Key Features

Cordless Battery Powered Operation

The mower operates using the STIHL AP battery system, providing powerful electric performance without the noise, fuel consumption, and emissions associated with gasoline engines. The battery-powered design allows users to mow efficiently while reducing environmental impact.

Sequential Dual Battery System

A unique sequential battery discharge system allows the mower to hold two batteries simultaneously. When the first battery is depleted, the machine automatically switches to the second battery without interrupting operation, extending total runtime and improving efficiency.

Wide Cutting Deck

The mower features a 51 cm (20 inch) cutting width, enabling faster coverage of large lawn areas while maintaining precise cutting performance. This wide deck design reduces mowing time and increases overall productivity.

Self-Propelled Variable Speed Drive

The integrated Vario self-drive system allows users to adjust the mowing speed to match their walking pace and lawn conditions. Speed can typically be adjusted between 2.0 and 4.5 km/h for comfortable operation.

Multi-Blade Cutting System

The multi-blade system delivers superior cutting performance by finely shredding grass clippings, which improves lawn appearance and allows effective mulching for natural fertilization.

4-in-1 Mowing Functionality

The mower offers four mowing modes that allow users to customize lawn maintenance:

• Grass collection with catcher box

• Mulching for natural lawn fertilization

• Side discharge for longer grass areas

• Rear discharge for quick mowing tasks

This versatility ensures the mower can handle various lawn care situations efficiently.

Central Cutting Height Adjustment

A single-lever central height adjustment system allows users to quickly set the cutting height with multiple settings between 20 mm and 100 mm for precise lawn maintenance.

HMI Digital Control Panel

The integrated HMI control panel provides clear information about battery charge levels, power modes, and operating settings, helping users manage performance and runtime efficiently.

Comfort Mono-Handlebar Design

The innovative mono-comfort handlebar provides easy access to the grass catcher box and simplifies maintenance tasks such as emptying the catcher or adjusting the mower. It also folds down for compact storage and transportation.

Large Capacity Grass Catcher

The mower includes a 55-liter grass catcher with a fill level indicator, allowing users to monitor when the container needs emptying while ensuring efficient collection of grass clippings.

Quiet and Emission-Free Operation

Battery-powered operation significantly reduces noise levels and eliminates harmful emissions, making the mower suitable for residential neighborhoods, parks, and noise-sensitive areas.
