Do not smash the starter battery. The electro-
lyte (sulphuric acid) causes chemical burns to
the skin and clothing – immediately rinse
away with plenty of water.
■
Keep the starter battery clean. Only wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Do not use water, pet-
rol, thinners or similar for this purpose.
■
Keep the connection terminals clean and
grease them with terminal grease.
■
Do not short-circuit the connection terminals.
Charging the starter battery
Charging is required:
■
Before putting into storage before the winter
break.
■
If the machine will not be used for a long time
(longer than 3 months).
WARNING! Danger if the starter battery
is not charged correctly! The charging current
of the charger must not exceed 5 A, and the
charging voltage can only be max. 14.4 V. Risk of
explosion of the starter battery if the charging
current is more powerful! Always remove the igni-
tion key before starting work on the battery.
We recommend charging this maintenance-free,
gas-tight starter battery using a specifically suit-
able charger (which can be obtained through re-
tail outlets).
Comply with the operating instructions of the
charger manufacturer before and during charging
of the starter battery.
CAUTION! Danger of a short circuit! To
avoid a short circuit, always disconnect the nega-
tive cable (-) of the battery first, and reconnect it
last! Always remove the ignition key before start-
ing work on the battery!
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Open the bonnet (01/7).
3. Connect the charger terminals to the connec-
tion terminals of the battery.
NOTE Check the polarity:
■
Red terminal = positive terminal (+)
■
Black terminal = negative terminal (-)
1. Connect the charger to the mains and switch
it on.

10 TRANSPORT

When transporting the ride-on mower using
transport equipment (e.g. passenger car trailer),
the mower mechanism must be supported from
below to reduce the strain on the mower mecha-
nism mounting.
During transport, make sure that the means of
transport has a sufficient load capacity and that
the ride-on mower is suitably secured.

11 STORAGE

Protection against weather effects
The ride-on mower should be parked where it is
protected against the effects of weather, espe-
cially moisture, rain and lengthy exposure to di-
rect sunlight. Particularly the UV radiation con-
tained in sunlight can cause plastic parts to fade,
and damage them, in the event of long-term ex-
posure.
Parking the ride-on mower
Never store the ride-on mower with fuel in the
tank inside a building in which fuel vapours may
possibly come into contact with naked flames or
sparks. Only park the ride-on mower in rooms
that are suitable for storing motor vehicles.
Long periods of storage
If possible, the ride-on mower should not be
stored for long periods, e.g. over winter, with a
full fuel tank. The fuel can evaporate.
Before long-term storage, the fuel should be
drained from the tank and the carburettor in order
to avoid any build-up of deposits, which could re-
sult in problems when starting. Please contact
your specialist workshop for advice.
