This can be as simple as the lawn mower having run out of fuel or battery, or in the case of electric mowers, the cable coming out of the socket. Also check cables, fuses and breakers for electric mowers. Trimming too much grass in one go can cause the lawn mower to get bogged down which will make it stop.
What is the Lifetime on a Flymo Robotic Lawn Mower? The battery is maintenance-free but has a life span of approximately 2-4 years, though this is dependent on several factors such as the size of lawn & operating hours etc.

Battery Temperature below 0oC or above 45oC If the charger control light flashes red when the battery is installed, this indicates that the battery temperature is not within the charging temperature range of 0 °C – 45 °C.

Loose, Dirty or Disconnected Spark Plug in Your Lawn Mower: Check it out, clean off debris, re-connect and tighten. Dirty Air Filter: Clean or replace. Fuel Not Reaching the Engine: Tap the side of the carburetor to help the flow of gas. If this doesn`t work, you might need a new fuel filter.
In terms of engine life, a gas mower will run for 10 years or more, while a battery-powered mower will need to be replaced after about five years, on average.

A red light comes on to indicate fast charging of the battery. After fast charge is done, the light turns green and the remaining 3 hour charge becomes a trickle charge, optimizing battery performance.
Generally, this occurs when the charger does not receive a signal from the batteries, in other words there is a break in the connection between the charger and batteries.
If all LEDs blink for 10 seconds, the device is pulling more power than the myCharge can give and you need a myCharge with a higher (2.0A) output.
When to sharpen the lawnmower blades on your Flymo. As a rule of thumb, sharpening your lawnmower blade 3-4 times per year is usually enough, but if you have debris in your lawn, such as stones, and your blade is hitting them you`ll need to sharpen them again after the collision.
If the motor on your Flymo Compact 300 lawnmower is running but the blade isn`t turning, the belt may have snapped. This video will show you how to replace a Flymo lawnmower belt. For information on how to repair Lawnmower problems see our other articles. »
A gas trimmer`s engine may be faulty. The air filter or exhaust port may be blocked. The trimmer may need lubrication and cooling fins or air passages may be blocked. A cordless trimmer`s battery or charger may be faulty.
Theoretically, an electric motor can be repaired indefinitely, but practically there is a limit. That limit exists when the price to repair exceeds the price of new or a non-quality vendor has repaired it so many times that you no longer have faith it will run as intended.
You can expect to get anywhere from six to ten years out of your riding mower, or longer with proper care and maintenance. Like most machines, riding lawn mower life varies depending on a number of factors including terrain, maintenance and upkeep, number of hours used, and more.
Knowing you can expect your residential lawn mower to last you around 450-500 hours is helpful in the decision-making process. The closer you are to the end of the expected lifespan, the more you should consider replacing it if a large issue occurs.
A new lawn battery should last between three and five years. In order to achieve that, however, it`s important to perform regular maintenance. Here are a few tips to help you get the longest life possible out of your battery.
Replacement batteries cost between $100 and $300. Depending on use, five years also represents the potential life span of some mowers, according to Misha Kollontai, who tests lawn mowers at CR and helped develop this interactive tool.
You can store your mower outside in winter, but it isn`t ideal. If you must store your lawn mower long-term in your yard, make sure it is elevated, so that it doesn`t sit directly on the ground. This will allow air to circulate in order to keep it more dry.

The way in which the Flymo UltraGlide collects the grass is its unique and innovative Duo Tech system. The benefit of having two separate compartments is that it allows you to mow over the edges of your lawn.

Will cut off after five min of running .does it need a new coil
ANSWER : Check gas cap first for vent being plugged as this will create a vacuum in the tank and prevent fuel delivery. Test when problem occurs by immediately loosening cap and retightening to see if restarts right away you might even hear air going into the fuel tank.
