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.
