7.2 BATTERY

7.2.1 Battery power reserve
Battery power reserve (and therefore the
cuttable vegetation area before recharging
is required) mainly depends on:
a. Environmental factors, that cause
higher energy requirements:
– cutting, high, wet vegetation;
b. operator behaviour that should be avoided:
– switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
– adopting a cutting technique
that is unsuitable for the work to
be performed (par. 6.4.1).
To optimise battery power reserve
it is always recommended to:
• cut the grass when dry;
• use the most appropriate technique for
the work to be performed (par. 6.4.1).
If the need arises to use the machine for
sessions which exceed the capability of
a standard battery, it is possible to:
• purchase a second standard battery
to immediately replace the discharged
battery, without compromising
the continuity of operations;
• purchase a battery with an extended
power reserve compared to the
standard version (para. 15.1).
7.2.2 Battery removal and recharging
help
1. Press the locking button located on the
battery on the machine (Fig. 19.A) or on
the backpack (Fig. 20. A) (if available);
2. remove the battery from the machine
(Fig. 19.B) or from the battery
backpack (Fig. 20.B) (if available);
