This Manual is intended to provide service dealers with
an introduction to the electrical and mechanical
aspects of the new cordless electric mower for both
MTD and Cub Cadet.
Disclaimer: This manual was written using a pilot unit.
The information contained in this manual is correct at
the time of writing. Both the product and the informa-
tion about the product are subject to change without

This manual covers the newly designed third genera-
tion of 19” DC powered (cordless) electric mowers. The
mower is to be designated 18A-188-xxx and is to be
introduced during the 2007-2008 season.
MTD Products has made two previous models of cord-
less mowers. The first model was produced from 1995
to 1997. it was designated 185-708-xxx, 186-708-xxx
and 18A-708-xxx. The second model was produced in
the same time period. The model numbers were 185-
798-xxx, 186-798-xxx and 18A-798-xxx.
The first model used a bail operated switch and the
second used a lever operated switch. Very few parts
are interchangeable between the mowers.
The electrical theory is the same for all three models of
cordless mower. However the test procedures will vary
between the different generations. The service proce-
dures for the first two models of cordless mower can be
found in the 1996 Service Update Seminar Book (form
number 770-8877L).
