Eco Mode Switch; Folding Down The Handlebar; Adjusting The Cutting Height; Notes On Working With The Machine - Stihl RMA 2 RP Instruction Manual

● Close the battery compartment
cover (1).

9.2 Eco mode switch

The eco mode switch that increases
battery running time is located in the
battery compartment. ( 10.2)
Switching on eco mode:
● Move switch to position I.
Switching off eco mode:
● Move switch to position 0.

9.3 Folding down the handlebar

The handlebar can be folded down
for space-saving transport and
storage of the mower.
Danger of pinching!
The handlebar can fold down
uncontrollably when the quick-
clamping devices are released.
For this reason, always hold the
handlebar with one hand when you
release the fastening.
● Switch off the motor immediately and
disconnect the safety plug. (
● Open the left and right quick-clamping
devices (1) and carefully fold the
handlebar (2) downwards to the front.

9.4 Adjusting the cutting height

Risk of injury!
Stop the motor before adjusting the
cutting height.
0478 131 9939 C - EN
Four different cutting heights between
28 mm and 85 mm can be set.
Level 1 = lowest cutting height
Level 4 = highest cutting height
Risk of injury!
11
The setting on the front and rear
axles must be identical.
1 Setting the rear cutting height
● Set the required cutting height at the
rear axle (1).
For this purpose, support the machine
with one hand and move the rear axle to
the desired level on one side first and
then on the other.
Ensure that the rear axle is at the same
level on the left and right sides (rear
axle parallel to the housing).

2 Setting the front cutting height
● Push the cutting height adjustment
lever (2) outwards, move to the desired
level and allow it to engage.
10. Notes on working with
the machine

10.1 General

12.3) To ensure a perfect, thick lawn, mow
regularly and keep the grass short.
Do not cut the lawn too short in hot, dry
conditions as it will dry out or burn in the
sun and become unsightly.
The cutting pattern will be better with a
sharp blade than with a blunt one; the
blade should therefore be sharpened
13
regularly (STIHL specialist dealer).

10.2 Cutting performance

The cutting performance (battery running
time) depends on the quality of the grass
and the selected cutting height. The
cutting performance is enhanced by the
following measures:
– Mowing the lawn more frequently
– Increasing the cutting height
– Reducing speed of propulsion
– Allowing the lawn to dry before mowing.
If required, additional STIHL lithium ion
batteries can be purchased (special
accessories).
Eco mode:
The lawn mower features an
eco mode, which improves its
energy efficiency and therefore
its cutting performance.
Eco mode can be switched on and off
using the switch in the battery
compartment. ( 9.2)
Function:
The speed of the motor is reduced
automatically when less power is required.
If more power is required, the speed is
increased again within a fraction of a
second.

10.3 Working area for operator

● For safety reasons, the operator
must stay within the working area
behind the handlebar when the motor is
running. Always observe the safety
distance provided by the handlebar.
● The lawn mower must only be operated
by one person. Other persons must
keep out of the danger area. (
