Tips to use the mower:
If grass residue is left in the discharge opening, pull the mower backwards
about 1 m so that the grass residue can drop out downwards.
To produce a well-maintained lawn, we recommend to cut the lawn
regularly once a week if possible. The lawn becomes denser if you cut it
frequently.
After relatively long cutting intervals (holiday lawn), first of all cut in one
direction with the highest cutting height and then cut in the crosswise
direction with the required cutting height.
If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp, the
cutting pattern will be uneven.
Cutting performance and battery charge:
The lawn area which can be cut on each battery charge depends on
several factors such as moisture, grass density and cutting height. In order
to ensure an optimal use of space, do not turn the mower on and off too
frequently as this severely reduces the battery running time. The cutting
performance for each battery charge can be ideally utilised by increasing
the cutting height and frequent mowing.
4. MAINTENANCE
