General information

Caution, mower protection by integrated
battery protection circuit (PCB) or shutdown
via thermal protection circuit!
– If cutting equipment is blocked by a foreign
object, motor is overloaded or battery/motor
too hot, electronics switches the mower off. The
shutdown process can be triggered in
2 different ways:
1. Shutdown triggered by battery, status indica-
torflashes red.
2. Shutdown triggered by thermal protection cir-
cuit on safety start lever, no optical signal.
For additional information on this, see chapter

"Troubleshooting".

– Release safety start lever and disconnect circuit
breaker. If necessary, remove foreign object.
– Release safety start lever and disconnect circuit
breaker when a foreign object has been hit.
Check mower for damage before performing
restart and resuming work. If mower starts to
vibrate excessively, an immediate inspection is
required, possibly by the manufacturer's cus-
tomer service.
– Grass deposits must be removed, particularly
from the area of the mower housing. Deposits
complicate start-up and impair cutting quality
and grass discharge.
Only mow with sharp and proper cutting equipment
G
to prevent grass blades from fraying and the lawn
from turning yellow.
At the beginning of the cutting period and on new
G
lawns, select a relatively high cutting height and then
gradually lower it. To obtain a well maintained lawn,
the ultimate cutting height should be set at 3 cm,
since the grass has a white discolouration at the bot-
tom and, when cut too low, does not have the lus-
cious green look. Furthermore, the grass dries too
quickly in the summer.
If possible, cut your lawn on a weekly basis. Frequent
G
mowing causes the growth to enter the short-
trimmed grass and to make it resistant. Always mow
the lawn in tolerably dry condition.
To achieve a clean cutting pattern, guide the mower
G
at walking pace in a pattern as straight as possible. In
doing so, the mowing paths should always overlap by
a couple of centimetres to prevent missed spots.

Mowing on slopes and embankments
Caution, risk of injury from mowing on
slopes and embankments! Exercise particular
caution when mowing on slopes and embank-
ments, since the mower could tilt and seriously
injure you when handled carelessly. Therefore,
always follow these safety instructions:
– Pay attention to solid position and always mow slope
in crosswise direction.
– Guide mower only at walking pace.
– A slightly upward inclined position of mower prevents
it from sliding.
– Do not mow on excessively steep slopes.
– Risk of stumbling! Exercise particular caution when
moving backwards and pulling the mower.

Replacement of cutting equipment

Damaged or blunt cutting equipment must be
replaced. Models with contactless cutting tech-
nology cannot be resharpened due to the special
cutting geometry. The cutting equipment (con-
sisting of the lower blade and blade roller) must
be replaced as a complete set, if necessary.
Ask your authorised dealer or manufacturer ser-
vice, who will be happy to assist you. Repairs on
the mower and the installation of blades may
only be implemented by authorised dealers.
It is preferable to have your mower checked in
autumn so that it is again ready for the next
mowing season.
Caution, risk of injury and mower protec-
tion! Only original cutting equipment as specified
by manufacturer may be installed.
Troubleshooting
Repairs on mower must be performed exclusively by
manufacturer's service centres. Spare parts should
be ordered from your authorised dealer. If not in
stock, he can get them quickly.
Malfunctions usually only occur if the mower has
been incorrectly handled, serviced and maintai-
ned. The following table "Troubleshooting" lists
the most frequently occurring faults and how to
remedy them. In case of additional faults, visit your
nearest manufacturer's service centre.
