Setting The Cutting Height - Hurricane HB 51 R HW E Mode D'emploi D'origine

The red lamp on the charger will indicate that the
battery pack is being charged. After 8-9 hours the
battery will be fully charged. This will be indicated
by the green lamp on the charger. Please do not
charge the battery for longer than 12 hours as this
may destroy the battery.
When charging is completed (the green lamp shi-
nes), disconnect the charger from the mains pow-
er supply. Connect the battery plug to the mower's
electrical system plug and fi t the battery cover.
Important. Charging may create dangerous ex-
plosive gas and therefore you should avoid spark
formation and naked fl ames whilst the battery is
charging.
Calculating the charging time:
The charging time depends on the charge status
of the battery. If the battery is fully discharged,
the approximate charging time can be calculated
using the following formula:
Charging time/h =
Battery capacity in Ah/Amp. (arithmetic charging
current)
Example = 4 Ah/0.4 A = 10 h max.
A high initial current, approximately equal to the
rated current will fl ow in a normally discharged
battery. As the charging time increases, the char-
ging current will fall.

5.6 Setting the cutting height

Important. Adjust the cutting height only
when the engine is switched off and the plug
boot has been pulled.
•
Before you begin to mow, check to ensure
that the blade is not blunt and that none of the
fasteners are damaged. To prevent any imba-
lance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades
as a set only (if applicable). To carry out this
check, first switch off the engine and pull the
spark plug boot.
•
The cutting height is centrally adjusted with
the cutting height adjustor lever (Fig. 7/Item
8). Different cutting heights can be selected.
•
Actuate the cutting height adjustor lever and
pull it to the required position. Let the cutting
height adjustor lever click into position.

6. Operation
Important.
The engine is supplied without oil and petrol.
Therefore, be sure to add oil and petrol befo-
re starting the engine.
The battery is not connected when you take deli-
very of the machine. Please connect the battery
as described in section 5.2 before you use the
machine for the fi rst time.
If the machine has not been used for some time,
charge the battery fully (section 5.5) before using
it again.
In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the
lawn mower, it comes equipped with an engine
brake (Fig. 5a/Item 1a) which must be pulled back
before the engine can be started. When the engi-
ne start/stop lever is released, it must return to its
initial position, at which point the engine automati-
cally switches off .
Starting up with the electric starter
Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to
the spark plug. Place the throttle lever in the „ "
position. Stand behind the mower. Use one hand
to pull back and hold the engine start/stop lever
(Fig. 5b). Start the engine by turning the ignition
key in the ignition lock (Fig. 1/Item 22). Once the
engine has started, turn the ignition key immedi-
ately back to its initial position. If you actuate the
ignition key again while the engine is running, you
will damage the starting system.
Starting up with the reversing starter
Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the
spark plug. Place the throttle lever in the „ " po-
sition. Stand behind the mower. Use one hand to
pull back and hold the engine start/stop lever (Fig.
5b). Start up the engine with the reversing starter
(Fig. 1/Item 9) To do this pull the handle out ap-
prox. 10 – 15 cm (until you feel a resistance) and
then start the engine with a sharp pull. If the engi-
ne does not start, pull the handle again.
Important.
Never allow the cable to snap back.
Important: In cold weather, it may be necessary
to repeat the starting process several times. Set
the required working speed. Before you start
mowing, you should run through this process se-
veral times in order to ensure that the machine is
