others are not endangered.

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

VIKING MA 339 C - Mowing procedure - 2

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.

VIKING MA 339 C - Mowing procedure - 3

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.

VIKING MA 339 C - Risk of injury: - 1

text_image max. 25° 100 46,6

VIKING MA 339 C - Risk of injury: - 2

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

VIKING MA 339 C - Risk of injury: - 5

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

VIKING MA 339 C - Maintenance, cleaning, repairs and storage - 1

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.

VIKING MA 339 C - Maintenance, cleaning, repairs and storage - 2

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.

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

VIKING MA 339 C - Mowing on slopes - 1

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
