Mowing and Lawn Care Tips

For best mowing results, use the following tips:

Extend battery life - and create a uniform cut.

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 allowing the Motor to run smoothly.

Battery run time depends on lawn length and moisture.

The length of time that the Battery can hold a charge while mowing 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 forty-five (45) and sixty (60) minutes. To mow longer, consider purchasing a second Battery and keep it fully charged.

For thicker grass, cut narrower swaths at a higher cutting height.

Before starting the Mower, adjust the Cutting Height so that you only cut one (1) to two (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 Neuton Mower will do a better and safer job when cutting at a steady pace.

Dense grasses require a slower, even pace.

Mowing dense grasses, such as St. Augustine 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.

Raise mow deck and cut often as needed.

Mow as often as needed so that you are only cutting one (1) to two (2) inches of grass each mowing session. Trying to cut more than two (2) inches at a time will drastically reduce the charge life of the Battery and quality of the cut.

Leave no less than 1/3 of the leaf blade for thick, healthy lawn.

For the healthiest lawn, avoid removing more than one third (1/3) of the leaf blade during any one (1) mowing session. When more than one third (1/3) 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.

Continuous mowing will reduce the pull on the mower battery.

Frequent stopping and restarting of the Mower will use additional Battery energy. Try to work continuously and smoothly when mowing.
