Troubleshooting
Mower not starting
Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the mower and a working mains outlet. Check that the safety-switch power lever is being fully engaged. Verify the circuit breaker or fuse for the power outlet has not tripped.
Poor cutting performance
Check if the cutting height is set too low for the grass length. Ensure the grass collection box is not overfilled and is properly attached. Inspect the blade for dullness or damage and clean away any packed grass clippings from under the deck.
Mower stops during use
This could be due to the motor overheating or a safety cutout. Allow the mower to cool down. Check for blockages causing the motor to work too hard. Ensure the power supply is stable.
Grass clippings not being collected
Confirm the grass collection box is correctly fitted. Check if the box is full and needs emptying. Clear any obstructions between the cutting deck and the inlet to the collection box.
