Ryobi RLM36X46S5 Questions & Answers

I have seen a few comments of this happening to other people on reviews. The mower cuts out at below level 3 when cutting as it is to much of a strain on the mower. It is recommended to adjust your blade to cut at a higher level and after first run lower if needed. Another tip I found - When this happened to me it turned out to be the clamps on the bit of metal that goes up to where your hand are, weren't fully locked down. They have to be locked in place or it will stall.

Got it going after recharging battery which had been, as far as I knew, fully charged... but after an hour of recharging and putting back in the mower everything worked perfectly. Have taken note of the things you suggested and in particular the locking of the handle clamps. Thanks for a quick reply, and tips.

If they get too hot the Ryobi 36V batteries will shut down and not supply any power until they cool down a bit. It happens often on my chainsaw when working hard on thicker wood. I assume your battery cooled down and started working and accepted a charge.

Just pop the battery in the fridge for 15 minutes or so before charging it again, works a treat

same problem - intermittent stopping. Finally came good - have only used once. Could it be letting go of the handle lever thing?

Just till it’s fully changed don’t leave on charge and after it his been discharged let it cool down before charging and it will last a lot longer

Did you push the battery all the way in till you here a click and is the red key installed fully

I finally found the answer - I was the way I was trying to start it. You hit the round button first and then engage the two gears, and there is a delayed reaction of a second or two before it actually starts. Very disconcerting but once it goes, it works really well. the instructions were not in the book but in really small print on a label underneath the handle. well done to the eagle-eyed young assistant at Bunnings who spotted this the second go round...!
