Mowing Modes

Selecting the Mowing Mode
Three mowing modes can be selected. The
selection is made via the operating unit.
– ECO mode
– Standard mode
– AUTO-BOOST mode
► Switch the lawn mower on.
► Press the button (1) to select the desired
mowing mode.
The current mode (2, 3, 4) is displayed.
ECO mode
When ECO mode is activated, the lawn mower
detects the current working conditions and
adjusts the blade speed automatically.
This may extend the battery life.
Standard mode
When Standard mode is activated, the lawn
mower mows at a constant blade speed.
AUTO-BOOST mode
When AUTO-BOOST mode is activated, the
lawn mower has more power available for a short
time, for example to mow taller and denser
grass.
AUTO-BOOST mode affects the battery life. If
there is a risk of overheating, the lawn mower
automatically switches to Standard mode.
