4. ASSEMBLY

FIXING HANDLE (Fig. 3-4-5)
- Lift the handle as in Fig. 3. Tighten the knobs (A, Fig. 5) after
positioning the handle (B) at the correct height. Choose one
of the two positions (C, Fig. 4).
HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 5)
Unscrew knobs (A) and lift or lower the handle (B).
GRASS CATCHER
Fix the support bar (N, Fig.6).
IMPORTANT! – The rail must be the right way up. One
side (X, Fig.7) is bigger, and this must face away from the
grass catcher. The smaller side (Y) should face toward
the grass catcher. The handlebar rail must be pushed
fully home and locked (Fig.8). NB: the locking action is
accompanied by an audible click.
Now assemble the mesh part (D, Fig.9) of the catcher with the
rigid top (E) by securing the relative catches (F). Begin at the
rear, and finish with the two sides.

5. STARTING

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
CHECKING THE MACHINE
WARNING! Make sure that the battery is not fitted in its
housing.
Before beginning work, it is necessary to:
- check that the operating lever and safety button can move
freely, without forcing, and that upon release they return
quickly and automatically to their neutral position;
- check that the operating lever stays locked, if the safety
button is not pressed;
- check that the cooling vents are not clogged;
- check that the handles and machine guards are clean and
dry, correctly assembled and firmly secured to the
machine;
- check that the cutting devices and guards are not
damaged;
- check that the machine has no signs of wear or damage
due to impact or other causes, and make the necessary
repairs;
- check that the battery is in good conditions and that there
are no signs of damage. Do not use the machine with a
damaged or worn battery;
- charge the battery following the instructions given in the
chapter "Charging the battery".
CHECKING THE STATUS OF THE BATTERY (Fig.13)
To check the battery (A) charge status, press button (B) which
activates 4 LEDs (C) which mean the following:
4 LED lights on = Duration = 4/4
3 LED lights on = Duration = 3/4
2 LED lights on = Duration >= 2/4
1 LED light on = Duration =< 1/4
1 Flashing LED light = battery is flat
4 Flashing LED lights = overheating
CHARGING THE BATTERY (fig.14)
CAUTION: Make sure that the mains voltage of the power outlet
corresponds to that indicated on the battery charger label.
To remove the battery (A, Fig.12) from the machine, press the
two buttons (B) and slide the battery out.
To recharge battery:
- connect the battery charger (C) to a power outlet; the
presence of voltage is indicated by the red warning light
(D) switching on.
- insert the battery (A) into its housing in the battery charger
(C), pushing all the way. Recharging a completely flat
battery requires approx. 113 minutes (2.5 Ah) and 225
minutes (5 Ah).
The recharging stages are indicated by the warning light (D):
