In order for the battery to maintain its capacity and to give optimum perform­ance, it is important that the charging andstorageinstructionsarecarefullyfol­lowed.
• The battery used in this machine is a lead-acid type battery. This type of battery must always be stored fully charged.
• Always charge the battery indoors, in a garage, etc. where the battery is dry and protectedfrom
the weather.
• Only charge the battery when the tempe rature is at least 0° C and not over +40° C. Charging in lowerorhighertemperaturescandamagethe battery.
• Always keep the mower battery away from wa­ter, sources of heat (ovens, radiators ,open fires, etc.) and hazardous chemicals.
1. Press the plugs intothe steering sockets.Ensure that the plugs are inserted in the correct end.
2. Press the steering sockets into the holes in the chassis.
3. Fit the screws. Tighten securely.
4. Attach the handlebar to the steering sockets us­ing screws, washers and locking knobs. The handlebar can be tilted forward by loosening thelocking knobs slightly. Themower willthen take up less space during transportation.
5. Fix the electrical cable using a cable tie.
• Always use the accompanying genuine Stiga charger. Never use the charger for any other product.
• Neverusethechargerifitisdamagedinanyway. A damaged lead or charger should immediately be replaced at an authorised service workshop

Important: do not allow the battery powerto com­pletelyrundownas thismaydamagethebatteryand shorten its operational life.
MOWING TIPS
For best cutting results and to ensure that the bat­tery lasts as long as possible, the following rules should be followed:
• Drive the mower at a slow and even pace
• Try to avoid excessivestarting and stopping, as this draws a lot of current.
• Make surethatthe motor isrunning at full speed at all times when mowing.
• Mow regularly and often, especially when the grassisgrowingquickly. Do notmow more than a third of the total height of the grass during one mowing session.
• Always use a sharp blade.
Blunt and/ordamaged blades tear off the grass and make the lawn look ugly after mowin g.New, well­sharpened blades cut off the grass andensure thatit looks green and fresh after it has been mown.
Remove the battery. Put the accompanying wrench (36 mm) on the hexagon holder. Loosen the blade nut with an adjustable wrench or another type of fixed wrench (19 mm) (fig. 10). Turn the blade nut inan anti-clockwise direction in order to remove the blade.
Fitthe new bladeand refitall the otherpartsexactly as they were before they were dismantled, see fig.
10. Tighten the blade nut fully.
SHARPENING THE BLADE
W ater grinding with whetstone or a grinding stone shouldbe used to sharpen the blade.
For safety reasons, the blade should not be sharp­ened on an emery wheel. Too high a temperature can result in the blade becoming brittle.
If the blade is sharpened, it must be bal­anced afterwards to avoid vibration
• Do not use the mower when itis raining or when the grass is wet.
• Make surethat the undersideof the cutting deck is kept clean.
MAINTENANCE
Take out the safety key and remove the battery beforeany typeofmaintenance is carried out.
CLEANING
The mowershould be cleaned after each use. Use a moistenedcloth or sponge and a mild soap solution. Do not clean with water or solvents. Remove all grass clippings which might have gathered on the underside of the deck and in the ejector.
The grass collector, although not the mower it- self, can be cleaned with water. Grass collectionef­ficiency is reduced if the holes are blocked.
CHANGING THE BLADE
Check,before and after eachuse,that the blade is tightly fixed and that it is not damaged. A bent or damaged blade should immediatelybereplaced.Use pro­tective gloves to avoid cutting injuries.
