■ Technical Issue: a ashing red LED light on
the charger indicates that battery pack has a
charging problem or might be defective.
- One possible condition is the battery
temperature is not within the charging
temperature range of 35.6°F - 109.4°F or
the charging current is too high. As soon as
the permitted temperature and the charging
current ranges are reached, the battery
charger will automatically switch to charging.
- If the temperature range and charging
current are correct and ashing red LED
light continues, then remove and reinstall
the battery pack. If the LED status repeats a
second time, try to charge another identical
battery. If the battery charges normally,
dispose of the defective battery pack (see
Environmental Safe Battery Disposal section).
- If the ashing red light continues after
installing the second battery, the charger may
be defective. Replace with a new one.
■ After continuous or repeated charging
cycles without interruption, the charger
may warm up. This is normal and does not
indicate a technical defect of the battery
charger.

OPERATION
MOWING
See Figure 23, page v
■ Make sure the lawn is clear of stones,
sticks, wires, and other objects that could
damage the lawn mower blades or motor.
Such objects could be accidentally thrown by
the mower in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator and others.
■ For a healthy plot of grass, always cut off
one-third or less of the total length of the
grass blades.
■ When cutting heavy grass, reduce walking
speed to allow for more effective cutting and
a proper mulching or discharge of the
clippings.
■ Do not cut wet grass. It will stick to the
underside of the deck (12) and prevent
proper mulching or discharge of grass
clippings.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause the product
damage.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
with side shields during the operation of this
mower. If the operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
■ New or thick grass may require a narrower
cutting swath.
■ Clean the underside of the mower deck (12)
after each use to remove grass clippings,
leaves, dirt, and any other accumulated
debris. Mow in slight overlapping rows. The
most effective pattern for mowing lawns is
straight lines parallel to one of the sides.
This will keep the rows even and ensure that
all the lawn is cut without missing any spots
(Fig.23).
AFTER USE
■ Switch the product off, remove the battery
pack (21) and let it cool down.
■ Check, clean and store the mower as
described in Storing The Mower in the Care
And Maintenance section of this manual.
