6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EGO POWER+ Z6 Zero Turn Riding Lawn Mower, refer to the following general troubleshooting tips. For more detailed solutions, consult the full user manual or contact customer support.

• Mower not starting: Ensure batteries are fully charged and properly seated. Check that the key is inserted and the safety interlocks (e.g., seat switch, control bars) are engaged.
• Reduced runtime: Verify batteries are fully charged. Mowing in thick or wet grass, or at higher blade speeds, can reduce runtime.
• Uneven cut: Inspect blades for sharpness and damage. Ensure the cutting deck is level and the cutting height is set appropriately for grass conditions.
• Unusual noise or vibration: Immediately turn off the mower and remove batteries. Inspect the cutting deck for debris or damaged blades. Do not operate if unusual noises persist.
