– Mowing dense, high and/or wet grass.
Machine cutting width; wider settings involve high-
b.
er energy consumption.
Operator behaviour that should be avoided:
c.
– Switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working.
– Setting a cutting height that is too
low for the lawn conditions.
– Working at a speed that is too high in relation
to the amount of grass to be removed.
NOTE During use, the battery is protected against total
drainage with a protective device that switches off the ma-
chine and prevents its operation.
To optimise battery power reserve it is always recommend-
ed to:
– Cut the grass when the lawn is dry.
– Cut the grass frequently so that it doesn't grow too tall.
– Set a higher cutting height when the grass is very
tall, then set a lower height and cut the lawn again.
– Do not use the machine in "mulching"
mode with very high grass.
– Use of the "ECO" mode (par. 5.2.4).
If the need arises to use the machine for sessions which ex-
ceed 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 (par. 13.2).
