NOTICE
To reduce the risk of damaging the lawn mower, never
attempt to lift, carry or transport the lawn mower by the
cutting height adjustment lever.
NOTICE
To avoid overloading the motor, avoid setting the cutting
height too low in tall grass. If the motor speed begins to slow,
raise the cutting height.

18.2 Activating ECO Mode

When the ECO mode is selected, the mower operates at a
lower RPM for situations requiring less power. This
increases energy efficiency and battery runtime.
