I'm probably biased but I've been running one for about 30 years with 
almost no problems beyond the mower motor plugs "wearing out".  So. been 
replaced with screw terminal strips.  The clutch has to be depressed to 
start the drive motor, the mowers can only be started when the drive is 
running, the mower switch is a momentary contact to start, then drops to 
center, push down to shut off - which is a 'plugging' stop for quick 
blade stop.  If you just turn off the key the mowers will coast out.

Front wheels will wear on the axle, just a solid bearing there, ok if 
kept greased.  Charger timer has died on mine, very specific type that 
has a dual function, knob set for charging with an automatic 10 minute 
per day upkeep charge - the charger should be kept plugged in even tho 
charging is complete. 

Dunno about manuals, I've seen them on e-bay, only have an owners manual.
