• Always adjust the cutting height according to the height and density
of the grass to be cut and the weather conditions.
• Look at the mown area: there should be no grass clippings on the
surface. If there are grass tracks visible, the cutting height should be
raised high enough to achieve the result sought.
MOWING WITH REAR EJECTION
For the occasional mowing of tall grass, you can use your lawnmower
without the grass collector or the removable mulching insert.
The deflector is designed to protect you. So only lift when you need
to remove the grass box. It automatically repositions itself afterwards.
Do not use the lawnmower if the shield / deflector is not in place. Do
not remove it if for any reason whatsoever.
ADVICE:
After initially changing to the high position, you can reinstall the
housing insert (mulching configuration) and finish off mowing by a
second run at the required cutting height.
8• MAINTENANCE
Remove the safety key before any maintenance.
The best maintenance is above all the regular cleaning of your mower
after each use (frame, wheels, transmission system...).
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF THE MOTOR,
THE RECHARGEABLE STORAGE CELL,
AND THE CHARGER
Before any maintenance, remove the security key. If you must lay the
mower on its side, also remove the rechargeable storage cell.
Motor maintenance
The brushless electric motor is considered maintenance-free.
However, it is sensitive to abnormal overheating and humidity.
You should take care of:
- Ensuring regular cleaning of the mower by cleaning it up especially
around the engine cowling and the storage cell compartment of all
the grass that could be settled there.
- Avoiding cleaning the mower with a water jet.
- Storing the mower in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Maintaining the rechargeable storage cell
Rechargeable N-ERGY PA362E storage cell of your mower only
requires a few precautions and maintenance. However, it is sensitive
to shocks, humidity, and abnormal overheating.
You should take care of:
- Being careful not to expose it to shock, humidity and heat.
- Ensuring regular cleaning with a dry rag without water.
- Ensuring its connectors are clean using a non-metallic soft brush.
- Carrying out the scheduled maintenance work for prolonged period
without use.
- Storing it in a dry, well-ventilated place at a temperature between
-20 °C and +50 °C. Storage at a temperature outside this range
could damage the storage cell.
You never have to dismantle your rechargeable
N-ERGY PA362E storage cell to intervene yourself.
In case of problems, contact a ETESIA-qualified
specialist .
Charger maintenance
Before any maintenance, unplug the power cord plug from
the 230 V outlet.
The CA362E charger does not require any special maintenance.
However, it is sensitive to shocks, abnormal heating, humidity and
dust.
You should take care of:
- Making sure to unplug it when not in use,
- Ensuring regular cleaning with a dry rag or as needed, with a soft
brush.
- Avoiding exposure to shock, heat, water and dust.
- Storing it in a dry, well ventilated area.
CLEANING
• Once the engine has been switched off and allowed to cool, unhook
the grass collector, undo the lower fastening nuts on the handlebar
as far as the screw collar so as to be able to straighten the handlebar,
and lift the chassis from the front to put it into the vertical position
(see picture 16).
Advice:
do not undo the two middle fastening nuts. The upper part
of the handlebar stays aligned with lower parts.
• After stopping the engine and having allowed it to cool, clean the
lawnmower particularly the inside of the cutting deck. Remove all
debris of cut grass, preferably using a scraper and a brush.
• Never aim a high pressure cleaning jet at the transmission
components or the motor. Never use hot water pressure washers.
CHECK SAFETY DISPOSITION
• Regularly check the condition of the safety scuttle and the collecting
bin. Replace them as soon as they show signs of deterioration.
• Ensure that the safety control works properly: safety lever released
= stoppage of cutting blade in less than 3 seconds.
If you notice abnormalities in operation, have the safety system
checked by a service engineer approved by ETESIA.
MAINTENANCE OF THE CUTTING SYSTEM
Before each use, check that the blade, the blade attaching
screw and the cutting assembly are not worn or damaged. A
blade deformed or showing excessive wear (chipping on the
blade edges) must be replaced.
• All shocks against obstacles, or abnormal wear, may cause unbalance
and deterioration of the bearings or indeed of the engine as a whole.
In such cases the warranty becomes invalid. Use a new blade rather
than risk damage to the motor due to excessive unbalance of a poor
blade.
• Regularly make sure that the blade is well balanced (see picture 17).
