Why does lowering the cutting height trigger an overheating warning for the blade?

Lowering the cutting height increases resistance on the blades, making the motor work harder and leading to overheating. Here’s what causes this issue:

Causes of Overheating

🔹 Increased Friction – Cutting more grass at once puts extra strain on the system.
🔹 Hot Weather Impact – High temperatures can amplify overheating.
🔹 Thick or Dense Grass – Tough grass requires more power to cut.
🔹 Dull Blades – Worn blades increase friction and reduce cutting efficiency.
🔹 New Machines – Blade disks may be tight at first, requiring time to loosen.

How to Prevent Overheating

✔ Lower the height gradually to reduce strain on the motor.
✔ Mow in the morning or evening to avoid extreme heat.
✔ Start with a higher setting when mowing thick or dense grass.
✔ Regularly check and replace blades to maintain cutting efficiency.
✔ Allow new machines to go through a few mowing cycles to loosen the blade disks.
