  If your GreenWorks Lawn Mower stops during mowing, there might be several reasons. The blade height could be too low, so try increasing it. Also, the battery pack might be out of power, so ensure it is charged. Grass clippings attaching to the deck or blade can also cause this, so remove the battery pack and check the deck. Finally, the machine's operating temperature might be too high; in this case, allow the machine to cool.

Why is my GreenWorks LMF317 Lawn Mower hard to push?
- D
  derrickparkerSep 7, 2025
  If your GreenWorks Lawn Mower is hard to push, it could be because the grass is too tall, or the blade height is too low; increase the blade height to resolve this. Another reason might be that the grass catcher and the blade are dragging in thick grass, so empty the grass clippings from the grass catcher.
