7.2 BATTERY
7.2.1

Battery power reserve

Battery power reserve (and therefore the mowable lawn
surface before recharging is required) mainly depends on:
a. Environmental factors that cause
higher energy requirements:
– Mowing dense, high and/or wet grass.
b. Machine cutting width: the wider the
width, the greater is the energy need.
c. Operator behaviour that should be avoided:
– Switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working.
– Setting a cutting height that is too
low for the lawn conditions.
– Working at a speed that is too high in relation
to the amount of grass to be removed.
NOTE During use, the battery is protected against
total drainage with a protective device that switches
off the machine and stops it from working.
To optimise battery power reserve it
is always recommended to:
– Cut the grass when the lawn is dry.
– Cut the grass frequently so that it doesn't grow too tall.
– Set a higher cutting height when the grass is very
tall, then set a lower height and cut the lawn again.
– Do not use the machine in "mulching"
mode when the grass is very tall.
– Use of the "ECO" mode (par. 5.3.4).
If the need arises to use the machine for sessions which
exceed the capability of a standard battery, it is possible to:
– Purchase a second standard battery to immediately
replace the discharged battery, without
compromising the continuity of operations.
– Purchase a battery with an extended power reserve
compared to the standard version (par. 15.1).
7.2.2 Low battery warning lights (if provided).
On the machine cowl models there are warning
lights that illuminate and flash during work when
the battery charge level is low (Fig.26.0).
There are two warning thresholds:
1. Slow flashing (every two seconds):
about 15% of remaining battery.
2. Fast flashing: about 10% of remaining battery.
These values are approximate and they refer
to normal cutting conditions (par. 7.2.1).
In the models with "I"/"III" type handle
When the battery is flat the machine emits an acoustic
buzzer and the charge remaining indicator is 0%.
Stop the machine (par 6.5) and fully
recharge the battery (par. 7.2.3).
7.2.3 Battery removal and recharging
1. Open the battery housing hatch and remove the
safety key.
2. Press the side flap in the battery housing
(Fig.29.A) and remove the battery (Fig.29.B).
3. Insert the battery (Fig.29.B) in its hou-
sing in the battery charger (Fig.29.C).
4. Connect the battery charger to a power socket
with the voltage indicated on the rating plate.
5. Fully charge the battery according to the instruc-
tions in the battery/battery charger booklet.
NOTE The battery is equipped with a guard
that inhibits recharging if the environmental
temperature is not between 0 and +45 °C.
NOTE The battery can be recharged at any
time, even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
7.2.4 Refitting the battery on the machine
When recharging is completed:
1. Remove the battery from the housing in the battery
charger (do not keep recharging when recharging
is completed).
2. Disconnect the battery charger from
the mains power supply.
3. Open the battery housing hatch (Fig.30.A),
insert the battery (Fig.30.B) in its housing
pressing down until you hear it click firmly into
position and check the electrical contact.
4. Completely close the hatch again.
