If the mower mechanism becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an
authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed.
Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.
If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please
have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Time restrictions
In Germany, the set hours for operating lawnmowers are regulated in the "32nd
Ordinance implementing the Federal Emissions Protection Act (32nd BImSch-V)".
In addition, there may be regional restrictions (e.g. to protect midday peace), which can
be issued by the respective local authority.
Automatic speed increase
In difficult mowing conditions, such as high grass, the cutter motor automatically
increases its speed from 2800 to 3000 rpm.
As soon as the mowing conditions return to normal, the speed decreases again
automatically to the standard setting of 2800 rpm.
NOTE
In energy-saving mode, the speed does not increase automatically if the mowing
conditions become more difficult.
Lower speed (energy-saving mode) (fig. H (7) )
The standard speed of the cutter motor is 2800 rpm.
In order to protect the battery and save energy, the speed can be reduced to 2600 rpm.
–
Press the "ECO" button (7).
The energy-saving display (8) lights up and the mower only mows at 2600 rpm.
Restore standard speed;
–
Press the "ECO" button (7) again.
The energy-saving display (8) goes out and the mower now mows at 2800 rpm
again.
IMPORTANT
Only use energy-saving mode in good mowing conditions, e..g short, dry grass.
Otherwise the cutting quality can deteriorate or the ejector channel can block.
In energy-saving mode, the mower does not automatically increase the speed if
the mowing conditions become more difficult.
Tips on caring for your lawn (Illustration M )
WARNING
Remove any objects (stones, wood, branches, etc.) from the lawn before each
cut; but still watch out for objects lying around during the mowing process.
Ask your dealer about lawn care instructions. Information and instructions about
mowing can also be found on the manufacturer website.
Mulching
The lawn mower can also be fitted with a mulching kit. The corresponding conversion
kit is available as an accessory from professional dealerships (order no. see chapter
"Original spare parts and accessories").
The mulching kit also includes tips and information about mulching. You will also find
information about mulching on the manufacturer's website.
WARNING
Always have an authorised workshop carry out the conversion of the mower to a
mulching system. A wrongly assembled cutter fastening or a blade screw that is
tightened too tightly or too loosely can allow the cutting blade bar to become
loose and cause severe injuries.
If the grass should happen to be too high for mulching, the mulching mower can be
converted for mowing with a grass collecting bag in no time.
Conversion to rear ejector mower (fig. U2 + S1 + K2 )
–
Stop the motor.
–
Remove safety key K2 .
–
Lift the ejection flap.
–
Remove the mulching plug from the channel U2 .
–
Hook the grass collecting bag in the bracket provided on the mower housing S1.
The mulching blade system does not have to be converted. The capacity of the
collecting bag can be reduced under difficult mowing conditions (e.g. wet grass).
For the equipment to be used as a mulching machine again, the mulching plug must be
installed again. To do this, remove the grass collecting bag, insert the mulching plug
into the ejector channel and close the ejector flap.
Clean the ejector channel first.
18 SERVICE INTERVALS
IMPORTANT
Avoid damage! Under extreme or unusual conditions, shorter servicing intervals
than the ones specified below may be necessary. If you establish any problems,

Check the cutting blade screw and have an authorised workshop tighten it if
necessary.
•
Check whether the safety control bar is working properly.
•
Check whether the drive safety control bar is working properly.
•
Check that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
Before every operation
•
Check the lawn area and remove any objects, in particular live cables.
•
Check the area of the boundary wires (if an automatic mower is being used for
lawn care).
•
Check the battery is charged.
•
Check the condition and firm fit of the blade, if necessary have an authorised
workshop tighten the blade screw.
•
Check whether the safety control bar is working properly.
•
Check whether the drive safety control bar is working properly.
•
Check that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.
•
Check grass collecting equipment for wear or loss of functionality.
Every 10 operating hours
•
Check all screw connections for a tight fit.
•
Check the fan, cutter fastening and fan housing regularly for wear and a tight fit.
After every operation

19 CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR LAWNMOWER
Regular care is the best way to guarantee a long service life and problem-free
operation. Insufficient equipment maintenance will lead to safety-related faults!
Only use original spare parts because only those guarantee safety and quality!
Cleaning (Illustration O )
Remove dirt and grass residue immediately after finishing mowing. Place the mower on
its side and use a brush or cloth to clean.
ATTENTION
Do not put your fingers into the openings of the fan housing and hold onto the
fan. If the blade bar is rotated during cleaning, there is a risk that your fingers
may become caught between the fan and the fan housing!
IMPORTANT
Never spray the mower with water. This may damage the electrical systems.
Storage
Always store the device with the safety key removed and without an inserted battery.
Always store the equipment in a clean state in a closed, dry room and inaccessible to
children.
Collapsing the handle (Illustration B4 )
–
For space-saving storage space or for transportation, open the quick releases,
loosen the wing nuts such that the handlebar can be folded together without
