Warning! Have repairs carried out only by an au-
thorized workshop or by the manufacturer.
5.2 Inserting and removing the battery
(Fig. 13-16)
Important. Use the mower only with a mainte-
nance-free 12V battery.
Open the battery cover (Fig. 13/Item 18). Place
the battery (Item 19) on the base (Fig. 14). First
connect the red cable (+) and then the black
cable (-) (Fig. 15). Connect the battery plug (Fig.
16/Item 17) to the electrical system plug on the
mower (Fig. 16/Item 16). Remove it in reverse
order.
Important. Do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system during operation as this may
destroy the charge electronics.
5.4 Charging the battery with the charger
(Fig. 17-19)
If the battery has lost its charge, it can be charged
up with the charger (supplied) via the household
mains system. Disconnect the battery by pulling
the battery plug (Item 17) from the electrical sys-
tem plug (Item 16).
When you charge the battery, refer to the safety
regulations supplied by the battery manufacturer.
After the battery has been connected to the char-
ger by connecting the battery plug (Item 17) and
the charging plug (Item 15) to the charger, you
can connect the charger to a socket supplying
230V~50Hz. Do not connect it to a socket that
supplies any other mains voltage.
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.
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.
5.4 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.
