5.3 Mowing Modes (2-in-1 Versatility)

Your Maxlander lawn mower offers two mowing options:

  • Mulching: For mulching, ensure the grass collection bag is removed and the mulching plug (if included) is properly installed. This mode finely chops grass clippings and returns them to the lawn as natural fertilizer.
  • Rear Bagging: For collecting clippings, ensure the grass collection bag is securely attached. The mower will direct clippings into the 30L bag. Empty the bag regularly to maintain optimal performance.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lawn mower. This walk-behind lawn mower is designed to be virtually maintenance-free, requiring no gas, no oil, and producing no emissions.

  • Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the battery and clean the mower deck, blade, and grass collection bag. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use water jets or immerse the mower in water.
  • Blade Inspection: Periodically inspect the cutting blade for sharpness and damage. A dull or damaged blade can affect cutting performance and mower efficiency. Replace the blade if necessary.
  • Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Charge the battery fully before long-term storage and recharge every few months to maintain battery health.
