Tips to use the mower

  • If grass residue is left in the discharge opening, pull the mower backwards about 1 m so that the grass residue can drop out downwards.
  • To produce a well-maintained lawn, we recommend to cut the lawn regularly once a week if possible. The lawn becomes denser if you cut it frequently.
  • After relatively long cutting intervals (holiday lawn), first of all cut in one direction with the highest cutting height and then cut in the crosswise direction with the required cutting height. This prevents a possible block-age of the blade by too much grass residue.
  • If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp, the cutting pattern will be uneven.

Cutting performance and battery charge

The lawn area which can be cut on each battery charge depends on several factors such as moisture, grass density and cutting height. In order to ensure an optimal use of space, do not turn the mower on and off too frequently as this severely reduces the battery running time. The cutting performance for each battery charge can be ideally utilised by increasing the cutting height and frequent mowing.

Lawn area per battery charge

  • System Battery 4.0 Ah max. 150 m²
  • System Battery 5.0 Ah max. 190 m²
  • System Battery 6.0 Ah max. 225 m²
