MULCHING MOWING TIPS
While mulching, your new mower is designed to cut
the grass clippings into small pieces and distribute
them back into the lawn. Under normal conditions,
the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly and deliver
nutrients to the lawn. Please review the following
recommendations for optimum mulching performance.
1) Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from rain or
dew. Wet grass may form clumps which interfere
with the mulching action and reduce the runtime.
The best time to mow the grass is in the late
afternoon when the grass is dry and the newly cut
area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
2) For the best mulching performance, set the cutting
height to remove about one third of the grass blade
length, ideally no more than 40mm at one time. If the
lawn is overgrown, it may be necessary to increase
the cutting height to reduce the pushing effort
and prevent overloading the motor. For extremely
heavy mulching, it is advisable to rst cut at a high
cut height setting, and then re-cut to the nal cut
height. Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow
slowly.
3) For the best performance, keep the mower housing
free of built-up grass. From time to time turn
off mower and wait for the blades to come to a
complete stop. Then remove the batteries and turn
mower on its side. Using an object such as a stick,
wipe out any accumulation of grass around the
blade area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the
blade. Ensure to clean the blade area often when
cutting wet or new grass and every time after the
machine is used.
4) Certain types of grass or grass conditions may
require that an area be mulched a second time
to fully disperse the grass throughout the lawn.
If cutting a second time, it is advisable to cut
perpendicular (across) the rst cut pattern. DO NOT
CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD
CAUSE MOWING DOWN A HILL.
5) Change your cutting pattern from week to week.
This will help prevent matting and graining of the
lawn.
6) Do not mow on a slope that has an angle of greater
than 15
o
.
CUTTING AREA
The cutting area can be affected by several factors,
such as cutting height, lawn humidity, grass length and
density. Besides, starting and stopping the mower too
many times during operation will reduce the cutting
area.
It is ideal for mowing 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre lot sizes.
TIPS:
1) It is recommended to mow your lawn more
frequently, walk at normal pace, and not to start/
stop the mower too often during operation.
2) For best performance, please ensure use fully
charged battery pack(s) and always cut off 1/3 or
less of the grass height.
3) Walk slowly when cutting long grass, so as to have
more effective cutting and properly discharge the
clippings.
4) Avoid cutting wet grass, otherwise it will stick to
the underside of the deck and the clippings cannot
be collected or discharged properly.
5) A higher cutting height shall be applied to new or
thick grass and it will extend the battery duration.
Adjusting the cutting height (See Fig. I)
Press and hold Cutting-height adjustment lever. Adjust
the cutting height up and down.
WARNING! Stop, release operating bail and wait
until the motor stops before adjusting height. The
blades continue to rotate after the machine is switched
off, a rotating blade can cause injury. Do not touch
rotating blades.
Opening the Led headlight (See Fig. J)
Press the switch button for Led headlight.
Removing/emptying grass collection bag (See Fig. K1,
K2)
WARNING! Always check the safety ap close
the discharge outlet before using. Never lift the
safety ap when the lawn mower is being used without
tted grass collection bag.
AFTER OPERATION:
STORAGE (See Fig. L1, L2)
Stop the mower and always remove the batteries.
Clean the exterior of the machine thoroughly using
a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water, solvents or
polishes. Remove all grass and debris, especially from
the ventilation slots.
Turn the machine on its side and clean the blade area.
If grass cuttings are compacted in the blade area,
remove with a wooden or plastic implement.
Store the machine in a dry place. Do not place other
objects on top of the machine.
To aid storage, Press and hold quick-release button and
fold the handle bar.
