The intelligent charger measures the charge level of the battery and charges the battery accordingly with the required current and voltage based on battery temperature and voltage. This ensures maximum battery life. Charge the battery fully before ﬁrst use and storage.

A ﬂashing red LED light on the charger indicates that the battery temperature is not within the charging temperature range of -5°C - 50°C 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.

PREPARATION

Continuous runtime

i. This lawn mower is supplied with two battery packs for

your convenience and to increase the run time during operation providing an almost unlimited run time to cut over 1200m ensure both batteries are fully charged before ﬁrst operation.

ii. Once the ﬁrst battery becomes depleted during operation,

the second battery can be installed, replacing the used battery to continue mowing.

iii. Recharge one battery in the supplied 1 hour fast charger

whilst using the other supplied battery.

Fit the battery

i. Lift the battery compartment cover on the lawnmower

deck and slide the battery along the guide rails ensuring the battery locks into position.

ii. Insert the isolator key.

iii. To remove the battery, stop the lawnmower, lift the battery

cover and remove the isolator key, activate the release latch on the battery and slide the battery out of the chamber.

AFTER SALES SUPPORT 0345 605 2068 23

OPERATION

Setting the cutting heights

IMPORTANT! Set the cutting height only when the motor is switched off and the battery pack has been removed.

Stop the machine, release the switch lever, remove the isolator key and wait until the blade stops before adjusting the cutting height. Remember, the blade may continue to rotate after the machine is switched off. A rotating blade can cause injury.

CAUTION! Do not touch rotating blades.

Before using the mower for the ﬁrst time, adjust the cutting position to the height best suited for your lawn.

The mower can be set to 6 cutting heights between 22mm and 72mm. Choose the appropriate cutting height according to the type and conditions of the grass.

To set the cutting height:

1. To raise the cutting height, grasp the cutting height adjustment handle, disengage the handle from its current setting, then move it toward the back of the mower and engage the handle in the desired cutting height position on the mower deck.

2. To lower the cutting height, grasp the cutting height adjustment handle, disengage the handle from its current setting, then move it toward the front of the mower and engage the handle in the desired cutting height position on the mower deck.

Cutting Position Cutting Height

1 22mm 2 32mm 3 42mm 4 52mm 5 62mm 6 72mm

For the ﬁrst cut each season, a higher cutting setting should be selected.

Using a cutting height that is too low in longer grass will use more power and shorten battery run time. It is recommended to cut longer grass in 2 passes or more. This method will also cause less stress to your grass for a healthier lawn.

Before you begin to mow, check to ensure that the blade is not blunt and that none of the fasteners are damaged. To prevent any imbalance, replace blunt and/or damaged blades. To carry out this check, ﬁrst switch off the motor and remove the battery and isolator key.

OPERATION

Using as a mulcher

Do not attach the grass collection bag and the mulching plug at the same time.

The mulching plug allows the grass clippings to be deposited back on the lawn during cutting.

To install the mulching plug:

i. Lift the deﬂector guard and detach the grass

collection bag.

ii. Lift and hold the deﬂector guard up with one hand.

iii. With other hand grasp the mulching plug by its

upright handle and insert the plug into the rear discharge chute. Ensure that the locking latch snaps into place. The mulching plug MUST be removed if the grass collection bag is used.

To remove the mulching plug:

i. To remove the mulching plug, grip the post and

squeeze the lever, push down (1) to release the catch (2). Once the catch is released the mulching plug can be lifted out of the mower (3)

Mowing tips

• Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires,

and other objects that could damage the lawn mower.

• When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in

order to allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the clippings.

• Never cut off more than one-third of the total length

of the grass for a healthy lawn. If it is roughly 6cm long, the grass should not be shorter than 4cm once mowed. If the grass is higher, you should gradually cut it down to the desired length so as not to damage the grass.

• Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to

the underbody of the lawn mower, preventing the proper discharge of grass clippings.

• Empty the collection bag before it is completely

full. Continuing to mow with a full collection bag increases power consumption and reduces runtime.

debris. Remove clippings from the discharge chute.

ii. Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing

free of dirt and dust. Wipe the equipment with a soft brush or blow with compressed air at low pressure.

iii. Clean the mower regularly with a clean, dry cloth. Do

not use cleaning agents or solvents; these may damage plastic components.

iv. Check all nuts and bolts periodically for tightness before

operation. After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the cutting blade will become worn and lose some of its original shape. The cutting efﬁciency will be reduced and the cutting blade should be replaced.

v. Lubricate the cutting blade after each use to prolong the

life span of the cutting blade and product. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the cutting blade.

Replacing the cutting blade

Keep the cutting blade sharp to ensure a good cutting performance is maintained. Replace a worn or damaged cutting blade with a new one of the same type or have it sharpened by a qualiﬁed specialist.

i. Ensure the mower is turned off and the battery pack and

isolator key are removed.

ii. Wear gloves and ﬁrmly hold the blade. Loosen the blade

bolt anticlockwise using a suitable wrench and remove it together with the blade.

iii. Replace the blade with a new one of the same type.

iv. Reattach the blade onto the spindle, ensuring the blade’s

wings are angled upwards towards the mower deck. Pay attention that the blade is position correctly and the screw is tightened ﬁrmly. Tighten the bolt clockwise with 16 Nm min, 20 Nm max. to ensure safe operation of your product.

NOTE: Replace this cutting blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is sooner regardless of condition.
