (60) minutes. To mow longer, consider purchasing a second Battery and keep it fully charged.
•
Before starting the Mower, adjust the Cutting Height so that you only cut one (1) to two (2) inches
of grass at a time. Cut thicker grass at a higher Cutting Height, or cut a narrower swath. Do not
force the Mower forward in thick grass; rather, cut it with a couple of passes. Your NEUTON Mower
will do a better and safer job when cutting at a steady pace.
•
•
Mowing dense grasses, such as St. Augustine or Bermuda grass, requires more power to cut
properly. For these grasses, it may be necessary to move more slowly to ensure a quality cut.
Mow as often as needed so that you are only cutting one (1) to two (2) inches of grass each
mowing session. Trying to cut more than two (2) inches at a time will drastically reduce the charge
life of the Battery and quality of the cut.
•
For the healthiest lawn, avoid removing more than one third (1/3) of the leaf blade during any one
(1) mowing session. When more than one third (1/3) of the leaf blade is removed, the grass plant
produces less food for itself and therefore becomes weaker and more susceptible to disease and
insect damage.
•
•
Frequent stopping and restarting of the Mower will use additional Battery energy. Try to work
continuously and smoothly when mowing.
Keep your Mower Blade sharp. A sharp Blade cuts the grass quickly and cleanly, using less of the
Mower’s power, which conserves Battery life. For best results, inspect the Blade often and have an
extra, sharp Blade ready to install as a replacement while you have the dull Blade sharpened.
•
Mow across slopes; never up and down.

Chapter 5:Charging and Caring for the Battery
BEFORE CHARGING THE BATTERY, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS IN THIS
MANUAL AND ON YOUR MOWER. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR MOWER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED.
The Battery
The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery
is 36 volts and rated at 10 amp-hours. The Battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which it
is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely” in Chapter 2 for additional information.
The Battery is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. However, as with all
rechargeable Batteries, after years of use they will eventually need replacement. With proper care, this
Battery should last up to five (5) years. Please refer to “Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing Your
NEUTON Mower” for more information.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR OPEN THE BATTERY.
TIP
Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60)
minutes per use. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass. If you
generally intend to use your Mower and Trimmer for a longer duration, Neuton, Inc. recommends that
you purchase an extra Battery. That way, you could have a second fully charged Battery ready so you
can continue mowing.
It may take up to five (5) charging and discharging cycles before your Battery provides maximum life.
TIP
TIP
A Battery may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it
completely discharge. You should not try to coax a little more power out of your Battery.
PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE CORDS ON THE CHARGER UNIT AND THE HANDLEBAR FOR DAMAGE. IF
DAMAGE OCCURS, DO NOT USE THE MOWER UNTIL THE CORDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED.

Charging the Battery
You must charge the Battery before using your Mower for the first time and after every use. You can
charge the Battery in or out of the Mower. The performance of your Mower is the same, regardless of
which charging method you choose.
WHILE THE BATTERY IN YOUR MOWER WAS CHARGED AT THE FACTORY, YOU MUST RECHARGE IT FULLY
(EIGHT (8) TO TWENTY-FOUR (24) HOURS) BEFORE USING YOUR MOWER. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY
DECREASE THE CHARGING CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY. AGAIN, USE ONLY THE CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH
THE MOWER.
As the Battery ages, you may need to charge the Battery longer, even up to twenty-four (24) hours. A
good time to consider purchasing a replacement Battery is when the Battery takes longer than
twenty-four (24) hours to charge.
USE NORMAL HOUSEHOLD VOLTAGE (110 VOLTS) WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY. PLUG THE CHARGER
DIRECTLY INTO THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORDS. NEVER CARRY THE CHARGER BY
THE CORD. ALWAYS PULL THE PLUG – AND NOT THE CORD – WHEN DISCONNECTING THE CORDS FROM
THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET (WALL OUTLET) AND FROM THE CHARGER.
NOTE: When using an extension cord with your Charger, use a heavy-duty extension cord of a type “suitable
for outdoor use” (although you should never charge the Battery in the open outdoors).
ALWAYS CONNECT THE CHARGER TO THE BATTERY FIRST, AND THEN PLUG THE CHARGER INTO THE WALL
OUTLET. WHEN UNPLUGGING, REVERSE THE PROCESS; UNPLUG THE CHARGER FROM THE WALL OUTLET
FIRST, AND DISCONNECT IT FROM THE BATTERY.
Charging the Battery in the Mower
1. Make sure all four (4) Wheels of the Mower touch the
floor.
Charger in Mating Plug
2. Open the Access Cover and remove the Safety Key.
3. Remove the Protective Plug from the Charger
Receptacle on top of the Battery and plug in the round
Charger Connector Plug (Figure 24).
4. Plug the Charger into a wall outlet. The RED light on the
Battery will light up indicating a connection between
the Battery and Charger.
NOTE: A full charge takes at least eight (8) hours, and may take
up to twenty-four (24) hours. For the first five (5) hours,
the Charger will be warm to the touch. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.

Charging with the Battery out of the Mower
1. Remove the Battery from the Mower.
2. Remove the Protective Plug from the Charger Receptacle
on the Battery and plug in the round Charger Connector
(Figure 25).
Protective Plug
3. Plug the Charger into a standard 110V wall outlet. The
RED light on the Battery will light up indicating a
connection between the Battery and the Charger.
NOTE: The RED light on the Battery only indicates that the
Charger and Battery are connected – the Charger and
the light will not automatically turn off or the light
change color when charging is complete. As with
charging in the Mower, a full charge takes at least eight
(8) hours, and may take up to twenty-four (24) hours. For
the first five (5) hours, the Charger will be warm to the
touch. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Figure 25
ALWAYS KEEP THE BATTERY IN A DRY PLACE.
Disconnecting the Charger
Remember to disconnect the Battery from the Charger using this sequence:
1. Pull the plug from the Charger out of the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the Charger from the Battery and replace the Protective Plug.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE CHARGER FROM THE ELECTRICAL (WALL) OUTLET FIRST, AND THEN
DISCONNECT THE ROUND CHARGER PLUG FROM THE BATTERY. IF YOU REMOVE THE ROUND CHARGER
PLUG FIRST, THE EXPOSED CONNECTOR COULD BE ACCIDENTALLY SHORT-CIRCUITED BY FOREIGN
MATERIAL, WHICH MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE.
Recharging after each use of the Mower
Always fully recharge the Battery immediately after each use; no matter how short a time you used it.
Fully recharge even if the Status Indicator Light on the Mower is still green. This is important in order
to maintain maximum Mower performance and extend the useful life of the Battery. If you are using
the Mower and the green Indicator Light goes out, suggesting low Battery charge, then you should
stop using the Mower and either replace or recharge the Battery.
Unlike “Smart Batteries” found in devices such as cell phones, you should NOT run the NEUTON
Mower Battery until completely drained. You will reduce the long-term performance of the Battery if
allowed to run to full depletion.
Leaving the Battery on the Charger for an extended time (up to six (6) months in cold climates) will
not damage the Battery. It will not overcharge the NEUTON Battery.

Recharging to Full Charge for Off-Season Storage
IF A DEPLETED BATTERY IS STORED, THE CHARGING CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY MIGHT DECREASE.
When storing the Battery for periods up to six (6) months, Neuton, Inc. recommends that you leave
the Battery on the Charger. It is important that the Battery be stored in a dry location and that the
temperature remains between -4ºF (-20ºC) and +104ºF (+40ºC).
For Off-Season storage of the Battery, it is important that the Battery is fully charged. Consider these
facts when choosing your method of storing the Battery:
•
•
•
Leaving the Battery with a full charge is the best way to store the Battery.
Over time, Batteries will slowly discharge.
You will not damage the Battery by leaving it on the Charger for an extended period (up to six (6)
months).
For continued storage of the Battery for a period over six (6) months, fully charge the Battery, remove
it from the Charger, and store it in a dry and temperate location. If possible, recharge the Battery for
eight (8) to twenty-four (24) hours every two (2) to three (3) months. When ready to use the Mower
again, you should recharge the Battery for eight (8) hours prior to use.
Storage Temperature Range
For superior Battery performance, always store the Battery in temperatures between -4ºF (-20ºC) and
+104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. The lower the
storage temperature is within the specified range, the better. The Battery will discharge more slowly
at low temperatures.
For more information on storing your Mower, see “Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing your NEUTON
Mower”.

Caring for the Battery
You can lengthen the life of your Battery by following some simple guidelines.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Always charge the Battery inside in a garage or other covered area where it will be dry and
protected from the weather.
Only charge the Battery when the temperature is at least 32ºF (0ºC) – above freezing – but not
more than 104ºF (40ºC). Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the Battery.
Always keep the Battery away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flame, etc.), and
hazardous chemicals.
Always use the NEUTON Mower CE 6.2 Charger to charge the Battery; never attempt to use any
other Charger. Use of a different Charger may cause a fire or explosion.
Never use the Charger on any other product. Never operate a damaged Charger. If there is
damage to a cord or the Charger Unit, replace the Charger or have it repaired.
Do not worry about leaving the Battery charging for longer than eight (8) hours – you cannot
overcharge the Battery and will not cause damage after eight (8) hours. It will not impact the
Battery to leave it on the Charger for up to six (6) months.
•
When storing the Battery after removing it from the Mower, follow the storage guidelines in
“Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing Your NEUTON Mower”.

clippings as the standard mowing mode, a rear Bagger which allows you collect grass clippings, and a
Mulching Plug that allows you to mulch clippings.
NEUTON Trimmer
Trimmer
The NEUTON Trimmer is a unique attachment that,
when used with your NEUTON Mower (Figure 26),
enables you to trim and edge your lawn and yard
without having to buy a separate trimmer and edger
– it’s like having three (3) machines in one (1). The
Trimmer simply plugs into the front of your Mower.
The description and operation of the Trimmer is in
Chapter 9 of this manual.
Striper Roller
The Striper Roller (Figure 27) allows you to stripe
Figure 26
your lawn (roll patterns) to give your lawn that
professional manicured look of a golf fairway or
baseball diamond! See Chapter 9, page 50, for
information on connecting the Striper Roller.

1. Using a damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap or detergent, clean the Mower. Never use water,
gasoline, solvents, or other petroleum-based or solvent-based products when cleaning –
remember that this is an electric Mower.
2. Use a soft nylon brush or non-metallic scrubbing pad to remove any clippings that have
accumulated on the underside of the Deck and in the Side Discharge Chute. Do not use a wire
brush; it will scratch and harm the surface of your Mower.
3. You may use water to clean the Rear Bagger when not attached to the Mower. For proper grass
collection, make sure the Bagger is clean and the mesh holes are unclogged. Allow the Rear
Bagger to dry thoroughly before using it again.
NOTE: A wet Rear Bagger will clog quickly and hamper grass collection.

36mm Wrench
1. Remove the Safety Key and the Battery. If you are
charging the Battery in the Mower, first disconnect the
Charger from the electrical (wall) outlet.
2. While holding the Handlebar (as if you were mowing)
turn the Mower over on its right side to expose the Blade.
3. Place the 36mm Wrench over the Steel Hex Adapter (the
large metal piece that holds the Blade in position) and
place a 3/4" Socket or Wrench over the Blade Nut
(Figure 29).
3/4" Wrench
Figure 29
4. While holding the Hex Adapter in place, loosen the Blade Nut by turning counterclockwise. Be
careful, hold the Hex Adapter firmly in place so that the Blade does not spin and strike your hand.
Hold the Wrenches at a slight angle to each other and squeeze together to avoid spinning the Blade.
Squeeze the 3/4" Wrench clockwise to tighten the Nut and counterclockwise to loosen the Nut.
TIP
5. Remove the Blade Nut, Steel Hex Adapter, Blade, and Steel Blade Adapter in that order (Figure 30).
6. To install a sharpened Blade or a new Blade, reverse the order of step 5. Be sure to replace all
parts exactly as you removed them (Figure 30) and make sure to properly seat the Blade.
NOTE: Be sure that the stamping on the Blade “THIS SIDE TOWARDS MOWER” is facing the Mower. Also, if
replacing the Blade with a new one, use the new Nut supplied. If you assemble the Blade more than
ten (10) times, replace the Blade Nut with a new one.
7. Place the 36mm Wrench over the Steel Hex Adapter, then place a Torque Wrench with a 3/4"
Socket over the Blade Nut (Figure 29) and while holding the Hex Adapter in place, tighten the
Blade Nut by turning clockwise to 16.6 Ft-Lbs. Again, be careful, hold the Hex Adapter firmly in
place so that the Blade does not spin and strike your hand.
8. Make sure the Blade is firmly attached, and then turn your Mower upright.
Sharpening the Blade
When the Blade is dull, the cut ends of the grass end up
ragged and may turn brown soon after mowing. A dull blade
also causes the Battery to discharge faster. When this occurs,
sharpen the Blade (assuming the Blade is otherwise in good
condition).

1. Remove the Blade (see steps 1 thru 5 above).
2. Secure the Blade in a sturdy Vise and while wearing
Safety Glasses, carefully file the Cutting Edges of the
Blade using even strokes. Be sure to file both sides and
both ends equally.
Simply counting the number of strokes per edge will help to
keep the sharpening equal.
TIP
3. Check the blade after sharpening to be sure it is still
balanced (see next page).

Balancing the Blade
An out-of-balance Blade causes your machine to vibrate excessively. Excessive vibration may cause
damage to the Mower, especially the Motor.
Because you are removing metal from the Blade, make sure to remove an equal amount from each
end to keep the Blade balanced. The best way to balance a Blade is with a Blade Balancer (available at
most local Hardware stores); or with a large Screwdriver, Nail, or Bolt.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
•
•
Gloves
Blade Balancer, or a large Screwdriver, Nail, or Bolt
1. After sharpening the Blade, hang it on the Balancer and check the level (Figure 31). If one side of
the Blade tips lower than the other side, sharpen the lower end a little at time until the Blade is
level (balanced).
NOTE: When sharpening a used Blade, be especially careful to keep it balanced. If in doubt, replace the
Blade with a new one. Of course, you can always have a Mower Service sharpen and balance your
Blade.

Storing Your NEUTON Mower
ALWAYS STOP THE MOTOR, WAIT FOR THE BLADE TO STOP MOVING, REMOVE THE SAFETY KEY AND
REMOVE THE BATTERY TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING DURING STORAGE.
Whether you store the Mower for a short or long period, always remember these important guidelines:
•
Always store the Mower with a full Battery charge and follow the recharging instructions in
“Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery”.
•
Always store the Mower in an environment where the temperature is between -4ºF (-20ºC) and
+104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure the storage temperature will never be outside these limits. For long-
term storage, store the Battery in an environment where the temperature is lower, since the
Battery self-discharges slower at lower temperatures.
•
•
Store the Mower in a dry environment. Water will damage the Mower and Battery.
Do not store the Mower near chemicals, such as fertilizers. These products are often highly
corrosive and may cause permanent damage to your Mower.
•
•
•
Do not store the Battery in proximity to organic or other solvents.
Always keep the Safety Key in a safe place away from children.
You can safely keep the Battery in the Mower when storing them for the long term.
If you must store the Battery outside the Mower, follow these rules:
•
•
•
•
•
•
If you will use the Battery again, give it a full charge.
Do not store the Battery close to a source of heat, sparks, or open flame.
The surrounding temperature range must be between -4ºF (-20ºC) and +104ºF (+40ºC).
Do not expose the Battery to abnormal shaking or shocks.
Store the Battery away from children and animals.
Store the Battery in as DRY an environment as possible. Do not store it on a floor that may be
damp or subject to accidental flooding.
•
•
Regularly observe the external appearance of the Battery and keep it clean and dry. Never use a
Battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks, or obviously damaged.
During long-term storage of Batteries that are intended for reuse, periodically recharge the Battery,
as recommended in “Chapter 5: Charging and Caring for the Battery”.

Operating Your Trimmer Safely
Before operating your Trimmer, please review “Chapter 2: Important Safety Considerations”.
Trimming on Slopes Safely
Slopes are a major factor related to slip-and-fall accidents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes
require caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not trim or edge it.
Always:
•
•
•
Use caution on slopes. Whenever possible, trim or edge across the face of slopes, not up and
down. Exercise caution when changing direction on slopes.
Remove objects such as rocks and tree limbs, or any other potential object possibly thrown by
the Cutting Cord. Objects struck by the Cord can cause severe injuries.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Never:
•
Never trim or edge near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. You could lose your footing or
balance.
•
•
Never trim or edge steep slopes or any other areas where stability or traction is in doubt.
Never trim or edge on wet grass. Unsure footing could cause you to slip.
Using the NEUTON Trimmer
The NEUTON Trimmer (powered by your NEUTON Mower) is a versatile machine that quickly and
easily attaches to the front of the Mower (Figure 32) to trim and edge your lawn without your having
to buy both a separate Trimmer and Edger. The Trimmer can cut an eleven (11) inch swath through
lawn grass and light weeds.
The NEUTON Trimmer ships fully assembled and ready to use. Also included are two (2) replacement
Cord Spools for the Trimmer.

Battery has a full charge before you begin.
•
•
STARTING, STOPPING, AND RESTARTING AN ELECTRIC MOTOR REPEATEDLY WITHIN A FEW SECONDS
CAN GENERATE A GREAT DEAL OF HEAT AND DAMAGE THE MOTOR. TO PROTECT THE LIFE OF YOUR
NEUTON TRIMMER, ALWAYS WAIT AT LEAST FIVE (5) SECONDS AFTER STOPPING BEFORE RESTARTING
THE TRIMMER.
THE CUTTING CORD ALWAYS TURNS WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING; THERE IS NO CLUTCH TO ALLOW
THE CORD TO STOP ROTATING WHILE THE MOTOR IS RUNNING.
1. Set the Power/Mode Switch to Auxiliary (Figure 18 on page 19).
NOTE: The Cutting Blade on the Mower does not turn when the Power/Mode Switch is in the Auxiliary
position.
2. Insert the Safety Key into the Key Slot. The green Status Indicator Light should come ON.
3. Slide the orange Start Knob to the left and then squeeze and hold the orange Control Bar
(Figures 22 & 23 on page 25). The Trimmer motor will now start and run for as long as you are
squeezing the Control Bar.
Stopping the Trimmer
Simply release the Control Bar to Stop the Trimmer.
THE TRIMMER WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER YOU RELEASE THE CONTROL
BAR. WAIT FOR THE MOTOR TO STOP BEFORE MOVING THE MOWER. REMEMBER TO WAIT AT LEAST FIVE
(5) SECONDS AFTER STOPPING BEFORE YOU RESTART THE TRIMMER MOTOR.
When you are finished trimming or edging, remember to remove the Safety Key.

Advancing the Cord
Each time the Trimmer starts or comes to a complete stop, the Trimmer’s Cutting Cord automatically
advances and cuts itself to 5-1/2" resulting in an eleven (11) inch cutting swath.
You can also manually advance the Cord.
1. Release the orange Control Bar to stop the Trimmer motor and remove the Safety Key.
2. Push in the white Button on the side of the Spool Housing (Figure 37) and pull the Cord to
advance it. The Cord advances in small increments so you might have to push the Button a few
times.
NOTE: Try not to advance the Cutting Cord past the Trimmer Shield. If you do pull out too much Cord, the
Cutter on the Trimmer Shield automatically trims the length of the Cord (Figure 38).
BE CAREFUL, THE EXCESS CORD WILL FLY OFF WHEN YOU START THE TRIMMER AND COULD BE
DANGEROUS.

Safety Tips for using the Trimmer
Following these tips will provide safe operation and enhance the performance of your Trimmer:
•
•
Always stop the motor before toggling the Power/Mode Switch.
You can adjust the cutting height of the Trimmer by raising or lowering the Mower’s cutting
height level. Make sure you first stop the motor and remove the Safety Key before changing the
height.
•
•
Stop the motor and remove the Safety Key before changing the position of the Trimmer Head.
The Battery will drain more quickly in the Edger mode. You can realistically expect up to 45
minutes of use in the Edger mode, and approximately one (1) hour in Trim mode. This is when
having an extra charged Battery comes in handy. Be sure to remove the Safety Key when you
change the Battery.
•
Be sure to clean the Trimmer Head frequently keeping the cooling vents and air intake holes free
of debris.

2-Year Limited Warranty
Terms and Conditions
The NEUTON® CE 6.2 Battery-Powered Mower is warranted for two (2) years, one (1) year for the NEUTON®
Attachments and Accessories, against defects in materials or workmanship when put to personal residential
household use.
For the purposes of the warranty, “personal residential household use” refers to non-commercial residential use and
further excludes misuse, accidents, or damage due to inadequate maintenance.
Neuton, Inc. certifies that the NEUTON® CE 6.2 Battery-Powered Mower is fit for ordinary purposes for which a product
of this type is used. Neuton, Inc. however, limits the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness in duration to a
period of two (2) years, one (1) year for the NEUTON® Attachments and Accessories, in personal residential household
use.
The 2-Year Limited Warranty on the NEUTON® CE 6.2 Battery-Powered Mower, one (1) year for the NEUTON®
Attachments and Accessories, starts on the date the machine shipped from our factory. The 2-Year Limited Warranty,
one (1) year for the NEUTON® Attachments and Accessories, is applicable only to the original owner.
The owner is responsible for the performance of all the required maintenance as defined by the manufacturer's owner
manual.
The owner is responsible for the replacement of normally wearing parts including the Blade, Battery, and the Bagger Mesh
for the Mower and the Cord Spool and Spool Housing for the Trimmer.
During the warranty period, the owner is responsible for all shipping and transportation charges, if required.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON THE LENGTH OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Neuton, Inc. shall not be liable under any circumstances for any incidental or consequential damages or expenses
of any kind, including, but not limited to, cost of equipment rentals, or cost of hiring services to perform tasks

Daily Checklist for your NEUTON Mower
To help maintain your NEUTON Mower for optimum performance, we recommend you follow this
checklist each time you use your machine.
[ ] BATTERY: Make sure the Battery has a full charge.
[ ] CLEAN: Before inserting the Safety Key, inspect the Mower Blade and clean it to remove any
debris (such as grass or twigs) that might be clinging to the Blade from its last use.
For the best performance and longest life of the Blade, it is best to clean the Blade of
any clinging debris after each use. Always follow the safety precautions when
cleaning the Blade.
Make sure the Control Bar is clean and operating smoothly. See page 36.
[ ] NOISES: If you notice anything unusual, such as a vibration or odd sound, shut the Mower
down immediately. Remove the Safety Key and, following all safety procedures,
inspect the Mower Blade and underside of the Mower for any obstructions.
If you cannot find the cause of the problem or are uncertain what to do, then have the
Mower inspected by a qualified repair shop before using it, visit our website at
www.neutonpower.com, or call Neuton, Inc. Technical Support Department, Toll Free,
at 1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661).
[ ] MOWING: If you are uncertain whether the grass you want to cut is too long or thick for optimal
cutting, raise the Blade Height and mow the yard in multiple passes, cutting it slightly
shorter each time. It is best to mow more frequently, rather than let the grass become
excessively long. For the best results, see “Mowing and Lawn Care Tips” in Chapter 4.
We hope you will enjoy many years of satisfied use with your NEUTON Mower.
