BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
■
To preserve natural resources, recycle or dispose of
batteries properly.
■
Upon removal, cover the battery pack terminals with
heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy
or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its
components. Lithium batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Never touch both terminals with metal
objects and body parts as short circuit may result. Keep
the battery pack away from children. Failure to comply with
these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

■
Turn off the product, engage the parking brake, and
remove the start key. Make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop. Allow the product to cool
down before storing or transporting.
■
Remove all foreign materials from the product. Store the
product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place that is
inaccessible to children. The start key should be removed
and stored in a separate location out of the reach of children.
■
Keep the product away from corrosive agents, such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store the
product outdoors.
■
For transportation in vehicles, remove the start key,
and secure the product against movement or falling to
prevent injury to persons or damage to the product.
■
Use extra care when loading or unloading the product
into a trailer. Select low speed and carefully move the
joystick as needed to control the speed. Always back
onto the trailer when loading. When loading or unloading
the product, do not exceed the maximum recommended
operation angle of 12°. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in loss of control and result in death, serious
personal injury, or property damage.
■
Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting the product for
maintenance, cleaning, storage, or transportation. The
blade is sharp. Keep all body parts away from the blade
while it is exposed.
■
Store the product in a location where the ambient
temperature is between -10°C and 50°C.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

■
Transport the battery in accordance with local and
national provisions and regulations.
■
Follow all special requirements on packaging and
labelling when transporting batteries by a third party.
Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other
batteries or conductive materials while in transport
by protecting exposed connectors with insulating,
nonconductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries
that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding
company for further advice.

Original Instructions
TOWING SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Use common sense when towing equipment. Too heavy
of a load while on a slope is dangerous. Tyres can lose
traction with the ground and cause you to lose control
of the product.
■
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights.
■
Total towed weight must not exceed the maximum
towing load indicated in the product specifications
section.
■
Attach tow equipment only at the hitch plate.
■
Never allow children or others on the towed equipment.
■
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of
load being towed. Travel slowly, and allow extra time
and distance to stop.
■
Do not turn sharply when towing. Use additional caution
when turning or operating under adverse surface
conditions. Use care when reversing.

MAINTENANCE

■
Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and
may void your warranty.
■
Service on the product and the charger must be
performed by qualified repair personnel only. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could
result in injury to user or damage to the product. Have
the product serviced by an authorised service centre
only.
■
Maintain the product with care and in good working
condition. Keep blades sharp and guards in place and
in working order. To prevent serious personal injury,
prevent damage to the product, and to maintain best
performance, replace damaged, bent, cracked, or
unevenly worn out blades. An unbalanced blade causes
vibration that could damage the motor drive unit or could
cause personal injury.
■
Turn off the product, engage the parking brake, and
remove the start key. Make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop:
●
before leaving the product unattended (including
disposal of grass clippings)
●
before clearing blockages or unclogging the
discharge chute
●
before checking, cleaning, or working on the product
●
