At the start of the season, you will want to make sure the battery is fully charged before using it for the first time.
Cub Cadet’s Lithium-ion electric riding lawn mowers are engineered to handle cutting in damp or moist grass conditions. Like other outdoor power equipment, the mower should not be operated in the rain, taken through heavily saturated areas or stored outside.
