4.3 Mowing Tips
This mower features a 2-in-1 system for mulching or rear bagging.
- Mulching: For mulching, ensure the rear bag is removed and the mulching plug (if applicable) is inserted. Mulching returns fine grass clippings to the lawn as natural fertilizer.
- Rear Bagging: For collecting clippings, ensure the grass bag is properly attached and the mulching plug is removed. Empty the bag regularly to maintain optimal collection performance.
- Overlap Passes: For an even cut, overlap each mowing pass by a few inches.
- Avoid Wet Grass: Do not mow wet grass, as it can clog the mower and reduce cutting efficiency.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your lawn mower.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the mower deck and exterior with a damp cloth. Remove any grass clippings or debris from the blade area. Always remove the battery before cleaning.
- Blade Inspection: Periodically inspect the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can lead to an uneven cut and strain the motor. Replace the blade if necessary.
- Storage: Store the mower in a dry, well-ventilated area. The handles can be collapsed for compact storage. Remove batteries before long-term storage.
