Before Using The Lawnmower For The First Time; Charging The Battery; Starting The Motor (Illustration G2 + A2 ); Stopping The Motor (Illustration F + K2 ) - Sabo 36-ACCU Livret D'entretien

– Hold down the unlock button on the front of the battery and remove the battery
from the compartment N2 .
– Close battery cover. Ensure that the cover closes automatically. Dirt and grass
deposits can hinder this and therefore must be removed.

9 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Check all screw connections for a tight fit. Tighten the screws if necessary. Attachment
of the cutter bar must be checked in particular (see chapter "Cutter bar
maintenance").
The blade attachment screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If
the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the blade fastening and cutter bar can become
damaged or loose which can lead to serious injuries.
The lawn mower is equipped with a motor stop device.
Before using the equipment for the first time, make sure that the motor stop safety
control bar is working perfectly. When the safety control bar is released, the cutter bar
must come to a standstill within 3 seconds.
After release, the safety control bar must always return to the position shown in the
"component description" diagram.
If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Risk of injury!
If the blade run-on time is longer, stop using the equipment and take it to an authorised
workshop.
Measuring run-on time
After the motor has been started, the blade rotates and a wind-like noise can be heard.
The run-on time corresponds to the duration of the wind-like noise after the motor has
been switched off, it can be measured using a stopwatch.
Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled!
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not
damaged.

10 STARTING THE MOTOR (ILLUSTRATION G2 + A2 )

Only start the motor when you are standing behind the mower.
Always place the mower on a level area which is not covered with high grass (if the
grass is too high it will block the cutter bar start-up and make starting the mower more
difficult). When the starting the motor, the machine must not be tilted on end, if
necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is
pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As
long as the device does not have all 4 wheels on the ground, both your hands must be
on the top part of the rail.
– Open the battery cover and keep hold of it.
– Insert the safety key G2 .
– Close the battery cover. Make sure that the cover closes automatically. Dirt and
grass cuttings can prevent this and must be removed for this reason.
– To switch the motor on, press the start button and keep it pressed A2 .
– Use the other hand to pull the control handle towards the top part of the handlebar.
During operation, the control handle must remain held in this position.
– The start button can then be released.

13 GRASS COLLECTOR

Operation with grass collector

WARNING
When operating the equipment with a collecting bag, the bag must be completely
assembled and in technically perfect condition.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the chute (1) S1 is not bent when handling the collector.
While mowing, ensure that the collector is emptied in good time. The turbo signal on the
collector will indicate when the collector should be emptied.
Turbo signal (shows when the grass collector is full)
(Illustration J + K )
There is an indicator on the top of the collector that shows whether the collector is
empty or full:
– The collector indicator inflates if the collector is empty and during the mowing J .
– If the collector is full, the indicator collapses; once this happens, stop mowing
immediately and empty the collector K .
IMPORTANT
If the fabric of the grass collector is very dirty the turbo indicator will not inflate –
in this case, clean the fabric immediately. The grass collector will only collect
grass perfectly if it is permeable to air.
IMPORTANT
Do not clean the grass collector with hot water!

Emptying the grass collecting bag (figure F + K2 + L )

– Switch off the motor F .
– Remove safety key K2 .
– Lift the ejection flap.
– Unhook the filled grass collecting bag by the handle – the ejector flap closes
automatically.
– Hold the collecting bag firmly by the handle and the bottom and shake
thoroughly L .

Operation without grass collector

WARNING
When mowing without grass collector the ejection flap on the mower housing
must always be closed (flap down).
