Blade Functions, Height Adjustment, and Controls
At 6:45 in
Is Milwaukee's New Mower Unstoppable?!?
What happens here
The mower is designed for rear discharge when not mulching or bagging. The mulch plug is inserted to cover the rear opening. For bagging, attach the grass bagger to the rear hooks. For side discharge, lift the rear flap, insert the side discharge chute by aligning the arrows on the chute with the arrows on the mower, and push to lock it in place. The height of cut is adjusted using a single lever that allows settings from 1 inch to 7 inches. The control panel features a light button for the headlights, a 'high lift mode' button to temporarily increase blade speed for mulching or bagging in thick grass, and a dial to adjust the self-propelled speed from 1 to 5. There's also a thumb paddle to engage the self-propel feature and a fuel gauge (battery indicator) to show remaining battery life.
Goal: Demonstrate mulching, bagging, side discharge, height adjustment, and control panel features.
