Mowing Advice
When mowing do not allow the motor to labour, particularly in heavy conditions. When
the motor labours the speed of the motor drops and you will hear a change in the motor
sound. If the problem persists, set the cutting height to a higher setting.
Protect the battery from heat, from continuous exposure to sun and keep away from radiation or other
heat sources. Do not leave the battery in the mower in direct sunlight over long periods.
The mower will not function if temperature is below -5ᲇ or above 70ᲇ!

The Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) protects the Lithium-ion battery against deep discharging. When
the battery is run down or discharged, a protective circuit shuts power off to the motor. The motor will
not run and the blade will not rotate until the battery is recharged.
