      Q:Hi, What is the height of the handle? Can this be adjusted to lower the height.
      by|Apr 12, 2024
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello, Abraham - The handle does have the ability to be locked into a low or high position, so you can adjust the height. As for the height of the handle, that will vary depending on a few factors (handle position, deck height, the position of the user's hands, etc.), but an approximate range would be between about 35"-42".  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.

        Q:Do you have to use both batteries for mower to run? Model RY401140
        by|Apr 11, 2024
        2 Answers
        Answer This Question

        A:  No. I only put one battery in at a time. I tried to use both batteries the first time out, but had trouble lifting the batteries out, as I didn't have the strength to pull from the top, and very little room to get my fingers between the batteries.

        by|May 13, 2024

          A:  Hello, Batteries - This lawnmower has dual active battery ports, but only uses one battery at a time. To switch from one battery to the other, simply remove the start key and rotate it 180 degrees. When you reinsert the key, make sure that the arrow on the key points to the battery in use. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.

            Answer This Question

            A:  Hello, Jlnt - The handle assembly will need to be unfolded and adjusted, and the grass catcher put together. The blade height will also need to be set to the position that best suits your lawn. We hope this helps!
