Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Rotak 18V-32 Cordless Lawnmower is ideal for homeowners with small to medium-sized lawns seeking a convenient and efficient way to maintain their grass. Its key benefit is the powerful yet efficient Brushless motor combined with Syneon technology for optimal runtime and performance, allowing for a neat finish with minimal effort. A potential caveat is its 32cm cutting width, which may require more passes for larger lawns. This 3-in-1 mower offers cutting, mulching, and collection capabilities, featuring GrassCombs for precise edge trimming, adjustable cutting heights, and space-saving storage.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Bosch Rotak 18V-32?

The standard Bosch warranty typically applies. For detailed information, please refer to the product manual or the official Bosch website.

How long does the 4.0Ah battery last on a single charge?

Runtime varies based on grass conditions, cutting height, and usage. However, the Syneon technology is designed to optimize runtime for tasks on small to medium-sized lawns.

Can I use other Bosch 18V batteries with this mower?

Yes, any Bosch 18V battery from the POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE is compatible with this mower, provided it has sufficient capacity for the task.

Is this mower suitable for large gardens?

The Rotak 18V-32 is designed for small to medium-sized lawns due to its 32cm cutting width. For larger areas, a mower with a wider cutting deck would be more efficient.

How do I switch between cutting and mulching modes?

To mulch, insert the provided mulch plug into the rear discharge chute. For collection, remove the mulch plug and attach the grass bag.

What maintenance is required for the brushless motor?

Brushless motors are low-maintenance. Regular cleaning of the mower and ensuring good airflow are the primary care requirements.

Can I store the mower outdoors?

No, the mower should be stored in a dry, protected environment like a shed or garage to prevent damage from weather elements.

Troubleshooting

Mower does not start

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety key is fully inserted and the start lever is engaged.

Uneven cutting or poor performance

Verify the cutting height is set correctly. Check the blade for damage or dullness and sharpen or replace if necessary. Ensure the grass bag is not overfilled, as this can impede airflow.

Mower stops during use

The battery may be depleted; allow it to recharge. Check for any blockages in the cutting deck or grass chute that could be causing the motor to overheat or stall.

Grass clippings not being collected effectively

Ensure the grass bag is properly attached and not full. Check for blockages in the grass chute. Avoid cutting very wet or long grass, as this can overload the collection system.
