Why introduce a new G2 unit?
The development and introduction of the new Recharge Mower® G2 riding mower comes directly from listening to you…the consumers. The G2 is a serious advancement in systems, performance and power. The overall unit is made entirely of metal and replaces the previous resin body. The deck is made of heavy gauge metal and can be raised higher than the predecessor. We have eliminated the previous relays and replaced them with advanced cutting motor controllers. The heavy duty drive system includes a Curtis brand controller and electromagnetic parking brake. Overall, we are proud to say that the G2 is a quantum leap forward!

How long to charge the unit?
The G2 includes an Energy Star rated charger which can completely charge the unit over- night in approximately of 10 – 12 hours.

How long will the unit operate?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® is designed to perform. The 85Ah battery system will cut up to 2 acres on a single charge. As with all mowers, the performance will vary depending on the length, type and density of grass, the physical terrain and moisture content of the grass being cut.

How do you charge the unit?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® is delivered with an easy to use Energy Star rated Smart Charger. Simply plug the charger into a standard wall outlet and connect the other end to the charging port located on the front of the control panel of the unit.

What is the drive speed of the unit?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® can achieve a speed of approximately 5 mph (8 kph). While this is the top speed of the unit, we recommend a slower speed during the cutting process. When switched into reverse the unit will achieve a maximum speed of half the forward speed. This helps ensure safe operation of the unit.

What are the cutting heights?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® is equipped with a height adjustment system. The unit offers 7 cutting deck positions starting from just under 2”(5 cm) and ranging upward in predetermined increments to a height of just under 5” (12 cm).

What is the Turning Radius of the new G2?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® offers a tight turning radius of under 24” (60cm). The standard style steering wheel is comfortable to operate and easy to move.

What size are the tires?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® features air filled tires to provide a more comfortable, balanced ride. The front tires are 10” (25 cm) while the rear are 15” (35 cm). The turf ready tread pattern has been selected to perform without damaging the grass surface.

How much weight can it handle?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® is designed to handle a rider weighing a maximum 330 lbs. (150 kg). With a rider of this weight, the system can handle an additional 330 lbs. (150 kg) of towing capacity.

What is the size of the motors?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® operates using 3 electric motors. The proprietary design provides for low power consumption while offering enhanced performance. The drive (propulsion) motor is rated at 900 watts, while each of the 2 cutting blade motors provide 3600 rpms of non-stop cutting power.

What maintenance is needed?
Unlike conventional gas powered mowers, the new G2 Recharge Mower® is virtually maintenance free. There is no gas, no oil, no emissions and no tune ups to perform. That means no spark plugs, no air filters, no oil filters and NO Belts to change. We suggest that you inspect the condition of the blades on a regular basis. It is also recommended that you lubricate a number of the key elements using a standard lubricating spray.

What is the cutting width of the unit?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® has been designed to cross the line between push and riding style mowers. The 30” (75 cm) cutting width, featuring dual cutting blades is certainly a step up from push mowers while providing a fairly high level of manoeuvrability over the conventional cutting path of other riding mowers. At this width, the unit will pass through an average side gate.

What safety features are incorporated into the unit?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® has completed full safety testing in order to meet ANSI B71.1 and UL 1447 Standards. There are multiple safety features incorporated into the new G2 Recharge Mower® including but not limited to:

• Operator Presence Switch – when the operator leaves the seat the unit immediately ceases to function
• Blade Engagement Switch –activates the blade only when the operator is in the seat.
• Reverse Speed Limiting – the unit will only operate at half the normal forward speed while in reverse AND the cutting blades will not operate.

What about cutting wet grass?
Like virtually all mowers on the market, wet grass will certainly reduce the effectiveness of the cutting system and will also require the operator to reduce the forward speed. We strongly recommend that you do NOT cut grass in the rain and delay cutting until the grass has had an opportunity to dry.

How long is the warranty?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® comes with a 2 year limited residential consumer use warranty. Details are included in the Operator’s Manual that accompanies the unit.

Where are the batteries?
There are 3 proprietary sealed batteries positioned in the rear of the unit. Not only does this protect them for any accidental contact, but this also helps improve the stability of the unit.

How much does it weigh?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® features an all metal construction. Along with the battery pack, the unit weighs about 360 lbs.(175 kg). The unit is well balanced and easy to manoeuvre.

How loud is it?
The new G2 Recharge Mower® is extremely quiet. Actually, as an added safety feature, we have installed an Audible Warning Indicator that beeps when the unit is put into reverse. When the Recharge Mower® is travelling forward and mowing your lawn, it is over 50% quieter than conventional gas powered mowers.

How is the unit built?
The Recharge Mower® is built to last. The unit is constructed of coated steel. All connections are weather resistant and are safely positioned and shielded under the rear cover to prevent against damage and weathering.

How do you operate the unit?
Simplicity is part of the philosophy built into each new G2 Recharge Mower®. Controls are positioned for easy access by the operator. The standard round steering wheel makes it easy to turn. The electronic accelerator operates both forward and reverse and provides for rapid braking once released. The parking brake is located along the side of the operator seat and easily engages the powerful electromagnetic brake. Frankly, the unit is so easy to use that most people can begin to operate it within a couple of minutes.

How much does it cost to charge the unit?
If you assume a rate of $0.12 per kilowatt hour, the cost to charge the unit overnight would be approximately $0.55

How do I store the G2 unit over the winter months?
We recommend that the unit be kept in a weather protected facility like a garage. In order to ensure that the batteries are maintained properly, they should be kept from freezing and must receive a charge every 60 days. NOTE: The unit should NOT be left connected to the charger since this would reduce the life of the batteries.

How many times can the battery be charged?
The proprietary batteries for the Recharge Mower ® have been developed to provide over 350 charge cycles. This translates into many years of service for the average residential user. Although the batteries do not require any user intervention, they do require charging and must be charged within every 60 day period.

So, you would simply need to raise the 2 part handles.. first secure the bottom handle by snapping the locks into place .. then easily secure the top handle section by tightening the knobs. At this time – position the grass catcher, which comes fully assembled, into position. Position the battery, once you have it fully charged, and insert the safety key. Now, you are ready to go! Overall, beyond charging the battery, this should take you no more than 5 minutes.

Why does the Ultralite™ weigh only 35 lbs?
The weight is actually a result of the custom rust resistant moulded body and the ultra-lightweight lithium battery pack. The overall unit including battery weighs only 35 pounds.

How long to charge the battery?
The lithium battery pack can be charged in 4-5 hours. Since the battery is lithium, you can actually achieve a large portion of the charge in half the time while the completion to maximum power level will take the remaining time.

How many charges can the battery hold?
Unlike lead acid batteries which can be charged only 200-250 times, the Lithium Battery of the PMLI-14 can handle approximately 900 recharge cycles. That means you have the unit longer and reduce the amount of material entering landfills.

Why lithium?
Lithium batteries offer a host of benefits over other battery formats. Firstly, they do not have a memory and can be charged at virtually any point. They are far lighter than other batteries. Lithium batteries will provide you with consistent flow of power which means your blades will operate at FULL speed until the batteries are drained. Also, lithium batteries have many times more charge cycles so you will operate for many years without needing to replace them.

How long does the Ultralite™ run?
There is a huge difference between run time and cut time. Most manufacturers talk about run time and that simply means the amount of time the unit will operate when it is sitting on your driveway and not doing any work. The really important number is cut time. The Ultralite™ will cut for about 35 minutes. The lithium battery will provide a constant flow of power throughout the entire cut time and will not slowly fade like other batteries.

What about height adjustments?
The Ultralite™ has 6 pre designated height levels. One handle controls the adjustment of all 4 wheels at a time. The height ranges from approximately 1” to 3”.

How do I charge the battery?
The lithium battery weighs only 4 pounds and can be charged 2 ways. You can choose to charge the battery while it is still in the mower OR you can easily remove the battery and charge in a convenient indoor location.

What about battery storage?
Lithium batteries, unlike others, have very minor power loss over sustained periods of non-use or storage. We suggest you fully charge the battery prior to storing it the winter, this way you will find that the battery has maintained its charge for when you are ready to use it again in the spring.

Can I get extra batteries?
Yes. Additional batteries are available for purchase through our website at www.rechargemower.com or through a selection of our online partners.(Part# LI-14BATT)

How much grass does the catcher hold?
The grass catcher is designed to hold approximately 1.15 bushels (40 litres) of cut grass.

How do I convert the mower into a mulcher?
The Ultralite™ mower comes complete with a combination blade. To change to mulching from standard cut, you simply would remove the grass catcher and insert the mulching adaptor which easily slides into place. The rear cover is spring loaded and, without the grass catcher on the unit, will hold the mulching adaptor in place.

Where can I get extra blades?
Additional blades are available for purchase through our website at www.rechargemower.com or through a selection of our online partners. (Item# BLADE1)

How do I store the unit for the winter?
Since the Ultralite™ does not have any gas or oil to deal with, winter storage is very simple. In fact, you can easily collapse the handle and stand the unit on end or even hang it on the wall or put it on a shelving unit. Remove the battery and store it indoors to avoid freezing.

How does the Ultralite™ compare to other rechargeable mowers?
The first and biggest difference is the weight. Most other rechargeable mowers weigh at least 2 times if not 3 times more than the Lithium Powered Ultralite™. These other mowers are difficult to handle. Some have added a self-propel system which now uses more power and still makes it difficult to manoeuvre. The next thing is battery charging. The Ultralite™ battery can be lifted with 1 finger… weighing under 4 pounds. This can also be charged either in the mower or the battery removed and charged… the choice is yours. Other rechargeable mowers use heavy lead acid batteries that can weigh 30, 40 , 50 , 60 pounds or more. Many are NOT removable and can only be charged in the unit. While those that are removable are too heavy to handle.

How do I know the power level of the battery?
The battery of the Ultralite™ includes a built-in battery power level indicator. You simply depress the small button on the top panel of the battery which then activates a series of LEDs. Depending on the level of power, either 1 or 2 or 3 LEDs will light to advise of the power level remaining. The power level indicator is included in both original and available replacement batteries for the PMLI-14.
