• On slopes, the cutting path should be made perpen-
dicular to the slope. It is possible to prevent the lawn-
mower from slipping by lifting it upwards at an angle.
• Slopes are one of the main causes of accidents where
control of the battery-powered ride-on lawnmower is
lost and the device tips over. This can cause serious or
even fatal injuries.
• For safety reasons, the device must not be used on
slopes steeper than 10° (17.6 %).
• 10° slope corresponds to a vertical rise of 17.6 cm
at 100 cm horizontal length.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.
• Do not use the device in places such as slopes or
ditches where it may tip over or slip. The danger of
tipping over or slipping is greater if the surface is
loose or damp.
• Always drive on slopes in the longitudinal direction.
There is an increased risk of tipping over when driv-
ing sideways.
• When driving on slopes, do not make abrupt chang-
es in speed or direction. Working in such situations
requires careful, calm and steady operation of the
battery-powered ride-on lawnmower.
• Avoid changes of direction on slopes. Turn around
on slopes only if this is unavoidable; if possible,
drive slowly and in a wide arc in the downward di-
rection.
• Do not mow wet grass, especially on slopes, as grip
is reduced on wet grass. The battery-powered ride-
on lawnmower could slip and therefore no longer be
controlled by the user.
• Special care must be taken when operating attach-
ment devices on slopes (altered weight distribution
on the device).
• If the wheels should spin or if the vehicle gets stuck
when travelling up a slope, disengage the mowing
blade or attachment device. Afterwards, the slope is
to be left in a slow downward and straight direction.
• Never try to stabilise the battery-powered ride-on lawn-
mower by supporting it with your foot on the ground.
11.7 Parking the battery-powered ride-on lawn-
mower
c WARNING!
Danger of injury and tipping!
The battery-powered ride-on lawnmower may tip over
if it has not been parked on a level surface.
- The danger of tipping over or slipping is greater if
the surface is loose or damp.
- When stopping, pay attention to the overrun of the
cutting tool, which is a few seconds until it comes to
a standstill.
Turn off the device as follows:
1. Press the brake pedal (8) down completely and
actuate the locking brake (14).
2. Before leaving the driver's seat, switch off the
mowing unit (6).

3. Set the cutting height (4) to the lowest position.
4. Stop the motor by turning the ignition key (30) in
the ignition lock (23) to the "OFF" position. Then
remove the ignition key (30) from the ignition lock
(23).
5. Store the ignition key (30) so that only authorised
persons have access to it.
6. Make sure that the battery-powered ride-on lawn-
mower has come to a complete stop before dis-
mounting.
11.8. After mowing
1. Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before stor-
age. Do not place any other objects on the mower.
2. Check all screws and nuts before the next use.
Tighten up the loose screws.
3. Remove the ignition key (30) from the ignition lock
(23).
4. Make sure that the battery-powered ride-on lawn-
mower is not parked next to a source of danger.
5. Interrupt the power circuit by removing the con-
nector if the battery-powered ride-on lawnmower
will not be in use for a long period of time (see.
point 9.4).
12. Charging and storage
NOTE! Make sure to fully charge the battery-powered
ride-on lawnmower before long periods not in use.
Otherwise it can negatively affect the service life of
the battery.
Ensure that the charging unit is complete and undam-
aged.
12.1 Display (f) on the charging unit (Fig.10)
The charging unit has three different displays: Charg-
ing voltage (V), charging current (A) and charging
status display (%).
You can switch between the three different displays
with the button below.
12.2 Connecting and charging the battery-pow-
ered ride-on lawnmower (Fig. 11)
1. Insert the charging plug (25c) into the battery
charging socket (26).
2. Then connect the power supply cable (25a) of the
charging unit to your mains connection cable.
3. The battery-powered ride-on lawnmower now
charges.
NOTE!
Make sure that the battery-powered ride-on lawnmow-
er charges in dry conditions, otherwise the charging
unit or the battery-powered ride-on lawnmower could
be damaged.
