MOWING AND LAWN CARE TiPS
* 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 I 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.
