What to do if your 18V or 36V RYOBI Mower cuts out while mowing

02/12/2025, 20:38

Safety First: Remove the battery and the isolator/red safety key from the mower.
Important: Always wear protective gloves before any maintenance.

Start by checking that your battery is fully charged – this ensures maximum runtime, power, and reduces the chance of the mower cutting out during use.

Check the condition of your lawn – for best results, mow regularly and when the grass is dry.

Clear any obstructions like sticks or gumnuts before mowing, as these can trigger the mower to cut out.

If the grass is long, begin with a higher cutting height and lower it gradually to avoid overloading.

If your mower is older, consider replacing the blades – sharp blades reduce strain on the motor and help prevent unexpected shutdowns. Change your blades every 12 months.
