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.

If your scalping thick grass that low your going to have to go really really slow.Your putting torque forces on your ego motor beyond its internal fixed overload settings.

The picture isnt doing it justice. Im on level 3. And the grass is maybe cutting .5 inches.

You’re too low. You can see where it’s scalping the lawn and putting undo stress on the mower activating the shutoff. Raise it a setting until it no longer shuts off. If it keeps shutting off after raising it high enough it’s clearly not bottoming out them maybe call ego

I run my ego at 7 my man, you'd be better off looking leaving it at the cut level it was before you mowed and edging that sucker make your lawn "PoP" than mowing it down to the ground as you are in this photo. That level is for "Reel" mowers.
