Gardena 380 AC Function, Operation, Starting the cylinder, Mower Automatically, Upright

4. Function

Mowing correctly:To produce a well-maintained lawn we recommend cutting the lawn one a week if possible. The lawn becomes thicker if cut frequently.

Relatively long cut grass (> 1 cm) must be removed so that the lawn does not become yellow and matted.

After relatively long intervals between mowing (holiday lawn), up to max. 12 cm, first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height as high as possible, then cut in the crosswise direction at the cutting height required.

If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp, the cutting pattern will be uneven.

The area of lawn you can mow with one charged accu depends on the height and thickness of the lawn, i.e. the taller and thicker the lawn, the smaller the area of lawn you can mow with one fully charged Accu.

If the red LED (Accu flat) goes on, the Accu must be charged.

The Accu cover must always be kept closed during mowing. The Accu becomes warm when using the cylinder mower. This is normal and does not impair its performance.

Blockage protection: If the cylinder mower is blocked by a foreign body or the motor is overloaded (red Error-LED lights up), the motor is automatically switched off by the blockage protection (loud rattling). Remove key from socket, remove foreign body or rectify the cause of the overloading and restart the mower after a few seconds.
