STARTING MOWER

• For best results, mow at a steady pace. If you

try to walk too quickly, especially in tall or

thick grass, the quality of the cut may not

be uniform. To avoid damage and extend

battery life, always mow at a pace which

allows the motor to run smoothly.

• The length of time that the mower’s battery

can hold its charge while mowing a lawn

depends upon lawn conditions; tall, thick, or

damp grass make the mower work harder,

causing the battery to discharge faster.

Under normal mowing conditions the run

time is between 45 and 60 minutes. To mow

longer, consider purchasing a second battery

and keep it fully charged.

• Before starting the mower, adjust the cutting

height so that you only cut 1 to 2 inches of

grass at a time. Cut thicker grass at a higher

cutting height, or cut a narrower swath. Do

not force the mower forward in thick grass;

rather cut it with a couple of passes. Your

Remington brand mower will do a better and

safer job when cutting at a steady pace.

• Mowing dense grasses, such as St. Augus-

tine or Bermuda grass, requires more power

to cut properly. For these grasses it may be

necessary to move more slowly to ensure a

quality cut.

• Mow as often as needed so that you are only

cutting 1 to 2 inches of grass each mowing

session. Trying to cut more than 2 inches

will drastically reduce the charge life of the

battery and quality of the cut.

• For the healthiest lawn, avoid removing

more than one third of the leaf blade dur-

ing any one mowing session. When more

than one third of the leaf blade is removed,

the grass plant produces less food for itself

and therefore becomes weaker and more

susceptible to disease and insect damage.

• Frequent stopping and restarting of the

mower will use additional battery energy.

Try to work continuously and smoothly

when mowing.

• Keep your mower blade sharp. A sharp

mower blade cuts the grass quickly and

cleanly, using less of the mower’s power,

which conserves battery life. For best

results, inspect the blade often and have

an extra, sharp blade ready to install as a

replacement while the dull blade is being

sharpened.

• Mow across slopes; never up and down.

MOWING AND LAWN CARE TIPS

Always unplug mower and re-

move safety key before placing

hands near the blade. Always

wear gloves to protect your

hands from the sharp edges of

the blade.

WARNING

The cutting blade always turns

when the motor is running: there

is no clutch to allow the blade to

stop rotating while the motor is

running.

WARNING

The mower blade will coast to

a stop once the motor is turned

off. Severe injury could result as

long as blades are turning.

WARNING

Starting, stopping, and restart-

ing an electric motor repeatedly

within a few seconds can gen-

erate a lot of heat and damage

the motor. To protect the life of

your mower, always wait at least

ﬁ ve (5) seconds after stopping

before restarting the mower.

CAUTION

STOPPING MOWER

1. Release the bail handle to stop mower

motor (see Figure 24).

2. Remove key (see Figure 25).

3. Recharge the battery after each use, no

matter how short a time it was used.

See Rechargeable Battery.
