case, the short circuit damages the rechargeable battery.
- Regularly check that the battery charger cable is not
damaged. If the cable is damaged, replace the battery
charger.
- Fully recharge the batteries before storing them for the
winter.

4. ASSEMBLY
FIXING HANDLE (Fig. 3-4-5)
- Lift the handle as in Fig. 3. Tighten the knobs (A, Fig. 5) after
positioning the handle (B) at the correct height. Choose one
of the two positions (C, Fig. 4).
HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 5)
Unscrew knobs (A) and lift or lower the handle (B).
GRASS CATCHER
Fix the support bar (N, Fig.6).
IMPORTANT! – The rail must be the right way up. One
side (X, Fig.7) is bigger, and this must face away from the
grass catcher. The smaller side (Y) should face toward
the grass catcher. The handlebar rail must be pushed
fully home and locked (Fig.8). NB: the locking action is
accompanied by an audible click.
Now assemble the mesh part (D, Fig.9) of the catcher with the
rigid top (E) by securing the relative catches (F). Begin at the
rear, and finish with the two sides.
Fig. 10 – Assembly plate on the plastic top handle.

- Attach the two hooks (H) onto the deflector support shaft (I).
- Lower rear deflector and make sure it covers
completely the upper part of the grass catcher.
Installing the battery
• Open the battery compartment cover (8, Fig.2).
• Push the battery into its seat until it locks into place (Fig.12).
WARNING! Use only original battery packs. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a
fire risk.
WARNING: in the 48P and 48T models it is possible to
use only 5 Ah batteries.
Removing the battery
• Open the battery compartment cover (8, Fig.2).
• Press the two buttons (B, Fig.12) to slide the battery out (A).

5. STARTING
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
CHECKING THE MACHINE
WARNING! Make sure that the battery is not fitted in its
housing.
Before beginning work, it is necessary to:
- check that the operating lever and safety button can move
freely, without forcing, and that upon release they return
quickly and automatically to their neutral position;
- check that the operating lever stays locked, if the safety
button is not pressed;
- check that the cooling vents are not clogged;
- check that the handles and machine guards are clean and
dry, correctly assembled and firmly secured to the
machine;
- check that the cutting devices and guards are not
damaged;
- check that the machine has no signs of wear or damage
due to impact or other causes, and make the necessary
repairs;
- check that the battery is in good conditions and that there
are no signs of damage. Do not use the machine with a
damaged or worn battery;
- charge the battery following the instructions given in the
chapter “Charging the battery”.
CHECKING THE STATUS OF THE BATTERY (Fig.13)
To check the battery (A) charge status, press button (B) which
activates 4 LEDs (C) which mean the following:
4 LED lights on = Duration = 4/4
3 LED lights on = Duration = 3/4
2 LED lights on = Duration >= 2/4
1 LED light on = Duration =< 1/4
1 Flashing LED light = battery is flat
4 Flashing LED lights = overheating
CHARGING THE BATTERY (fig.14)
CAUTION: Make sure that the mains voltage of the power outlet
corresponds to that indicated on the battery charger label.
To remove the battery (A, Fig.12) from the machine, press the
two buttons (B) and slide the battery out.
To recharge battery:
- connect the battery charger (C) to a power outlet; the
presence of voltage is indicated by the red warning light
(D) switching on.
- insert the battery (A) into its housing in the battery charger
(C), pushing all the way. Recharging a completely flat
battery requires approx. 113 minutes (2.5 Ah) and 225
minutes (5 Ah). With the FAST battery charger, the charge
is reduced to 50 minutes (2.5 Ah) and 70 minutes (5 Ah).
The recharging stages are indicated by the warning light (D):
- connected battery charger = red warning light on.
- battery inserted and recharging in progress = green
warning light flashing.
- battery recharging completed = green warning light on.
- short circuit = red warning light flashing quickly
- overheating = red warning light flashing slowly
