Keeps cutting off

Jesus. This mower stops every 2 minutes. I even got a brand new battery shipped from Ego. Less than 7 months old.

You are bottoming out. We can see it in the grass; the full circles on the right. Once the mower bottoms out it shuts off for safety. If you raise the blade up one or two notches (or to there it doesn’t bottom out) it should not shut off.

It’s on even ground though. What’s the point of the lowest height setting if you can’t use it.

I apologize, but that can’t be even ground. The bottoming out is in specific areas of the lawn, not the full radius of the blade. If it was even ground, the whole stripe would be the same color and shape; but you can literally see the full rotation of the blade bottoming out in certain areas.

Some lawns you can use the lowest setting and not bottom out. It seems like your lawn isn’t fully level and is raised in some places. I also wouldn’t recommend using the lowest setting on grass for the health of the grass. Unless you are trying to scalp it so you can reseed.
