Product Information

Full details

The Makita DLM481CT2 is a self-propelled cordless lawn mower designed for homeowners with medium to large lawns (up to 800 m²). Its key benefit is the self-propelled function, significantly reducing user effort during mowing. A potential consideration is the reliance on two charged 18V batteries for operation. This 36V mower offers efficient cutting with a 480mm cutting width, extended runtime thanks to two 5.0Ah Li-ion batteries, and convenient features like mulching capability and a 62-liter grass catcher.

FAQs

How long do the batteries typically last on a single charge?

Runtime varies based on grass length, density, and terrain. However, with two 5.0Ah batteries, the mower is designed to cover lawns up to 800 m².

Can I use a single battery to operate the mower?

No, this mower requires two 18V LXT batteries to operate at its intended 36V power level.

What is the warranty period for the Makita DLM481CT2?

> Info needed: Warranty period for the Makita DLM481CT2.

How do I switch between mowing and mulching?

To mulch, insert the included mulching plug into the rear discharge chute. To collect grass, remove the mulching plug and attach the grass catcher.

Is the mower water-resistant?

The cutting deck is water-resistant, allowing for cleaning with water. However, avoid submerging the mower or spraying water directly onto electrical components or battery housing.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule?

Regular cleaning after use is essential. Inspect the blade for sharpness and damage periodically. Batteries should be stored and charged according to manufacturer guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Mower does not start

Ensure both batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety key is in place and the lock-off lever is engaged.

Reduced cutting performance

Check for blockages in the cutting deck or grass catcher. Ensure the blade is sharp and undamaged. Clean the underside of the deck.

Self-propelled function not engaging

Verify that the drive lever or control is properly activated. Check for any debris obstructing the drive mechanism.

Mower stops unexpectedly

This could be due to overheating or a low battery charge. Allow the mower to cool down and ensure batteries are adequately charged. Check for motor overload caused by thick grass.
