Why Does My Mower Stop When Cutting Thick Grass?

This is usually caused by motor overload. Here’s what to do:

• Raise Cutting Height: Start at the highest setting and gradually lower it after each pass.
• Mow in Stages: For very tall grass, cut in two or three passes rather than forcing the mower through thick growth.
• Check Battery Charge: Low battery power reduces torque, making it harder to cut dense grass.
• Clear Debris: Inspect the deck for clogs or buildup that can restrict airflow and strain the motor.
• Slow Down: Walk at a slower pace to give the blade more time to cut effectively.
• Use HP Batteries: High-performance batteries provide better power for demanding conditions.
