BATTERY
Battery power reserve
Battery power reserve (the mowable lawn surface before recharging is required) mainly depends on:

Environmental factors that cause Higher energy requirements:
Mowing dense, high, and/or wet grass.
Machine cutting width; The wider the width, the greater the energy needed.
Operator behavior that should be avoided:
Switching the machine on and off frequently whilst working.
Setting a cutting height that is too low for the lawn conditions.
Working at a speed that is too high in relation to the amount of grass to be removed.
NOTE During use, the battery is protected against total drainage with a protective device that switches off the machine and stops it from working.

To optimize battery power reserve, it is always recommended to:

Cut the grass when the lawn is dry.
Cut the grass frequently so that it doesn’t grow too tall– Set a higher cutting height when the grass is very tall, then set a lower height and cut the lawn again.
Do not use the machine in “mulching” mode when the grass is very tall. If the need arises to use the machine for sessions that exceed the capability of a standard battery, it is possible to:
Purchase a second standard battery to immediately replace the discharged battery, without compromising the continuity of operations.
Purchase a battery with an extended power reserve compared to the standard version (par. 13.2).

Battery removal and recharging (Fig.31÷33)
NOTE The battery is equipped with a guard that inhibits recharging if the environmental temperature is not between 0 and +45 °C.
NOTE The battery can be recharged at any time, even partially, with no risk of damaging it.

CLEANING (Fig.34)
Clean thoroughly following the instructions below every time it is used.

Cleaning the machine (Fig.35÷38)
Cleaning the blade assembly
IMPORTANT Tilt the machine laterally and make sure that it is stable before starting any work. Remove grass debris and mud accumulated in the chassis to prevent it from drying and causing problems the next time the lawnmower is used.

Cleaning the grass catcher (Fig.39)
BLADE (Fig.40÷43)
Do not touch the blade until the key has been removed and the blade is completely stationary. Bear in mind that, even though the key has been removed, the blade can still move. All work on the blade (disassembly, sharpening,
balancing, repairing, reassembly, and/or replacing) are demanding jobs that require special skills as well as special tools; for safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a Specialised Centre. Make sure damaged, misshapen or worn blades are replaced, together with its own screws in place to preserve balance.
IMPORTANT Always use the original blade bearing the code indicated in the “Technical Data”. Given product evolution, the blade listed in the “Technical Data” table may be replaced in time with others having similar interchangeable and operating safety features.
