8.2 BATTERY

8.2.1 Battery life

Battery life (and therefore the area
of lawn that can be mowed before recharging) is
essentially affected by:
A. Work factors involving higher
energy requirement (e.g. cutting
with dense, tall, humid grass).
B. Operator behaviour that should be avoided:
• switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
• Setting a cutting height that is too
low for the lawn conditions;
• Working at a speed that is too high for
the amount of grass to be removed.
C. Environmental factors, such as a high
ambient temperature, above +35 °C.
To optimize the life of
the batteries, it is always advisable to:
• Cut the grass when the lawn is dry;
• Cut the grass frequently so that
it doesn't grow too tall;
• Set a higher cutting height when the
grass is very tall, then set a lower
height and cut the lawn again;
• Do not use the machine in "mulching"
mode (if available) with very tall grass.
• cut the grass at a temperature
between +5 and +35 °C;
• use the "Eco" function (fig. 7II-H, par. 6.8.2).

8.2.2 Battery charging

The machine battery must always be charged:
• Before using the machine for the
first time after purchase;
• When the minimum state of
charge is reached (Fig. 7 F).
• Before any prolonged period when
the machine is not in use
• Every two months during storage.
• before starting up the machine after
a prolonged period of inactivity.
ATTENTION
When the battery is not connected to the mains
network with the specific battery charger,
battery charge will be lost even if the battery
is not used. If the battery is subject to a deep
discharge, it could be seriously damaged to
the point that it can no longer be used. The
warranty does not cover damage caused by
batteries not charged at regular intervals.
ATTENTION
Recharging must take place exclusively
using the battery charger (fig. 17.A) or
alternatively through the external battery
charger (fig. 36.B). Other recharging systems
can irreversibly damage the batteries.
ATTENTION
The batteries must only be charged in an area
protected against poor weather conditions, in
the shade, at a recommended temperature of
between +0 e +35 °C.
The batteries are equipped with a
protection device that inhibits recharging
if the environmental temperature
is not between 0 and +45°C.
NOTE
The battery can be charged at any time,
even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Do not carry out maintenance or cleaning
operations while the battery is charging.
