TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local
and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging
and labelling when transporting batteries by a
third party. Ensure that no batteries can come
in contact with other batteries or conductive
materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-
conductive caps or tape. Do not transport
batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check
with the forwarding company for further
advice.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only original manufacturer’s
replacement parts, accessories and
attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor
performance, and may void your warranty.
WARNING
Servicing requires extreme care and
knowledge and should be performed only
by a qualified service technician. Have the
product serviced by an authorised service
centre only. When servicing, use only
original replacement parts.
■
Turn off the product, and remove the
isolator key and the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before any cleaning or
maintenance task.
■
You may make adjustments and repairs
described in this manual. For other repairs,
contact an authorised service centre.
■
Replace worn or damaged part for safety.
■
Check the grass catcher frequently for
wear or deterioration.
■
After each use, clean the product with a
soft, dry cloth. Any part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorised service centre.
■
Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to ensure the
product is in safe working condition.
■
Be careful during adjustment of the product
to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving blades and fixed parts of
the product.
■
When servicing the blades, be aware that
even though the power source is turned off,
the blades can still be moved.
■
The blade on the product is sharp. Use
extreme caution, and wear heavy-duty
gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning, or
checking bolt security.
■
Replace damaged blades and bolts in sets
to preserve balance.
■
The blade bolts must be adequately
tightened. See the manufacturer’s
recommendations for blade bolt torque,
which can be found in the product
specification table in this manual.
CLEARING BLOCKAGES
■
Turn off the product, and remove the
isolator key and the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop.
■
Always wear heavy-duty gloves when
checking or clearing a blockage. The
blades are sharp and the blockage itself
could be a sharp object.
■
Remove the grass catcher, check for and
carefully clear obstructions.
■
Check the grass discharge chute, and
carefully clear blockages.
■
Turn the product on its side. Check its
underside and the area around the blade. If
any blockages are found, remove carefully.
Remember, the blade may move during
cleaning.

Even when the product is used as prescribed,
it is still impossible to completely eliminate
certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise during use, and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid
the following:
■
