GENERAL MOWING TIPS

The run time of the battery depends on the 

condition, length, and density of the grass.
Adjust the cutting height of the lawn mower to 

suit the current condition of the lawn.

■

For best performance, always cut off one-

third or less of the total height of the grass.

■

When cutting long grass, reduce walking 

speed to allow for more effective cutting 

and a proper discharge of the clippings.

■

Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the 

underside of the deck and prevent proper 

collection or discharge of grass clippings.

■

New or thick grass may require a higher 

cutting height.

■

If you wish to collect the grass cuttings for 

disposal, remove the mulching plug and fit 

the grass catcher making sure the top flap 

is properly closed. Empty the grass catcher 

regularly; otherwise, the discharge chute 

will become blocked with grass cuttings.

■

If you are making a light cut and wish for 

the grass cuttings to remain on the lawn, 

fit the mulching plug and close the top flap 

to cover the discharge opening. It is not 

necessary to fit the grass catcher in this 

case.

■

The product is designed to operate and cut 

most effectively when moving forwards.

■

A higher cutting height will extend the run 

time of the battery.
