8 BEFORE USING THE LAWNMOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME
Check that all connections and the spark plug connector are fitted firmly. Tighten the screws if necessary! In particular make
sure that the cutter bar is fitted correctly (see Chapter "Maintenance of the blade").
The blade attachment screw should always be fitted and tightened by a specialist workshop. If the blade attachment screw is
too tight or too loose, the blade clutch and blade can be damaged or become detached, which can cause severe injury.
Make sure that all safety devices are fitted properly and are not damaged.
Charging the starter battery (only for electro-start)
– The starter battery is a maintenance-free dry battery
– Prior to the initial start-up, it should be charged with the original charger for approx. 24 hours.
For safety reasons and to avoid battery damage, the battery may only be charged within a building in dry rooms
and not in direct sunlight.
– To avoid unnecessary power consumption, disconnect the power plug from the charger after charging and disconnect
the battery from the charger.
