Mowing Tips

Battery Run Time
With a battery powered lawn mower, the condition of
the grass and the way that you mow the grass will
affect the how long the battery will run on a single
charge at each mowing.
The following are some things that will affect battery
run time:
Moisture content of grass – The more moisture
there is in the grass, the faster the battery will
run down.
Walking/mowing speed – The faster you walk,
the faster the battery will run down.
Mode of operation – Mulching grass requires the
most battery energy. Bagging requires the second
highest amount of battery energy and side
discharging uses the least.
Height-of-cut setting – If you are experiencing
problems with the battery running down too fast,
try raising the height-of-cut setting one notch.
General Mulching Tips
Your mower is designed to mulch grass when the
mulch door is completely closed (Fig. 7). Follow
these instructions whether cutting grass or leaves for
the best cutting results and lawn appearance:
