Operation

General information on handling the
lawnmower
The run time of the battery depends on several factors:
 The condition, length and density of the grass
 The cutting height setting
The maximum surface performance, depending on the
state of the grass, with a 5 Ah battery pack:
2
approx. 350 m .
The results of the mowing process can be optimised as
follows:
 Cut at a maximum of one third of the grass height.
 Reduce the speed at which push the device when
mowing tall grass.
Note
Do not mow wet grass. Wet grass sticks to the under-
side of the lawnmower and prevents correct collection of
the grass in the grass catcher or ejection of the grass.
