Charging The Battery - Parkside PBAM 224 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

NOTE!
Risk of damage!
Operating the engine without the filter element in place can
cause engine damage.
- Never run the engine without the air filter element in place.
Fouled air filters (18a) diminish the engine output due to
reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is
therefore essential.
The air filter should be checked every 25 operating hours and
cleaned as required. The air filter must be checked more often
in case of very dusty air.
1. Fold up the body as described at 10.1.
2. Open the screw (36) of the air filter housing (18) and lift
off the housing.
3. Clean the air filter (18a) only by knocking it out.
4. Assemble the air filter housing (18) and the air filter (18a)
in reverse order.
13.3.6 Spark plug maintenance (fig. 1)
Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 operating
hours and if necessary, clean it with a copper wire brush.
Thereafter, replace the spark plug every 50 operating hours
if necessary.
1. Pull off the spark plug connector (20) with a twisting
motion.
2. Remove the spark plug (20a) with a spark plug wrench (a).
Use a feeler gauge to set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030").
Replace the spark plug (20a) and take care not to pull it too
firmly.
13.3.7 Replacing the fuse (fig. 14)
The electric start is protected by a 10A fuse (29).
Never use another fuse and never bypass it.
1. Fold up the body as described in 10.1 (fig. 7).
2. Open the fuse holder (29a)
3. Remove the defective fuse (29) from the holder (29a).
4. Insert a new 10A fuse (29).
5. Close the fuse holder (29a).

13.3.8 Charging the battery

The battery is charged during operation. In any case, frequent
starting may make it necessary to charge the battery with the
included charging unit (25):
1. Plug the connector into the charging socket (15) and the
charging unit (25) into a plug socket. 230V~/50Hz
2. Charge the battery for min. 5 hours.
13.3.9 Charging the battery with a car charging
unit (fig. 15)
m DANGER!
Danger due to incorrect charging of the starter
battery!
If the charging voltage is too high, there is a danger of the
starter battery exploding.
- The charging current of the charging unit must not exceed 5
A and the charging voltage must not exceed 14.4 V.
- Always remove the ignition key (30) from the ignition lock
(10) when working on the battery.
Attention!
Danger of short circuit!
To avoid a short circuit, always disconnect the negative cable
(-) from the battery (16a) first and reconnect it last.
- Always remove the ignition key (30) from the ignition lock
(10) when working on the battery (16a).
- Observe the polarity.
You may also charge the battery with the included charging
cable (28) on an industry-standard car charging unit for 12V
lead batteries.
1. To do this, disconnect the battery connection cable (24)
and the engine connection cable (24a). (Fig. 9)
2. Connect the supplied charging cable (28) to the battery
(16a). Connect the black cable to the negative terminal
(-) and the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the
charging unit.
Attention!
Danger of short circuit!
When connecting/disconnecting the battery connection cable
(24), make sure that the poles (+/-) do not touch each other
and/or the frame.
To avoid a short circuit, always disconnect the negative (-)
cable from the charging unit first and reconnect it last.
Always store the petrol ride-on lawnmower with the battery
(16a) fully charged.
13.3.10 Checking tyre pressure
1. Check the tyre pressure before starting (see also 10.4)!
1. Check the tyre pressure with a commercially available foot
pump (not included in the scope of delivery) at regular
intervals.
2. If necessary, top up with air using a commercially available
foot air pump (not included in the scope of delivery) by
first removing the wheel caps (4a + 7a) and the cap of
the valve. The correct tyre pressure is 1.3 bar in the front
wheels (7) and 1.8 bar in the rear wheels (4).
3. Important: If the tyre pressure is too low, the risk of damage
to the valves and therefore the hoses increases.
Note: If you notice that the tyres or wheels are damaged,
please contact the customer service or a specialist workshop.
13.3.11 Repair
After any repair or maintenance work, check that all safety-
related parts are in place and in perfect condition. All
parts which may cause injury must be kept where they are
inaccessible to children or others.
Attention: According to the German Product Liability Act, no
liability is accepted for damage caused by improper repairs or
by not using original spare parts.
Such work should be performed by a customer service centre
or an authorised specialist. The same applies to accessory
parts.
Important note in the case of repairs:
When returning the device for repair, please ensure for safety
reasons that it is free of oil and petrol when it is sent to the
service centre.
