FAQs
What is a 'bare tool' product?
A 'bare tool' product, like the Bosch Rotak 18V-34, does not include batteries or a charger. It is intended for users who already own compatible batteries and chargers from the same tool system.
What battery type is compatible with this mower?
This mower is compatible with the Bosch 18V PowerForAll System batteries. It is also compatible with batteries from other manufacturers within the PowerForAll Alliance.
How do I use the mulching function?
To mulch, insert the provided mulch plug into the mower deck. This allows the grass clippings to be finely chopped and returned to the lawn as natural fertilizer.
What is the recommended lawn size for this mower?
The Bosch Rotak 18V-34 is best suited for medium-sized lawns, typically up to approximately 400m², depending on battery capacity and grass conditions.
How does the vertical storage feature work?
The handles can be folded down, allowing the mower to be stored upright on its base, significantly reducing its footprint for easier storage in garages or sheds.
How often should I clean the mower?
It is recommended to clean the mower after each use to maintain performance and prevent buildup of grass clippings and debris, especially on the mower deck and blade.
Can I use batteries from other brands with this mower?
Yes, if the other brand is part of the Bosch PowerForAll 18v Alliance. Ensure the battery voltage (18V) and connection type are compatible within the alliance.
Troubleshooting
Mower does not start
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the safety key is in place and the power switch is engaged. Make sure the mulch plug or grass catcher is properly attached, as some models have safety interlocks.
Uneven cutting performance
Check the cutting blade for damage or dullness and sharpen or replace it if necessary. Ensure the cutting height is set appropriately for the grass length. Clean any grass clippings or debris from the mower deck and blade area.
Reduced runtime per charge
Ensure the battery is fully charged. Older batteries may hold less charge; consider using a newer or higher capacity battery. Check for any blockages in the cutting deck or grass intake that might be increasing motor strain.
Mower struggles in thick grass
Set the cutting height to a higher setting and make a second pass at a lower height. Ensure the blade is sharp. Reduce the mowing speed to allow the motor to work more effectively.
