greenworks 40v mower is leaving streaks of uncut grass. blade seems fine. what gives?

— asked by Dave

Your cutting height is uneven or you're mowing too fast. Here's the fix, in order of likelihood:

  • Check all four wheels. The height adjustment levers on each wheel must be set to the same position. One wheel being higher will tilt the deck.
  • Slow your pace. This mower has a Smart Pace system, but pushing too fast still causes missed cuts, especially in thick grass.
  • Inspect the deck. Remove the battery and tip the mower. Check for grass clumps stuck underneath that disrupt airflow.

If that didn't work: The blade might be damaged or installed upside down. A bent blade won't cut cleanly. Replace it with a Greenworks replacement blade.

Heads up: For a cleaner cut, never remove more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing.
