8. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
8.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
DANGER
The safety regulations to follow are described in
chap. 2. Strictly comply with these instructions to
avoid serious risks or hazards.
Before conducting any inspections, cleaning or
maintenance/adjustment interventions on the
machine:
1. disengage the cutting means;
2. stop the machine;
3. make sure that all moving parts have come to
a complete stop;
4. remove the key;
DANGER
Never leave the key in the ignition or within reach
of children or unauthorised persons.
5. read the relevant instructions;
6. Use suitable clothing, protective gloves and
goggles.
The frequency and types of maintenance are
summarised in the "Maintenance Table". This
table will help you maintain your machine's
safety and performance. It summarises the main
interventions to be made and the frequency
applicable to each of them. Carry out the relevant
intervention according to the first deadline.
The use of non-genuine and/or incorrectly
assembled spare parts and attachments could
adversely affect machine operation and safety.
The manufacturer shall decline all liability in the
event of injuries or damages caused by such
parts.
Genuine spare parts are supplied by authorised
assistance workshops and dealers.
8.2 BATTERY
8.2.1 Battery power reserve
The battery autonomy (and therefore the lawn
area that can be worked before recharging) is
mainly depending on:
A. Working factors, producing a higher energy
consumption (e.g. cutting thick, high, wet
grass).
B. Operator behaviour that should be avoided:
• switching the machine on and off frequently
whilst working;
• an excessive amount of grass removed in
relation to the conditions of the lawn;
• working at a speed that is too high in relation
to the amount of grass to be removed.
C. Environmental conditions, such as high
environmental temperature exceeding
+35°C.
To optimise battery life
it is always advisable:
• to cut the grass when the lawn is dry;
• to cut the grass frequently so that it doesn't
grow too tall;
• to 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.
• to cut the grass at an environmental
temperature ranging between +5 and +35°C.
8.2.2 Recharging the battery
The power needed to operate the machine is
provided by a battery, which requires proper
maintenance to ensure its efficiency and long life.
The machine battery must always be charged:
• Before using the machine for the first time after
purchase.
• When the minimum charge threshold is
reached (fig. 9.B).
• Before leaving the machine inactive for any
extended period of time
• At least once a month when in storage.
• Before starting up the machine after a
prolonged period of inactivity.
WARNING
When the battery is not connected to the mains
via the battery charger, the battery charge
decreases even if the machine is not being used.
If the batteries were to be drained significantly,
they could be severely damaged to the point of
being unusable. The warranty does not cover
damage resulting from a battery that has not
been charged regularly.
WARNING
Charging must only take place via the charging
socket (fig. 16.B) using the battery charger
(fig. 16.D) supplied or another type indicated
in the "Technical Data" table. Other recharging
systems can irreversibly damage the battery.
WARNING
The battery must be recharged in an environment
protected from the weather, in the shade, at a
temperature ranging between +5 and + 35 °C.
