GENERAL MOWING TIPS

The run time of the battery depends on the
condition, length, and density of the grass.
Adjust the cutting height of the lawn mower to
suit the current condition of the lawn.

* battery: RB18L40
For best performance, always cut off one-
third or less of the total height of the grass.
When cutting long grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting
and a proper discharge of the clippings.
Do not cut wet grass; it will stick to the
underside of the deck and prevent proper
collection or discharge of grass clippings.
New or thick grass may require a higher
cutting height.
If you wish to collect the grass cuttings
for disposal, remove the mulching plug
and fit the grass catcher making sure the
grass discharge chute cover is properly
closed. Empty the grass catcher regularly;
otherwise, the discharge chute will become
blocked with grass cuttings.
If you are making a light cut and wish
for the grass cuttings to remain on the
lawn, fit the mulching plug and close the
grass discharge chute cover to cover the
discharge opening. It is not necessary to fit
the grass catcher in this case.

A higher cutting height will extend the run
time of the battery.
