Do not connect the battery charger directly to the engine
terminal. It is not possible to ignite the engine using the
battery charger as a power source, as it may get dam-
aged.
If you do not use the lawnmower for a long period of
time, disconnect the battery from the engine wiring,
making sure the charge level is good.
• Electric push-button ignition models
Read the engine instruction manual for instructions regard-
ing autonomy, recharging, reinstating and maintenance of
the battery.
The battery does not require charging in motors (3.2 b -
V). It can only be charged with an external USB charging
device (not supplied with the machine) in emergency
situations. Follow the instructions provided in the engine
manual.
