    A:  Best of luck, I've tried calling Ryobi, waited 1.5 hours to only be disconnected by the unintelligible call center person. Additionally, no one responds to their customer service emails. I guess we should have purchased EGO.

      Q:What does the lifetime warranty on the deck cover? Does it cover damage/wear/breakage to the wheel axle holes, fasteners, etc.?

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello, Joel - The lifetime warranty is governed by the same stipulations in the mower's warranty. However, unlike the mower's warranty, which is a 5-year one, the deck has a lifetime warranty. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone or text at 1.800.525.2579, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.

                A:  Hello, Jackie - This lawnmower runs off one battery at a time. When the first runs out, you can easily switch to the second by raising the battery cover, removing the key and rotating it 180 degrees, and reinserting it. The arrow on the key should point to the battery in use. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.

                  A:  Hello, Secret - After each use, we recommend clearing out any debris from underneath the deck.
