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.
