6.4 OPERATION
IMPORTANT When working, always keep a safe dis-
tance from the cutting means, given by the length of the
handle.
The battery power reserve (and therefore the lawn surface
to be mown before recharging) depends on many factors,
described in (par. 7.2.1).
During use, the charge status of the batteries is dis-
played (remaining charge percentage) (Fig.8.E).
IMPORTANT If the motor stops because it is overheated
while mowing, you must wait approximately 5 minutes be-
fore restarting it.
6.4.1 Grass cutting
1. Start moving forward and mowing the grass area.
2. Adjust speed and cutting height (para 5.3) in rela-
tion to lawn conditions (grass height, density and
humidity) and the amount of grass to be cut.
For traction models (par. 5.2.3): It is recommended to
avoid mowing on slopes with a degree higher than 15°.
3. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you al-
ternate cutting in both directions at the same height
(Fig.20).
For side discharge: it is recommended to follow a path
so as to avoid discharging the cut grass from the part of
the lawn that is yet to be mown.
For mulching or rear grass discharge:
• Always avoid removing a large quantity of grass. Never
cut more than one third of the total grass height per
single pass (Fig.20).
• Keep the chassis clean (par. 7.3.1).
6.4.2 Grass catcher emptying
For grass catcher with contents indicator device:
Lifted = empty.
that the grass catcher is full and must be emptied.
To remove and empty the grass catcher:
1. Wait until the cutting means stops;
2. Remove the grass catcher (Fig.25.A).
6.5 STOPPING THE MACHINE
To stop the machine:
Release the operator presence lever (Fig.21 A).
1.
2. For models that require using a power button for
starting, use the power button (fig. 18.A).
3. Wait until the cutting means stops.
After stopping the machine, it will take a few sec-
onds for the cutting means to stop.
Lowered = full*.

IMPORTANT Always stop the machine.
• When moving between work areas.
• When driving on grass free surfaces.
• Every time it is necessary to overcome an obstacle.
• Before adjusting the cutting height.
• Any time the grass catcher is removed or refitted.
• Any time the side discharge chute (if available) is re-
moved or refitted.
•
6.6 AFTER OPERATION
1. Clean (para. 7.3).
2. If necessary, replace damaged components and tighten
any slack screws and bolts.
IMPORTANT Remove the safety key whenever the ma-
chine is unused or left unattended.

7.2 BATTERY
7.2.1 Battery power reserve
Battery power reserve (and therefore the lawn surface
that can be mown before recharging is required) mainly
depends on:
a. Environmental factors that cause higher energy
requirements:
