• While using your lawn mower always wear substantial closed, heavy
footwear and long trousers.
• Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, wire and debris; they could
be thrown by the blade.
• Before using the lawn mower and after any impact, check for signs of
wear or damage and repair as necessary.
• Replace a worn or damaged blade together with the blade bolt to
preserve balance.
• Always ensure that a safe distance is maintained between the user and
the mower housing.
• Be especially careful when mowing and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing.
• Always mow along the incline (not up and down). For safety reasons, the
lawn mower may not be used to mow inclines whose gradient exceeds
15 degrees.
• Use special caution when backing up and pulling the lawn mower.
Tripping hazard!
• Do not overload the mower. Mowing long thick grass may cause the
motor speed to drop; you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the
motor speed drops you may overload your lawn mower, which may cause
damage. When mowing in long thick grass first cut with the cutting
height set in the highest position, this will help reduce the load.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT MOW IN POOR VISIBILITY
CONDITIONS, IN THE RAIN OR WHEN GRASS IS
WET.
Start mowing the edge of the
lawn and work along making
sure to overlap each pass by a
few centimetres.
When mowing long grass be sure to not overload the motor. First cut with the
highest cutting
height and then
to the desired
height. This will
help reduce the
load.
Lawn Mowing Tips
Audible Warning
The mower is equipped with an audible warning system, which helps to
ensure a log service life and improved user experience.
•
Low Battery:
When the lawn mower batteries are running low, the mower will continuously
beep. If this occurs, either charge the current batteries or replace with fully
charged batteries.
•
Overload Protection:
When the lawn mower motor is overloaded, short warning beeps will warn
the user and the mower will stop. Release the start/stop lever, remove safety
key, batteries and investigate the cause of the overload. Possible causes if
this occurs,
Height of cut too low - Adjust the cutting height to a higher setting.
Possible clogging - Check underneath the mower and clear out as necessary.
Wet grass - Wait until the grass dries before mowing.
Grass too dense - Raise the cutting height and walk slower.
Drive Unit
When the drive lever is pressed
to the handle, the clutch for
the drive will be closed and the
mower will start to move when
the motor is running. Release
the drive lever in good time to
stop the moving mower. Practice
starting and stopping before you
use the mower for the first time
until you are familiar with controlling the mower.
Note:
The drive unit only operates if the motor is switched on. You
therefore have to start the motor each time.
WARNING
!
THE BLADE WILL STOP AFTER A FEW
SECONDS AFTER THE SWITCH HAS BEEN
RELEASED, BE AWARE OF THE NECESSARY TIME IT
TAKES FOR THE BLADE TO STOP.
