Product Information

Full details

The Bosch Rotak 18V2-43 is a powerful cordless lawnmower designed for homeowners with medium to larger-sized lawns. It offers the convenience of cordless operation with the performance of a 36V system, achieved through its twin 18V battery setup. A key benefit is its efficient cutting and ease of use, including a magnetic deflector for simple grass bag emptying and a telescopic handle for comfortable operation. However, users should be aware that this model is a 'bare unit,' meaning batteries and a charger are sold separately, which adds to the overall cost if not already part of the Bosch Power For All system.

Troubleshooting

Mower won't start

Ensure both batteries are correctly inserted and fully charged. Check that the safety key is in place. Verify that the grass bag is properly attached, as some models have a safety interlock.

Uneven cut quality

Adjust the cutting height to a suitable level. Ensure the blade is clean and free from debris. Check for any obstructions or damage to the blade. Ensure grass combs are clear.

Mower stops during use

This could be due to overheating or a depleted battery. Allow the mower to cool down if it feels hot. Check battery charge levels and replace or recharge as needed. Clear any blockages in the cutting deck or grass chute.

Grass bag not emptying efficiently

Ensure the grass bag is not overfilled. Check the grass chute and the deflector guard for blockages. The magnetic deflector guard may need to be repositioned for optimal flow.
