                A:  Used the curbside pick up, great service by the team

                by|Oct 26, 2022

                A:  This is a cordless mower powered by lithium batteries.  Because there is no cord it makes it very nice to operate not having to drag a cord atriums your yard.  I have mowed my one acre grass with this mower for two years.  I’ll never go back to grass. I like the battery mower so much o bought a Tesla. I really enjoy mowing especially with the 3M radio headset I got from Home Depot too!

                    Answer This Question

                    A:  It runs about 45 minutes to an hour. Enough to cut my lawn unless I let my grass grow more than 6 days during the summer

                    by|Oct 22, 2022

                      A:  I am not sure on actual timing. I use this mostly to mow up close to the house, under the deck and trees, and ac unit. I am able to mow all of that and still have half a charge left. I would say it’s roughly 1/4 and acre for the area I use this mower for so I am sure it can mow a 1/2 acre on a full charge.

                          A:  I haven't had that problem, but it may have something to do with the handle being properly locked  and extended, and the grass catcher properly attached. If they aren't it will shut off if they are loose. Or the battery isnt fully locked in place.

                            A:  Make sure the mulching panel is on correctly. It happened to me too.

                            by|Sep 2, 2022

                              A:  Hi, I had similar issues when I purchased mine. I realize that the handle should be fully extended at all times by making sure you lock it in place. Once I did that, it doesn’t shut down anymore

                                A:  Hello, Befuddled - Thank you for your interest in the 40V Brushless 20 in. Cordless Walk Behind Self-Propelled Lawn Mower with 6.0 Ah Battery & Charger. I am sorry to hear that. This issue is most commonly caused by the cutting height being set too low. I would recommend raising the cutting height to see if that solves the problem. If not then I would recommend taking it to a service center. You can locate a service center using the following link; https://support.ryobitools.com/support/service-centers  Additionally, if you need further support, then a RYOBI Customer Experience Professional is here for you, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 6 pm (EST) when you call or text us at 1.800.525.2579 or through email or live chat when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.

                                  A:  The first thing I would check is to see if the latches that keep the handles extended are securely latched. There is a safety feature that shuts down the mower if the right handle isn't fully extended. The second thing to look at is the discharge device. Mack sure it is making good contact with the mounting clip. There is another safety feature that will not let the mower run without one of the discharge devices attached. (Mulching plug, bagger, or side discharge device.)
