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.
