Re 3) lawn condition
The lawn condition (dry, deqry, wet) makes a considerable difference to the mowing capacity. The greatest area can be mown when the grass
is dry. If the lawn is wet, most of the energy is spent on cutting and collecting, leading to a correspondingly low mowing capavility.
Re 4) mowing/walking speed
The walking speed influences the duration of mowing and therefore the area that can be covered. We therefore recommend rapid mowing.
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.
Other instructions
Always ensure that the battery-powered mower’s cutter is sharp (have sharpened by a specialist or replace).
Mowers with lead batteries must be charged before being put into storage for winter, and also after each mowing.
