4. Completely close the hatch again.
5. Engage the cutting means by first pressing the safety
button (Fig. 12.A) and then pressing the operator
presence lever (Fig. 12.B)

6.4 WORKING
IMPORTANT When working, always keep
a safe distance from the cutting means,
given by the length of the handle.
Battery power reserve (therefore the mowable lawn surface
before recharging is required) depends on many factors
described in (par. 7.2.1).
IMPORTANT If the motor stops while mowing due to
overheating, you must wait approximately 5 minutes before
restarting it.
6.4.1 Grass cutting
1. Start moving forward and mowing in the grass area;
2. Regulate the forward speed and the cutting height
(par. 5.4) considering the conditions of the lawn (the
height, density and dampness of the grass) and the
amount of grass collected;
3. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate
cutting in both directions at the same height (fig. 13).
4. Never cut more than one third of the total grass height
per single pass (Fig.14).
5. It is recommended to avoid mowing on slopes with a
degree higher than 15°.
6.4.2 Emptying the grass catcher
When the grass catcher (fig. 1.E) is too full, grass collection
is no longer efficient and the sound of the lawnmower
changes.
The grass-catcher has a contents indicator device:
Alzato = vuoto. Abbassato =
pieno*.
While working with the cutting means running, the indicator
remains raised for as long as the grass catcher is able
to hold cut grass; when it lowers, it means that the grass
catcher is full and must be emptied.
To remove and empty the grass catcher:
1. release the switch lever and wait for the cutting means
to stop (par. 6.5);
2. lift the rear discharge guard (Fig. 8.A), grasp the
handle and remove the grass catcher keeping it in an
erect position.
6.5 STOPPING THE MACHINE
To stop the machine:
1. release the operator presence lever (fig. 15.A);
2. wait until the cutting means stops:
When you have stopped the machine, it will
take a few seconds for the cutting means to stop.
IMPORTANT Always stop the machine:
- when moving between work areas;
- when driving on grass free surfaces;
- every time it is necessary to overcome an obstacle;
- before adjusting the cutting height.
- whenever you remove or reattach the grass catcher.
6.6 AFTER OPERATION
1. Stop the machine (par. 6.5).
2. Open the hatch and remove the safety key.
3. Remove the battery from its housing and recharge it
(par 7.2.3).
4. Allow the motor to cool before storing in an enclosed
space.
5. Clean (par. 7.3).
6. Check there are no loose or damaged components.
If necessary, replace the damaged components and
tighten any screws and loose bolts or contact the
authorised service centre.
IMPORTANT Remove the safety key whenever the
machine is unused or left unattend
