10. When replacing the battery, be sure to insert the battery plug

correctly. Reversing the battery polarity may cause damage to the battery and mower. H. Slope Operation

1. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel the mower cannot

maintain traction on the slope, it is too steep to mow. Wet grass will decrease traction and may cause the mower to slip and slide on the slope. Serious injury or property damage could result.

2. 2. For your safety, measure any slope before using the mower on

the sloped area. Use a slope measuring device before setting up the mowing zones or operating the mower on a sloped or hilly area. Smart phone applications can also be utilised to measure slopes. If the slope at the perimeter is greater than 17 degrees (30%), BCRMW121, BCRMW122, BCRMW123 models may slide out of the mowing zone.

3. Do not mow on slopes greater than 17 degrees (30%).

4. Do not operate the mower under any conditions where traction

or stability is in question. Always be sure of the mowing surface. A tip or overturn could cause serious personal injury or property damage.

5. Stay at least 4 feet (1.2 meter) from drop-offs, ditches,

embankments or the edge of water to help ensure the mower does not get out of the mowing zone. You could damage the mower or cause a serious injury. EN10

I. Maintenance and Special

1. Keep the mower in good working order. Replace worn, damaged or

broken parts. Manufacturer part numbers of the batteries, blades and power supplies are specified in the ‘Additional Information’ booklet.

2. To avoid serious injury do not modify the mower in any way.

3. Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade or wear gloves and use

extra caution when changing the blade.

4. Always switch off the mower by removing the disabling device

before servicing or clearing blockage of the mowing blade(s) and/or driving wheels or inspecting. Never attempt to service or adjust the mower while it is in operation. Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving parts have stopped.

5. The blade should come to a complete stop within two (2) seconds

after pressing the red stop control. If you do not hear the blade stop in less than two (2) seconds, your mower must be serviced professionally by an authorized service dealer.

6. Never use a high pressure power washer or hose to clean the

mower. Water can damage components and the programmable controller. Use a damp cloth to wipe the display clean.

7. Visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent,

cracked). Replace the blade with the original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) blade only. Non-O.E.M. blades will not fit properly and could potentially be unsafe.

8. Use of service parts which do not meet the original equipment

specifications may lead to improper performance and compromise safety.

9. After striking a foreign object, or getting hung up, stop the mower.

Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage. Repair the damage before starting and operating.

10. For areas close to a children’s play area, bodies of water, drop offs

or public roads, supplement the perimeter wire with a rigid (wood/ stone) boundary edge at least 15 cm (6 inches) high which will help prevent the mower from exiting the mowing zone.

11. If your mower is installed and operated in an open yard or in

a public location, you must place warning signs around those mowing areas, showing the substance of the following: “Automatic Lawnmower! Keep away from the machine! Supervise children!”
