3.3 Mowing Techniques

For best results, mow in overlapping rows. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time. For thick or tall grass, consider making two passes, raising the cutting height for the first pass.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the Mower

After each use, disconnect the safety key and remove the batteries. Clean the underside of the mower deck and the grass collection bag to prevent buildup of grass clippings. Use a brush or cloth; avoid using water directly on electrical components.

4.2 Blade Care

Regularly inspect the mowing blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to poor cutting performance and strain the motor. Sharpen or replace the blade as necessary. Always wear heavy-duty gloves when handling the blade.

4.3 Battery Care and Storage

Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store batteries in a discharged state for extended periods. Always charge batteries fully before storing them for the off-season.

4.4 Storage

The MYTOL lawn mower features folding handles for compact storage. Loosen the quick-release levers on the handlebars and fold them down. Store the mower in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
