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).
Some models are equipped with control lights that signal
that the battery charge level is low during work (par. 7.2.2).
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).
6.4.2 Suggestions for maintaining a nice lawn
• To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance,
it should be cut regularly. A lawn can be composed of
different types of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently,
grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a solid
grassy bed. If the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher
grass and weeds start growing (clover and daisies,
etc.). The frequency of mowing should be in relation
to the rate of growth of the grass, which should not be
left to grow too much between one cut and the next.
• The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is
approx. 4-5 cm. and with one mowing, you do not need
to remove more than a third of the total height. If the
grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four
hour period. The first time with the cutting means at
maximum cutting height, possibly reducing the cutting
width and the second cut at the height desired.
• Cutting too low tears and uproots the grass,
giving it a "spotted" appearance.
• During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a
little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
• It is always better to cut the grass when dry. Do
not cut wet grass; this could reduce cutting means
efficiency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn.
• The cutting means must be in good condition and well
sharpened so that the grass is cut straight without a
ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
6.4.3 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.
For a grass-catcher with contents indicator device:
1. up (a) = empty
2. down (b) = full
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:
– release the switch lever and wait for the
cutting means to stop (par. 6.5);
– lift the rear discharge guard (Fig. 9.A),
grasp the handle and remove the grass
catcher keeping it in an erect position.
6.5 STOP
To stop the machine:
1. release both control levers (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 unattended.
