FAQ'S

Q: Are the batteries interchangeable?

A: Yes, all tools in the ALLPRO / AP Cordless System use the same style of battery. Different batteries are available with varying capacities. For the RMA 453 PV, we recommend a higher-capacity AP 300 P to achieve longer mowing times, especially on larger lawns.

Q: What Should I Wear?

A: We recommend wearing sturdy boots or shoes, snug-fitting clothing, and eye protection when operating the mower.

Q: How Large is the Catcher?

A: The RMA 453 PV features a generous 55 litre grass catcher with a fill-level indicator, making it easy to see when it needs emptying.

Q: Will I need to sharpen the blades?

A: Keeping the lawnmower blade sharp will give your lawn a cleaner finish and improve mowing performance. Your nearest STIHL SHOP can sharpen or replace the blade when required.

Q: Does the performance of the Battery reduce as it depletes?

A: No. STIHL lithium-ion batteries deliver consistent power throughout the discharge cycle, maintaining strong mowing performance until the battery is depleted.

Q: How should I clean my Lawnmower?

A: To clean your battery lawnmower, remove the battery first and use a damp cloth or soft brush to remove grass and debris. Wear gloves and follow the instructions in the operator's manual.

Q: Where should I store my Lawnmower?

A: Store the mower in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children. Remove the battery before storing and keep the battery in accordance with STIHL's battery storage recommendations.

Q: How much maintenance does the RMA 453 PV require?

A: Very little. There are no spark plugs, air filters, engine oil, or fuel systems to maintain. Simply keep the mower clean and the blade sharp for optimum performance.

Q: Can I mulch grass clippings instead of collecting them?

A: Yes. The RMA 453 PV offers versatile mowing options including collecting, mulching and rear discharge, helping you choose the best option for your lawn conditions.

Q: How does the RMA 453 PV compare to a petrol mower?

A: The RMA 453 PV offers quieter operation, lower maintenance requirements, no fuel handling, and instant start-up, while still delivering powerful mowing performance for medium to large lawns.

Q: What is a STIHL laminate cell battery?

A: STIHL laminate cell batteries are the latest generation of STIHL lithium-ion battery technology, designed to provide more power, longer runtime, and reduced weight for demanding users.

Q: How is a laminate cell battery different from a standard lithium-ion battery?

A: STIHL laminate cell batteries use advanced cell technology that stores more energy in a lighter package. This helps deliver higher performance, longer runtimes, and improved handling. When paired with compatible rapid chargers, they can also achieve exceptionally fast charging times.

Q: Can I buy it with a battery and charger?

A: The STIHL RMA 453 PV is supplied as a tool only. A compatible battery and charger are available separately, or you can choose the RMA 453 PV Kit that includes a compatible battery and charger.

Q: What is the advantage of the self-propelled drive?

A: The RMA 453 PV features Vario self-propulsion, allowing you to adjust the mowing speed to suit your walking pace and lawn conditions. This reduces user effort, particularly on larger lawns and gentle slopes.
