Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Rotak 18V2-38 Twin Cordless Lawnmower is designed for homeowners with medium to larger-sized lawns seeking a powerful, convenient, and eco-friendly mowing solution. Its key benefit lies in the dual 18V battery system delivering 36V power for robust performance and extended runtime, comparable to petrol mowers, without the emissions or noise. A potential caveat for some users might be the initial investment in the twin battery system and charger.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for the Bosch Rotak 18V2-38?

The standard warranty period is typically two years for the tool and batteries, though this can sometimes be extended through product registration on the Bosch website.

Can I use a single 18V battery instead of two?

No, this model is designed to operate with two 18V batteries to achieve 36V power. Using only one battery will significantly reduce performance and may not allow the mower to operate correctly.

How long does it take to charge the 4.0Ah batteries?

Charging times can vary depending on the charger model and battery status, but typically, a 4.0Ah battery can be fully charged in approximately 60-90 minutes with the included dual chargers.

Is this mower suitable for hilly terrain?

Yes, the cordless design offers good maneuverability on slopes. However, always exercise caution and ensure stable footing when mowing on uneven or hilly ground.

How do I maintain the blade?

Regularly inspect the blade for sharpness and any signs of damage. It is recommended to have the blade sharpened or replaced annually, or more frequently if used heavily, to ensure optimal cutting performance. Always disconnect batteries before performing maintenance.

Can I use batteries from other Bosch 18V tools?

Yes, as long as they are Bosch 18V batteries from the POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE system, they should be compatible. However, ensure they are of sufficient capacity (Ah) for optimal runtime.

What happens if one battery runs out before the other?

The mower will continue to run on the remaining battery, but with significantly reduced power and runtime. It is best to have both batteries fully charged for consistent performance.

Troubleshooting

Mower does not start

Ensure both batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety key is in place and the start lever is engaged. Clean battery contacts if dirty.

Poor cutting performance

Check the blade for sharpness and damage; sharpen or replace if necessary. Ensure the cutting height is not set too low for the grass conditions. Clean grass build-up from the deck and blade.

Grass bag not filling effectively

Ensure the grass bag is correctly attached. Check for blockages in the discharge chute or within the bag. Empty the bag when it is full.

Mower stops during operation

This could be due to overheating or low battery charge. Allow the mower to cool down. Ensure batteries are sufficiently charged. Check for obstructions around the blade that might cause overload.

Reduced runtime

Batteries may be aging or not fully charging. Ensure chargers are functioning correctly and batteries are stored at optimal temperatures. Grass conditions (length, density) significantly impact runtime.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides the power of a 36V system with the convenience of cordless operation.
  • Longer runtime thanks to the dual battery setup and efficient motor.
  • Excellent for achieving neat edges and clean finishes along borders.
  • Compact and easy to store, suitable for various storage spaces.
  • Reduced noise and zero emissions compared to petrol mowers.
  • Compatible with a broad ecosystem of POWER FOR ALL tools.

Cons

  • Requires two batteries and chargers, increasing initial cost.
  • May be heavier than some single-battery cordless mowers.
  • The 38cm cutting width might be smaller than some users prefer for very large areas.
  • Battery life can vary significantly depending on grass conditions and cutting height.
  • Requires regular charging of both batteries for optimal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure both 18V batteries are fully charged using the provided chargers.
  2. Insert the charged batteries into the designated battery compartments on the mower until they click securely.
  3. Assemble the handle if necessary, following the included instructions.
  4. Adjust the cutting height to your desired setting using the central lever.

Compatibility:

  • The mower uses Bosch 18V POWER FOR ALL batteries. This system is compatible with over 150 tools from Bosch and other POWER FOR ALL alliance brands (e.g., Gardena, Flymo, Steinel).
  • Ensure you use the correct Bosch 18V batteries and chargers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the mower deck, blade, and grass collector. Use a stiff brush or damp cloth to remove grass clippings and debris. Never use water to clean the motor housing or electrical components.
  • Blade Maintenance: Inspect the blade regularly for damage. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed to maintain optimal cutting performance. Refer to the manual for safe blade removal and reinstallation procedures.
  • Storage: Fold the handle and store the mower vertically in a dry, protected area, such as a shed or garage. Remove batteries before long-term storage and store them separately in a cool, dry place.
  • Battery Care: Avoid exposing batteries to extreme temperatures. Recharge batteries when indicated low, but do not overcharge. Regularly check battery contacts for dirt and clean if necessary.
