Take the weight of the machine into account and use suitable loading aids (loading ramps, lifters) if necessary.

Avoid contact with the blade when lifting and carrying the machine.

Only transport the machine once the motor has cooled down.

Secure the machine and any machine components being transported (e.g. grass catcher box) on the load floor using adequately-dimensioned fastening material (belts, ropes etc.).

When transporting the machine, always observe regional legislation, especially regarding load security and the transport of objects on load floors.

Do not leave the battery inside a vehicle and never expose it to direct sunlight.

Lithium-ion batteries must be treated with special care during transport. In particular, it must be ensured that short circuits are prevented during transport of the batteries. For this reason, keep the original cardboard packaging of the battery and always transport STIHL batteries either in the undamaged original packaging or in the lawn mower.

4.5 Preparations

Persons who are not familiar with the instruction manual are not permitted to use the machine.

Observe the local regulations regarding permitted operating times for gardening power tools.

Always wear robust shoes and long trousers when mowing. Never mow barefoot or in

sandals.

Carefully inspect the complete area on which the machine is to be used and remove any large stones, sticks, wires, bones or other foreign objects which could be thrown up by the machine.

Before use, perform a visual check to ensure that the cutting tool, fastening screws and entire cutting unit are in good condition, check particularly for secure seating, damage and wear ( 13.6).

Replace all worn or damaged parts before using the machine. Replace any illegible or damaged danger signs and warnings on the machine. Your VIKING dealer has a stock of replacement stickers.

Never use the mower with damaged safety devices, without functioning motor brake or attached safety devices, e.g. without the discharge flap or the grass-catching unit.

For safety reasons, always use an undamaged grass catcher box.

The switch mechanisms installed in the machine must not be removed or bypassed (e.g. by tying the motorstop lever to the handlebar).

Follow the instructions in the "Battery" ( 4.2) and "Charger" ( 4.3) sections.

4.6 Mowing procedure

Keep others, particularly children, and animals out of the danger area. Make sure that

others are not endangered.

Do not mow at ambient temperatures below +5°C (41°F).

VIKING recommends wearing hearing protection at all times when working. IF the sound pressure level at workplace

exceeds 80 dB(A), hearing protection should always be worn.

Do not mow in the rain. Working in the rain or in a wet environment can cause damage to the machine.

Never mow wet grass or mow in the rain. The risk of accidents is higher if the grass is wet (increased danger of slipping for operator).

Do not leave the lawn mower in the rain.

Only mow during the day or when there is enough light.

Place the machine on an even surface for before starting. The machine must not be tilted when starting the motor.

The lawn mower must only be operated when the battery compartment is closed ( 9.2).

Exercise care when starting the motor. Observe the instructions in the section "Initial operation of the machine" ( 12.). Keep your feet a safe distance from the cutting tool.

Only operate the machine at walking speed – never run when working with the machine. Working quickly with the machine increases the risk of injury due to stumbling, slipping etc.

Switch off the motor,

• if tilting of the mower is necessary when transporting over surfaces other than grass,
• when pushing the mower to and from mowing areas,
  – before removing the grass catcher box.

Always ensure good stability on slopes. Avoid mowing on excessively steep slopes in order to prevent loss of control of the machine.

Be particularly careful when changing direction on a slope in order to prevent loss of control of the machine.

Only mow at right-angles to the slope and never up or down the slope, in order to avoid being run over by the running lawn mower in the case of loss of control of the machine or of falling.

Caution – Risk of stumbling!

Be particularly careful when moving backwards and when pulling the lawn mower.

Be particularly careful when turning the machine around or pulling it towards you.

For safety reasons, the machine must not be used on slopes with an incline of more than 25^ (46.6%).

Risk of injury:

A slope inclination of 25^ corresponds to a vertical height increase of 46.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal distance.

max. 25° 100 46,6

Beware of the work tools running on for several seconds before coming to a standstill.

Do not try to examine the blades while the lawn mower is operating. Never open the

discharge flap and/or remove the grass catcher box when the mowing blade is running. Rotating blades can cause injury.

Never attach any objects to the handlebar (e.g. work clothing).

Regularly check that the blade is securely fastened and is not damaged or worn in any way ( 13.6).

Caution – risk of injury! Never put hands or feet on or underneath rotating parts. Never touch the rotating blade.

Always keep away from the discharge opening. Always observe the safety distance provided by the handlebar.

Avoid switching on the machine repeatedly within a short period of time; in particular avoid "playing" with the start button. Risk of motor overheating.

Never lift or carry a mower with the motor running or with the safety plug connected.

It is not permitted to transport anything or anyone, particularly children, on the machine.

Switch off the motor, remove the safety plug and ensure that the cutting tool has come to a

complete standstill

– before removing the battery;
– before remedying blockages, including those in the discharge chute,
- if the mower begins to vibrate excessively. In this case, the complete machine, in particular the cutting tool must be checked for possible damage and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced prior to further use, loose parts must be fastened/tightened.

• if the cutting tool has hit a foreign object. The cutting tool needs to be checked for possible damage. The lawn mower must not be operated with a damaged or bent blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk of injury through defective parts!
  – before you check, clean or carry out work on the mower, e.g. adjusting the cutting height, opening or closing the discharge flap;
  – before leaving the machine unattended;
  – before lifting, or carrying the machine;
  – before transporting the machine.

4.7 Maintenance, cleaning, repairs and storage

Switch off the machine, remove the safety plug and if necessary remove the battery before working on the machine or before adjusting or cleaning the mower.

Always wear thick gloves when carrying out any work on the cutting tool.

Allow the machine to fully cool down before storing it in an enclosed place, performing maintenance on it or cleaning it.

Perform only those maintenance operations that are described in this instruction manual. Have all other operations carried out by a specialist dealer.

VIKING recommends that you have maintenance operations and repairs performed exclusively by a VIKING specialist dealer.

VIKING specialist dealers regularly attend training courses and are provided with technical information.

If you do not have the necessary expertise or auxiliary equipment, please always contact a specialist dealer. (VIKING recommends VIKING specialist dealers).

Only use high quality tools, accessories and spare parts. Otherwise, there may be a risk of accidents resulting in personal injury or damage to the machine.

VIKING recommends the use of genuine VIKING tools, genuine accessories and genuine spare parts. Their properties are optimally adapted to the machine and the user's requirements.

Genuine VIKING spare parts can be recognised by the VIKING spare parts number, by the VIKING lettering and, if present, by the VIKING spare parts symbol. On smaller parts, only the symbol may be present.

Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws are securely tightened, so that the machine is in a safe operating condition.

Check the grass-catching unit regularly for wear, damage or for loss of functionality.

If the cutting tool or the lawn mower hits an obstacle or a foreign object, the motor must be switched off, the safety plug disconnected, and an inspection performed by a specialist.

In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the area around the air vents between the motor cover and housing free from e.g. grass, straw, moss, leaves or emerging grease.

Components or guards that are removed for maintenance operations must be properly reinstalled immediately.

Carefully clean the lawn mower following use.

Never use high-pressure cleaners and do not clean the lawn mower under running water (e.g. using a garden hose). Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. These cleaners can damage plastics and metals, impairing the safe operation of your VIKING machine.

Check the entire machine for wear or damage on a regular basis, particularly before extended periods when the machine is not in use (over winter). Replace worn or damaged parts to ensure that the machine is always in a safe operating condition.

Store the cooled lawn mower, battery and safety plug safely in a dry, well-ventilated and locked place that is inaccessible to children.

4.8 Disposal

Ensure that old machines are properly disposed of. Render the machine unusable prior to disposal. In order to prevent accidents, ensure that you remove the safety plug and the electric cable from the motor.

Risk of injury due to the mowing blade! Always store an old lawn mower in a safe place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the machine and the mowing blade are kept out of the reach of children.

Batteries must be disposed of separately from the lawn mower. Ensure that batteries are discharged prior to disposal (e.g. by running the motor) and that they are disposed of safely and in an environmentally-friendly manner.

8.1 General

The MA 339 and MA 339 C lawn mowers are operated with rechargeable batteries.

Only high-quality STIHL lithium-ion batteries of type "AP" are used.

The batteries (supplied in some cases) are optimally adapted to the intended purpose, however, all STIHL lithium-ion batteries available from specialist dealers (AP 80, AP 115, AP 120, AP 160 etc.) may also be used.

The lawn mower electronics exchange data with the installed battery and adapt the power of the electric motor to the relevant capacity.

8.2 Connecting charger to the mains

- Insert mains plug (1) in socket (2).

- After connection of the charger to the power supply, a self-test is performed. During this process, the LED (3) on the charger illuminates green for approx. 1 second, then red, and then extinguishes again ( 8.6).

8.3 Removing/installing battery

- Open battery compartment and disconnect safety plug (⇔ 9.1).

Removing battery:

• Pull out battery (1) upwards.

Installing battery:

- Insert battery (1) into battery compartment as shown applying slight pressure and close cover.

• When battery is fully charged, LEDs on battery and charger extinguish. Remove battery from charger and insert in battery compartment ( 8.3).

Charging procedure

The charger automatically detects the battery type and adapts the charging process accordingly.

The batteries are cooled during the charging process – via a fan on the quick charger (AL 300, AL 500) and with the natural air current in the room on the standard charger (AL 100).

The LEDs on the battery indicate the charging status ( 8.5).

When the battery is fully charged, the charger switches off automatically and the LEDs in the battery and charger extinguish.

The charging time depends on various influencing factors such as e.g. the battery condition and ambient temperature and can therefore deviate from the specified charging times ( 19.).

If a warm battery is inserted in the charger, the charging time may increase because the battery must cool down before the charging process begins.

10. Notes on working with the machine

10.1 General

To ensure a perfect, thick lawn, mow regularly and keep the grass short.

Do not cut the lawn too short in hot, dry conditions as it will dry out or burn in the sun and become unsightly.

The cutting pattern will be better with a sharp blade than with a blunt one; the blade should therefore be sharpened regularly (VIKING specialist dealer).

Cutting performance

The cutting performance (battery running time) depends on the properties of the grass and the selected cutting height. The cutting performance is enhanced by the following measures:

• Mow the lawn more frequently
• Increase the cutting height
• Reduce speed of propulsion
• Allow the lawn to dry before mowing.

If required, additional STIHL lithium-ion batteries can be purchased (special accessories).

10.2 Mowing on slopes

For safety reasons, the lawn mower must not be used on inclines of

more than 25°. A slope inclination of 25° (46.6%) corresponds to a vertical height increase of 46.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal distance.

10.3 Correct motor load

Do not switch on the lawn mower in tall grass or at the lowest cutting height.

The lawn mower load must never cause the motor speed to drop significantly.

If the speed drops, select a higher cutting height setting and/or reduce the rate of feed.

10.4 If the mowing blade blocks

Switch off the motor immediately and disconnect the safety plug. Then eliminate the cause of the fault.

10.5 Thermal motor overload protection

If an overload of the motor occurs during operation, the built-in thermal overload protection device automatically switches off the motor.

Causes for an overload:

• mowing excessively high grass or cutting height adjusted too low,
  – excessive rate of feed,
  – inadequate cleaning of the cooling air guide (inlet slots).

Recommencing operation

Resume normal operation of the machine following a cooling period of up to 10 min (depending on the ambient temperature) ( 12.).

11. Safety devices

11.1 Safety plug

The motor can only be switched on when the safety plug is inserted ( 9.1).

11.2 Two-hand operation

The motor can only be switched on by pressing and holding the start button with the right hand and then pulling the motorstop lever to the handlebar with the left hand.

11.3 Motor run-down brake

When the motorstop lever is released, the mowing blade comes to a complete standstill in less than three seconds.

An integrated motor run-down brake shortens the run-down time until the blade stops.

12. Operating the machine

12.1 Preparations

Risk of injury:

Observe the safety instructions in the section "For your safety" ( 4.).

• Charge battery (⇒ 8.4).
• Insert safety plug (⇔ 9.1).

12.2 Switching on lawn mower

Do not start the motor in high grass or when the mower is set to the lowest cutting height, as this makes starting difficult.

• Press and hold down start button (1). Pull motorstop lever (2) to handlebar and hold.
• Start button (1) can be released once motorstop lever (2) is pressed.

12.3 Switching off lawn mower

- Release motorstop lever (1). Motor and mowing blade come to a stop after a short run-down time.

12.4 Level indicator

The grass catcher box features a level indicator (1) on the upper part of the catcher box.

The flow of air that is created by the rotary movement of the mowing blade and is responsible for filling the grass catcher box raises the level indicator (2):

The grass catcher box is filled with clippings.

When the grass catcher box is full, this flow of air is reduced and the level indicator drops (3):

• Empty filled grass catcher box ( 12.5).

12.5 Emptying grass catcher box

- Switch off motor ( 12.3) and detach grass catcher box ( 9.5).

• Open grass catcher box at tab (1) and open upper part of the grass catcher box (2) upwards.
• Hold grass catcher box by handles in upper part of grass catcher box (3) and in lower part of grass catcher box (4) and empty it.

13. Maintenance

13.1 General

Risk of injury!

Observe the safety instructions in the section "For your safety" ( 4.).

Remove the safety plug,

particularly before

performing any work on the lawn mower ( 9.1).

Annual service by the specialist dealer:

The lawn mower should be inspected once annually by a specialist dealer. VIKING recommends VIKING specialist dealers.

13.2 Cleaning the machine

Maintenance interval:

After each use

• Remove battery ( 8.3).
• Detach grass catcher box ( 9.5).

Risk of injury:

Before tipping up the mower, place it on firm, level and flat ground. The machine may tip over when working on it in the cleaning position. Always stand to the side of the machine. Never work in front of or behind the mower.

Cleaning position, MA 339 C:

• Fold down mono handlebar ( 9.3).
• Lift discharge flap (1), tilt mower upwards and set down on handlebar console (2).

- Leave handlebar (3) resting on the ground and fasten in this position with quick-clamping device (4).

Cleaning position, MA 339:

• Fold down the dual handlebar ( 9.4).
• Tilt lawn mower upwards and set down on lower handlebars (5).

Notes on cleaning:

Clean the machine thoroughly each time it has been used. Care of the machine will protect it against damage and extend its service life.

Remove dirt from the cooling air guide (inlet slots) between the motor cover and the lower housing to ensure that the motor is adequately cooled.

Clean the mowing blade.

Clean the underside of the mower with water and a brush. Detach accumulated cutting deposits in the housing and in the ejection chute beforehand using a stick.

Never spray water on motor components, seals, bearing points or electrical components such as batteries or switches. This would result in expensive repairs.

If you are unable to remove the dirt with water using a brush or a cloth, VIKING recommends the use of a special cleaner (e.g. STIHL special cleaner).

13.3 Electric motor and wheels

The electric motor is maintenance-free.

The wheel bearings are maintenance-free.

13.4 Battery

Maintenance interval:

Before each use

Visually check that the battery is undamaged. Batteries with identifiable damage (e.g. cracks or escaping fluid), must not be used.

13.5 Charger

Maintenance interval:

Before each use

Check electric cable for damage and ensure that cooling air slots are free of dirt.

13.6 Mowing blade maintenance

Maintenance interval:

Before each use

• Tilt mower upwards into cleaning position ( 13.2).
• Clean mowing blade (1) and check it for damage (notches or cracks) and wear; replace if necessary.
• Use a slide calliper (2) to measure blade thickness at 5 points at least. In particular, minimum thickness must also be ensured in the area of the blade wings.
• Place a ruler (3) against the front blade edge and measure permissible grinding.

Wear limits:

The blade thickness must be at least 1.6 mm at any point.

The cutting edges may not be ground back by more than 5 m m during sharpening.

If the supplied standard blade is not installed in the lawn mower, but e.g. the mulching blade, which is available as a special accessory, different wear limits apply (see instruction manual Kit 339).

Risk of injury:

A worn or damaged blade may break off and cause serious injuries. The instructions for blade maintenance must therefore always be observed.

In particular, the lawn mower must not be operated if parts of the cutting unit (comprising the mowing blade, blade fastening screw and blade mounting) are damaged or worn.

Blades are subjected to differing degrees of wear depending on the location and duration of use. If you use the mower on sandy ground or use it frequently under dry conditions, the blade will be subjected to greater loads and will wear more quickly than the average.

Always replace the blade fastening screw (4) when replacing the mowing blade.

13.7 Removing and installing mowing blade

In order to prevent damage to the blade fastening screw, use a suitable hexagon socket (22 mm) for loosening and tightening.

1 Removing:

- Use a suitable wooden block (1) to counterhold mowing blade (2).

- Unscrew blade fastening screw (3) and remove mowing blade (2).

2 Installing:

Risk of injury:

The mowing blade (2) must only be installed as shown. The tabs (6) must face downwards and the curved wings must point upwards.

Observe the specified torque of 10 - 15 Nm when tightening the blade fastening screws, as the secure attachment of the cutting tool depends on this. Additionally secure the blade fastening screw (3) with Loctite 243.

• Clean blade contact surface and blade bushing.
• Install mowing blade (2) with curved wings pointing upwards. Locating lugs (4) must be located in bores (5) of mowing blade.
• Use a suitable wooden block (1) to counterhold mowing blade (2).
• Tighten blade fastening screw (3) to a torque of 10 - 15 Nm.

13.8 Sharpening mowing blade

Risk of injury:

Check blade for damage before installing. The blade must be replaced if notches or cracks are identified, if the blade is worn back by 5 mm, or if the blade is thinner than 1.6 mm at any point ( 13.6).

VIKING recommends having the mowing blade sharpened by a technician. Operation of the machine is impaired in the case of an incorrectly sharpened blade (incorrect sharpening angle, imbalance etc.).

Sharpening instructions:

• Remove mowing blade (⇒ 13.7).
• Cool the mowing blade when sharpening, e.g. with water. The blade must not be allowed to display blue colouring, as this would reduce its cutting quality.
• Sharpen the blade evenly to prevent vibrations due to imbalance.
• Observe sharpening angle of 30^ .
• After sharpening, remove any sharpening burr at the cutting edge using fine sandpaper if necessary.

13.9 Storage (winter break)

Storing the lawn mower:

Remove the safety plug and remove the battery.

Keep the safety plug separately from the lawn mower and out of reach of unauthorised persons, particularly children.

Store the lawn mower in a dry locked place that is generally free of dust. Ensure that it is protected from unauthorised use (e.g. by children).

Only store the lawn mower in good operating condition, fold down the handlebar if necessary.

Keep all nuts, pins and screws tightly fastened, replace danger signs and warnings on the machine that have become illegible, check the entire machine for wear and damage. Replace all worn or damaged parts.

Any machine faults must be completely remedied prior to storage.

Note the following points when storing the lawn mower for long periods (winter break):

• Clean all external parts of the machine with care.
• Thoroughly lubricate/grease all moving parts.

Storing batteries:

Remove the battery from the battery compartment or from the charger and store in a dry locked place that is generally free of dust. Ensure that the batteries are protected from unauthorised use (e.g. by children).

Do not store spare batteries unused – use batteries alternately.

For optimum battery service life, store at +10°C to +20°C and at a charge level of approx. 30%.

Storing the charger:

Remove the battery and disconnect the mains plug.

Store the charger in a dry and locked place that is generally free of dust. Ensure that it is protected from unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
