Important: To protect the battery from total discharge, the machine will stop, when the battery is nearly empty. The machine must not be started up again after the automatic shutdown, as it can damage the battery. The battery must be recharged before the work can continue.

Charging

A full charge takes around 60 min for a 2.0 Ah battery and 120 min for a 4.0 Ah battery.

• Only use the original charger
• Do not try to charge another type of battery in the charger, other than the original batteries with art. no. 90063245 (2.0 Ah) or 90063246 (4.0 Ah).
• Keep the charger in a dry and warm environment (10-25 degrees C) and only use it indoors. It should be connected to a normal 230V AC socket.
• Before the battery is used the first time, it is recommended to charge it fully.
• The surface of the battery can become warm during charging. This is normal.
• Do not cover the battery or charger during charging. Allow free ventilation of air.

Insert the battery into the slots of the charger and slide it into place until it locks. Fig.6 (13) There are 4 lights on the charger indicating the status and state of charge of the battery

Important: The charger will stop, when the battery is full. However, it is not recommended to leave the battery in charger for more than 24 hours.
It is recommended to drain the battery completely and fully charge it whenever possible, as it can increase the health of the battery. But partial charge will not damage the battery.
To remove the battery from the charger, hold the button down and pull the battery out.
Before winter storage, the battery should be fully charged and kept warm at 10-20 degrees C. Charge it every 3 months. Make sure to keep ventilation holes clean and free from dirt.
Store the charger indoor between 5-25 degrees C.

Operation

Safety key
The motor unit has a safety key, which is placed under the battery cover. If the safety key is removed, the power is disconnected, and it cannot start. See Fig. 6 (21)

It is always recommended to remove the safety key:

• When the lawn mower is left unattended (to prevent uninteded start, e.g. by minors)
• Before clearning and maintenance
• Before remove grass blockings
• Remove the safety key, by pulling it out.
• Insert the safety key to start the motor.
• Place the key in the correct way!

Cutting height adjustment:
The mower has 6 different heights. The cutting height ranges from 25 mm to 65 mm.

Important! Use with both batteries at the same time.

In order to cut with full power, the lawn mower must be used with both batteries installed.
Make sure both batteries are fully charged before use. The lawn mower cannot be used, if one battery is removed or it is almost drained for power.

Start
Never start the mower directly on long grass.

1.  Open the batttery cover (6) on the motor unit, slide in the battery (9) and click it in place.
2.  Make sure the safety key Fig. 6 (12) is inserted.
3.  Hold the start button Fig.10 (24) down and activate the handlebar for engine brake (1) to start the motor. Release startbutton once started.

Note: As long as operating the mower, the handlebar for engine brake must be engaged.

Stop:

1.  Release the engine brake to turn off the mower and the engine

Note: The blades will still rotate at up to 2 seconds after stopping.

Remove the battery
To remove the battery, press battery release button (12) and pull it out.

Working time
The working time per full charge depends of several factors, like length of grass, cutting height and cutting methods (mulching or collection).

Variable motor-speed
The motor adjusts the blade-rotations to match the load (length and thickness of the grass). You will therefore hear that the motor-speed will go up/down while cutting the grass. This is perfectly normal and ensures a more energy- effective use of the power from the battery.

Indicator for full grass collector.
The practival indicator Fig.8 (22) on the grass collectors tells, when it is full of grass and need to be emptied.

Blade

Inspection of the blade

• Tilt the mower with the front upwards.
• Inspect the blade for damage, cracks, or excessive rust or corrosion.
• Check that the blade bolt is tightened.

Note: A dull blade can be sharpened! But a blade that is worn, bent, cracked or otherwise damaged must be replaced.

Removing the blade:
If you remove the blade to sharpen or replace it, you must use a torque wrench and some heavy gloves to protect your hands.

1.  Loosen the blade bolt (25) using a 14 mm hexagon spanner. Use a piece of wood to prevent the blade from turning around.
2.  Remove the bolt, washer, blade and blade holder in that order
3.  Sharpen or replace the blade.
4.  Insert the blade holder, blade, washer and bolt in that order.
5.  Tighten the blade bolt with 35-40 Nm with 14 mm hexagon spanner. Use a piece of wood to prevent the blade from turning around.

Warning: A blade must be sharpened so it is in 100 % balance, otherwise it may cause vibrations that could damage the engine. Damage to engine due to faulty sharpening is not covered by warranty. We therefore recommend letting a service center sharpen the blade.

Storage and maintenance

Maintain your lawnmower: Check all bolts, screws, nuts and deck. Dismount the blade and the belt plastic cover for regular cleaning. Always make sure that the blade is sharp. Keep the motor unit free from grass and dirt. It’s a good idea to take your lawn mower to an annual service check with your authorized service dealer. See your nearest service center at www.texas.dk.

Storage: After use the lawnmower kept in a dry and clean room. Clean the machine after every use. Grass and dirt must be removed from the underside of the deck. Remove the safety key before cleaning and storage.

Winter storage: Spray silicone lubrication into the cables and move them.
Finally, clean the mower thoroughly. Dip a cloth in oil and luricate metal parts to prevent rust. For storage of battery, see “Battery” section.
