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 lawnmower 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.
■ To collect the grass cuttings for disposal,
remove the mulching plug and fit the
grass catcher, making sure that the
grass discharge chute cover 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
grass discharge chute cover 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 extends the run
time of the battery.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■ Turn off the product, and remove the
isolator key and the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop. Allow the product to cool
down before storing or transporting.
■ Clean all foreign materials from the product.
Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-
ventilated place that is inaccessible to
children. Keep the product away from
corrosive agents such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts. Do not store the product
outdoors.
■ For transportation in vehicles, remove
the isolator key, and secure the product
against movement or falling to prevent
injury to persons or damage to the product.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting
the product for maintenance, cleaning,
storage, or transportation. The blade is
