7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The safety regulations to follow are described in
chap. 2. Strictly comply with these instructions to avoid
serious risks or dangers.
Before commencing any inspections, cleaning or
maintenance/adjustments on the machine:
• Stop the machine.
• Remove the safety key, (never leave the key inserted or
within the reach of children or unauthorised persons).
• Make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
• Allow the motor to cool before storing
in an enclosed space.
• Read the relevant instructions.
• Use suitable clothing, protective gloves and goggles.
– The frequency and types of maintenance are
summarised in the "Maintenance Table". The
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
task as soon as it is scheduled to be performed.
– 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 Centres and Dealers.
IMPORTANT Any maintenance and adjustment
operations not described in this manual must be
carried out by your Authorised Service Centre.
7.2 BATTERY
7.2.1 Battery power reserve
Battery power reserve (and therefore the lawn
surface that can be mown 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: wider settings
involve higher energy consumption.
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 with very high grass.
– Use of the "ECO" mode (par. 5.5).
If the need arises to use the machine for sessions which
exceed the capability of standard batteries, it is possible to:
– Purchase additional batteries, to immediately
replace the exhausted batteries, without
compromising the use continuity.
– Purchase batteries with an extended power reserve
compared to the standard version (par. 15.2).
