IMPORTANT

 To guarantee optimal machine operation, 

it is recommended to use two batteries at the same time.

The battery power reserve (and therefore the lawn 

surface to be mown before recharging) depends 

on many factors, described in (par. 7.2.1).

During use, the charge status of the batteries is 

displayed (remaining charge percentage) (Fig.7.E).

IMPORTANT

 If the motor stops because 

it is overheated whilst mowing, you must wait 

approximately 5 minutes before restarting it.

 6.4.1  Grass cutting

1.

Start moving forward and mowing the grass area.

2.

Adjust speed and cutting height (para 5.6) in 

relation to lawn conditions (grass height, density 

and humidity) and the amount of grass to be cut.

For traction models (par. 5.4):

 It is recommended to 

avoid mowing on slopes with a degree higher than 15°.

3.

The appearance of the lawn will improve 

if you alternate cutting in both directions 

at the same height (Fig.18).

For side discharge:

 it is recommended to follow 

a path so as to avoid discharging the cut grass 

from the part of the lawn that is yet to be mown.

For mulching or rear grass discharge:

• 

Always avoid removing a large quantity of 

grass. Never cut more than one third of the 

total grass height per single pass (Fig.18).

• 

Keep the chassis clean (par. 7.3.1).

 6.4.2 

Suggestions for maintaining your lawn

• 

To keep a lawn lush and green, it should be cut 

regularly. A lawn can be composed of different types 

of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently, grass and roots 

grow more vigorously, forming a solid grassy bed; 

if the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and 

weeds start growing (clover and daisies, etc.). The 

frequency of mowing should be in relation to the 

rate of growth of the grass, which should not be left 

to grow too much between one cut and the next.

• 

The best height of grass on a well-kept lawn is approx. 

4-5cm. With one mow, you do not need to remove more 

than a third of the total height. If the grass is very tall, 

it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour period; The 

first time with the cutting means at maximum cutting 

height and the second cut at the height desired.

• 

Cutting too low tears and uproots the grass, 

giving it a “spotted” appearance.

• 

During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a 

little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.

• 

It is always better to cut the grass when it is dry. Do 

not cut wet grass; this could reduce cutting means 

efficiency due to sticky grass and tear the lawn.

• 

The cutting means must be in good state and well 

sharpened so that the grass is cut straight without a 

ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.

 6.4.3  Grass catcher emptying

When the grass catcher (Fig.1.H) becomes too 

full, the grass collection is no longer efficient 

and the lawn mower's noise changes.

For grass catcher with contents indicator device:

1.

Lifted = empty.

2.

Lowered = full.

During operation, when the cutting means is moving, 

the indicator stays lifted as long as the grass catcher 

can collect the cut grass; when it is lowered, it means 

that the grass catcher is full and must be emptied.

To remove and empty the grass catcher:

1.

Release both levers (Fig.19.A) and (Fig.19.B).

2.

Wait until the cutting means stops.

3.

Grab the handle and remove the grass 

catcher, keeping it in upright position.

 6.5  STOPPING THE MACHINE

To stop the machine:

1.

Release both levers (Fig.19.A) and (Fig.19.B).

2.

Press the power button (Fig.16.A)

.

3.

Wait until the cutting means stops.

  After stopping the machine, it will take a few sec-

onds for the cutting means to stop.

IMPORTANT

 Always stop the machine.

• 

When moving between work areas.

• 

When driving on grass free surfaces.

• 

Every time it is necessary to overcome an obstacle.

• 

Before adjusting the cutting height.

• 

Any time the grass catcher is removed or refitted.

• 

Any time the side discharge chute (if 

available) is removed or refitted.

 6.6  AFTER OPERATION
1. 

Stop the machine (par. 6.5).

2. 

Open the hatch and remove the safety key.

3. 

Remove the batteries from their hous

-

ing and recharge them (par 7.2.2).

4. 

Allow the motor to cool before stor

-

ing in an enclosed space.

5. 

Clean (par. 7.3).

6. 

Check there are no loose or damaged compo

-

nents. If necessary, replace the damaged com
