6.3  INTERVENTIONS ON THE MACHINE 

6.3.1  Cutting deck alignment

The cutting deck should be properly set to obtain an evenly cut lawn and reduce 
vibrations. 

If the cut is uneven, check the tyre pressure.

If this is not sufficient to achieve an even cut, please contact your Dealer who will test 
and make the necessary adjustments to the alignment of the cutting deck.

6.3.2  Replacing wheels

Stop the machine on flat ground and put a block under a load-bearing part of the 
frame on the side that the wheel is to be changed. The wheels are held by a snap ring 
(1) which can be eased off with a screwdriver.

The battery charger has a thermal protection device against overcharging, also pro-
tecting from short circuits and reversal of terminals. in addition, if unconnected to the 
battery, the connector or the grips will not be live. If the thermal protection has cut in 
the power supply is stoped restarting automatically after about 30 seconds. 
An increase in temperature both when recharging and when maintaining the charge is 
a normal operating condition.

After use, do not leave the battery charger disconnected from the mains supply and 
connected to the battery to prevent the battery from discharging.
