Operation
1. TIPS for the use of this battery-powered mower
Under normal conditions, the battery should run for approximately 30 minutes per single charge.
This operation time and the area that can be mowed by this battery-powered mower is dependent on
various factors. These are:
Figure 6
Type of lawn
Battery-powered lawnmowers are suitable for lawns which are mowed frequently, for example, Battery-powered
mowers are not suitable for infrequently-mowed meadows or similar. To produce a well-maintained lawn, we
recommend mowing the lawn as often as you can, once a week if possible, so that you are only cutting 1 to 2
inches (20mm to 50mm) of grass each mowing session
（
see figure 6
）
. Trying to cut more than 2 inches (50mm)
will drastically reduce the charge life of the battery and quality of the cut. After relatively long intervals between
mowing (holiday lawn), first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height as high as possible, then cut in the
crosswise direction at the cutting height required.
Lawn structure
The area that can be mowed decreases in proportion to the density of the grass. The mowing capability is lowest
on extremely dense grass (e. g. golf greens) which is not suitable for battery-powered lawn mowers to mow.
Lawn condition
The length of time that the mower‘s battery can hold its charge while mowing a lawn 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 around 30 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 1 to 2
inches (20 mm to 50mm) of grass at a time
（
see figure 6
）
. Cut thicker grass at a higher cutting height, or cut a
narrower swath. Do not force the mower forward in tall, thick or wet grass.
Mowing / walking speed
The walking speed influences the duration of mowing and therefore the area that can be covered. We therefore
recommend mowing at a steady pace. To avoid damage and extend battery life, always mow at a speed which
allows the motor to run smoothly. The mowing path should not be covered twice if possible and the overlap of
mowing tracks should be kept as minimal as possible. Frequently switching the mower on and off likewise
decreases the battery‗s power. Try to work continuously and smoothly when mowing.
Blade sharpness
Keep your mower blade sharp! A sharp mower 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 the dull blade is being sharpened.
