OVERLOAD AND OVERHEAT 

PROTECTION

The product has an overload protection device. 

When overloading is detected, the product 

automatically turns off. If the overload protector 

is actuated, the on/off lever must be released. 

Press the start button, and squeeze the on/off 

lever to restart the product. If the product still 

does not start, reinstall the battery pack.
The battery pack has overheat protection. 

Excessive temperatures will cause the battery

pack is too warm, allow it to cool down before 

resuming operation. If the product still does not 

work, recharge the battery.

NOTE:

 The battery pack LED indicator will

Release the start button and keep squeezing 

the on/off lever to run the blade. Release the 

on/off lever to stop the blade.

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.

 

A higher cutting height extends the run time 

of the battery pack.
