10 TRANSPORTING THE BATTERY
Perform the following measures before transport-
ing the appliance:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove the battery from the appliance.
3. Pack the battery properly (see below).
NOTE The following transport instructions
apply only to a battery with more than 100 Wh
nominal energy.
The Li ion battery contained in the appliance is
subject to the hazardous goods law, but can be
transported under simplified conditions:
■
The battery can be transported on public
roads by the private user without further con-
ditions provided it is packaged for retail sale
and the transport serves personal purposes.
■
Commercial users who carry out the trans-
port in connection with their main activity
(e.g. delivery from and to building sites, or
demonstrations) can also take advantage of
this simplification.
In both cases, it is essential to take the mandato-
ry precautions mentioned above to prevent any
leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is es-
sential to comply with the regulations of the haz-
ardous goods law! In the case of non-compli-

Cause
Motor is overloaded.
Cutting height is too low.
Grass is too long or too wet.
Mowing speed is too high.
The service life of the battery
has expired.
Battery contacts are soiled.
Battery or charger is defective.
Battery is too hot.
Remedy
Switch off the appliance, set down on level
ground or shorter grass and restart.
Increase the cutting height.
Improve the conditions: Let it dry, set a
higher cut
■
Reduce the mowing speed
■
Clean the housing; the cutting blade
must rotate freely.
Replace the battery. Use only genuine ac-
cessories from the manufacturer.
Clean the battery contacts with a non-metal-
lic object and spray with a contact spray.
Caution: Do not short-circuit the battery
contacts with a metallic object!
Order replacement parts from the manufac-
turer.
Allow the battery to cool down.
ance, severe penalties can be imposed on the
sender and possibly the transporter.
Additional notes on transport and shipment
■
Only transport or ship the Li ion battery in an
undamaged condition!
■
Use only the original cardboard box or a suit-
able hazardous goods cardboard box for
transporting the battery (not required for bat-
teries with a nominal energy less than
100 Wh).
■
Apply adhesive tape over exposed battery
contacts to avoid the risk of a short circuit.
■
Secure the battery against shifting in the
packaging to avoid damage to the battery.
■
Ensure the correct marking and documenta-
tion of the shipment for transport or shipping
(e.g. by parcel service or freight forwarding).
■
Check in advance that transport with the se-
lected service provider is possible and indi-
cate the shipment.
We recommend involving a hazardous goods
specialist in preparation of the shipment. Also
heed any further national regulations.
