How to fix a Stihl RMA 460 V Lawn Mower that does not start?

If your Stihl Lawn Mower doesn't start, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure there's good electrical contact between the mower and battery by removing and reinserting the battery after visually inspecting the contacts. A low battery charge can also prevent starting, so charge the battery. Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance; let it warm up or cool down to between 50 °F and 68 °F (10 °C to 20 °C). A blocked mowing blade can be the culprit; increase the cutting height and clean the mower. In lower grass switch on the lawn mower. If the LEDs continue to flash, the battery or the lawn mower has a malfunction and must be replaced or checked by a servicing dealer.
