SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (FIG. E)
To raise and lower the mower’s cutting blade, set the blade height adjustment lever into the preferred height (Fig. E).
The lower notches closer to the front side of the wheel bring the blade lower to the ground. The lowest notch (Fig.
E) represents a 1.5-inch cutting height. The highest notch coincides with a 4-inch cutting height.
ATTACH/REMOVE THE BATTERY (FIG. F)
NOTE:
The battery is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Before using the mower for the first time, place the
battery in the charger and charge it fully.
The WEN 40V Lawn Mower is equipped with two slots for batteries. Open the clear lid to reveal slots for both bat-
teries. To insert the battery, slide it into one of the two slots until it clicks into place. Make sure the battery is fully
inserted and latched into position. To remove the battery, press the release tab and slide the battery out of the lawn
mower.
There are battery meters available on both the batteries themselves as well as on the back side of the battery holder.
If you are curious as to the remaining life of a battery, press the indication button on either of these battery meters.
