Tips for Optimal Mowing
- Follow the 1/3 rule: Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mow.
- Mow when grass is dry: Wet grass can clump and leave uneven patches.
- Sharpen blades regularly: Dull blades tear the grass, causing brown tips.
- Raise the deck in droughts: Taller grass shades the soil, reducing water loss.

How do you use a 21-inch EGO mower?
Here’s how to use a standard 21-inch EGO mower:
- Charge and insert battery: Use a fully charged 56V ARC Lithium battery.
- Adjust height: Use the side lever to select your cutting height.
- Start the mower:
- Press and hold the safety button.
- Pull back the bail handle (bar).
- Begin mowing: Walk at a steady pace. Self-propelled models have speed controls.
- Use features:
- Choose between mulching, bagging, or side discharge.
- Some models include LED headlights for evening mowing.
How long will an EGO lawn mower battery run?
Battery runtime depends on battery size (Ah), grass conditions, and mower model. Here’s a general estimate:
| Battery Size | Runtime (Light Grass) | Runtime (Thick Grass) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5Ah | 30–40 minutes | 20–25 minutes |
| 4.0Ah | 45–60 minutes | 30–40 minutes |
| 5.0Ah | 60–70 minutes | 40–50 minutes |
| 7.5Ah | 90–100 minutes | 60–75 minutes |
| 10.0Ah | 110–120 minutes | 75–90 minutes |
Tip: Dual-battery models like LM2142SP can run up to 80–90 minutes continuously.
Should a lawn mower be level?
Yes. Your mower deck should be level side to side, and slightly lower in the front (1/8″ to 1/4″) for optimal cutting.
- Level side-to-side: Prevents uneven cuts and scalping.
- Slight front tilt: Promotes better airflow and cleaner cutting.
EGO mowers are factory-calibrated and usually don’t need manual leveling. However, always check tire pressure and deck height if you notice uneven cuts.
