Safety Advice for Rechargeable Battery and Charger

Use only the battery provided with the lawn mower and the provided charger. Protect the battery and the battery charger from humidity and damp conditions. Do not operate the battery charger outdoors. When it is not in use or before cleaning and servicing, disconnect the battery charger from the power supply. Take special care of the battery. Avoid dropping it onto any hard surface and do not subject it to pressure or any other form of mechanical stress. Keep the battery away from extreme heat and cold. Do not open or attempt to repair the battery or the battery charger. If any parts are defective, have them repaired by a qualified technician or send them to our service department for repair. Only charge the battery at an ambient (surrounding air) temperature between 0ºC and +40ºC. A charged battery can be used to power the machine under ambient temperature conditions between -20 ºC and +40 ºC. When not in use, store the battery in a dry place between 10ºC and 30ºC.  Recharge the battery as soon as the mower’s performance starts to decline. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its battery in a depleted condition. The battery is not fully charged at the factory. Before attempting to use it, it must be fully charged firstly.

Important! Danger
Never short-circuit the battery or expose it to moisture. Do not store it together with any metal parts which could short-circuit the contacts. The battery could overheat, start burning or explode. If any person comes into contact with acid or similar internal fluids or substances contained in the battery, wash off these substances immediately with plenty of water. If these substances make contact with the eyes, rinse with plenty of water and visit a doctor immediately.

WARNING
Do not dismantle the battery pack to remove the battery cells. Do not place the rechargeable battery into fire or water. It can explode.

FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING
Clear the lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects, which could be accidentally be thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass, because it tends to stick to the underside of the deck preventing proper collection of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to be adjusted, so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray clippings left on the lawn. Clean the underside of deck. Be certain to clean the underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent proper cutting. Always remove the starter isolator before cleaning. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.

WARNING:
Tf you strike a foreign object, stop the motor. Switch off the isolator key, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage. The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

GRASS CATCHER
If the grass catcher is full of grass, you will need to empty and clean the grass catcher, make sure it is clean and ensure its meshwork is ventilated. (Fig.13)

DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may inhibit the collection performance. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the batteries are removed first).

BLADE

The blade is made of pressed steel. It will be necessary to sharpen or replace to ensure the optimum performance of the mower. Ensure that it is always balanced (an unbalanced blade will cause dangerous vibrations). It is recommended to have your lawnmower serviced annually and have the blade replaced. If the blade is removed and replaced, refit making sure that the cutting edges face in the direction of the motor rotation. The blade bolt (2) must be torqued to 25N.m.

WARNING : For service, replace the blade as below.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Warning:
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning work, Always remove batteries and switch off the isolator key!
Do not spray the unit with water. Ingress of water may destroy the switch and the electric motor. Clean the unit with a cloth, hand brush, etc.

Expert inspection is required, do not make any adjustments by yourself. Contact your local Cobra Dealer:

  • if the lawnmower strikes an object.
  • if the motor stops suddenly
  • if the blade is bent (do not align!)
  • if the motor shaft is bent (do not align!)
  • if a short-circuit occurs when the cable is connected.
  • Use only the manufacturer’s recommended replacement parts and accessories.

STORAGE
The following steps should be taken in order to prepare the lawn mower for storage.

  1. Remove the battery pack from the mower and store it at room temperature in a dry location.
  2. Clean the mower as described earlier in the maintenance section.
  3. Inspect the blade and replace it or sharpen it if required.
  4. Check and lubricate where possible.
  5. Store the mower in a dry and clean location. Do not store it next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rock salt.
  6. Store the mower in a covered, enclosed space, that is cool and dry and out of the reach of children.
  7. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet. Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which causes rust.
