NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 35
Mower runs, but cutting
performance is unsatis-
factory, or there is a
loss of power
❑ Was the battery fully charged at the start?
❑ The blade may be dull. Remove the safety key and the battery, turn
the mower over, and check the condition of the blade.
❑ The blade may be bent, loose, or damaged. Remove the safety key,
turn the mower over, and check the condition of the blade.
❑ The grass may be too high or too thick for the cutting height. Raise
to a higher cutting height.
Mower is hard to push
❑ The mower is trying to cut too much grass. Raise the cutting height.
❑ The wheels may not be rotating freely. Remove the safety key, turn
the mower over, and check the wheels for damage.
Battery loses its charge
quickly
❑ Was the battery fully charged when you began? Charge the battery
if necessary.
❑ The grass may be too high or too thick. Try raising the cutting
height, or mowing a narrower swath.
❑ The battery may be getting old. After some time, usually a few
years, the battery will need to be replaced.
Mower does not finish
cutting lawn on a single
charge any more
❑ Was the battery fully charged at the start?
❑ The blade may be dull. Sharpen it.
Mower rear bagger is
collecting grass poorly
❑ The rear bagger is full. Empty the rear bagger, and clean it if
necessary.
❑ The grass is too long, or the mower is cutting too low. Raise the
cutting height.
❑ The mower is moving too fast. Slow down.
❑ The rear discharge plate may be clogged. Remove the safety key,
turn the mower over, and clean away any debris from the rear dis-
charge plate and below the deck.
❑ Are you using correct blade for mulching or cutting? Is the correct
side of the blade facing up? Remove the safety key, turn the mower
over, and check the blade.
❑ The blade may be loose. Remove the safety key and the battery,
turn the mower over, and check that the blade is tightly attached.
❑ The blade may be unbalanced, bent, or damaged. Remove the
safety key, turn the mower over, remove the blade, and check its
condition. Replace with a new blade if necessary.
