Frequently Asked Questions - PRMA 40Li A3 PARKSIDE

What to do if the mower does not start?

First check the battery charge status. If they are discharged, recharge them with a Parkside X 20 V Team charger. Make sure the batteries are correctly inserted and the safety key is engaged. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to adjust the cutting height?

Grip the transport handle, slightly lift the appliance, then operate the cutting height adjustment lever to the desired notch. Available heights are: 25, 30, 38, 45, 55, 65 and 75 mm. For the first cut of the season, choose a high height.

How to use Auto/Eco mode?

Press the Auto/Eco pushbutton on the handle to switch between modes. In Auto mode, the motor speed adapts to the load. In Eco mode, speed is minimal to maximize battery runtime. The active mode is indicated by a light.

How to change the blade?

Turn off the appliance, remove the safety key and wait for the blade to stop completely. Wear protective gloves. Turn the appliance over, hold the blade and loosen the blade screw (size 14) counterclockwise. Replace with an identical new blade (ref. 13700243) and tighten the screw firmly.

What to do if the motor stops during use?

This may be due to a blockage by a foreign object (branch, stone). Turn off the appliance, remove the safety key, then remove the obstruction. Also check that the cutting height is not too low for tall grass. If the problem persists, inspect the blade and screws.

How to install the mulching kit?

Remove the grass catcher, lift the deflector, then insert the mulching kit until the latch engages. To remove it, press the latch and pull the kit out. Mulching chops the grass and distributes it on the lawn, promoting a nutrient cycle.

How to maintain the mower?

Clean the appliance after each use with a brush or cloth – never with water jets. Remove plant residues stuck to the wheels and blade. Regularly check the tightness of screws and the condition of the blade. Store the appliance in a dry, frost-free place.

Which battery types are compatible?

This appliance works with two batteries from the Parkside X 20 V Team range, models: PAP 20 A1, PAP 20 A2, PAP 20 A3, PAP 20 B1, PAP 20 B3. Use only compatible chargers: PLG 20 A1, PLG 20 A3, PLG 20 A4, PDSLG 20 A1.

Why are cutting results unsatisfactory?

Possible causes: cutting height too low, blade dull or incorrectly mounted, area around the blade obstructed. Adjust the cutting height, have the blade sharpened or replaced, and clean the appliance. Also check that the batteries are sufficiently charged.

How to store the mower in winter?

Remove the batteries and store them separately (storage temperature 0-45°C). Fold the handlebar by loosening the tension levers to reduce storage size. Clean the appliance, let the motor cool down, then keep it in a dry place out of reach of children.

2 LEDs illuminated (red and orange): Battery partially charged

1 LED illuminated (red): Battery needs to be charged

Working with the device

Observe noise protection rules and other local regulations.

Regular mowing stimulates the grass to an increased leaf formation, while at the same time killing weeds. Therefore, the lawn becomes denser after each mowing process, resulting in an evenly loadable lawn. The first cut takes place roughly in April when the grass is about 70 - 80 mm high. During the main growing season, the lawn is mowed at least once a week.

• Move the device at walking speed and in lines which should be as straight as possible. For a flawless mowing result, the lines should always overlap by a few centimetres.
• Adjust the cutting height so that the device is not overloaded. If this not done, the motor may become damaged.
• Always move across slopes crosswise. Take special care when going backwards and pulling the device.
• Clean the device after each use, as described in the section "Cleaning/storage".

After switching off the equipment, the blade continues to turn for several seconds. Do not touch the moving blade. There is a risk of injury.

Difference between moving and mulching lawns

When using the mulch kit (18), the grass clippings are not captured in a collection box but are instead shredded and spread across the lawn. The nutrients contained in the clippings are thus left to be broken down by soil organisms and form a nutrient cycle. Mulched lawns therefore need to be fertilised much less frequently.

As a basic rule, the lawn has to be mowed relatively often so that only small amounts of mulch remain on the lawn. It is therefore best to mulch the lawn at least once a week and to adjust the mower so that only about 40% of the total height of the lawn is left as mulch. If the mulch remains visible on the lawn (for example when cutting the lawn for the first time of the year or during strong growth), the grass collection box (13) should be used.

Cleaning/maintenance

Have any work that is not described in these operating instructions performed by an authorised customer service centre. Only use original parts.

Wear gloves when handling the blade.

Switch off the apparatus, remove the ignition key (A 10) and wait for the blades to come to a standstill.

General cleaning and maintenance work

Never spray down the device with water. There is a risk of electric shock.

• Always keep the device clean. Use a brush or cloth for cleaning, but do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.

GB IE

• After mowing, remove any plant remains that have become stuck to the wheels, ventilation opening, ejector opening and blade area using a piece of wood or plastic. Do not use any hard or sharp objects as these could damage the device.
• Check the device before each use for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are firmly in place.
• Check the covers and protective devices for damage and correct fit. Replace these if necessary.

H Replacing blades

If the blade is blunt, it can be re-sharpened by a specialist company. If the blade is damaged or unbalanced, it must be replaced.

1. Turn the machine over.
2. Use firm gloves and keep hold of the blade (23). Use a spanner (SW14) to turn the blade bolt (24) counter-clockwise from the motor spindle (25).
3. Reassemble the new blade (23) in reverse order. Make sure that the blade (23) is positioned correctly (see illustration H) and that the blade bolt (24) is tightened.

K Storage

Release the tightening levers (2+5) and fold the upper bar (1) and the lower bar (3) together so that the device takes up less space. Make sure not to pinch the machine cables while doing this.

- Store the device in a dry place out of reach of children.

• Give the motor time to cool off before you store the device in an enclosed space.
• Remove the rechargeable battery before storing the device for a long period of time (e.g. winter storage).
• The storage temperature for the rechargeable battery and the device is between 0°C and 45°C. Avoid extreme cold or heat during storage to ensure the battery output is not adversely affected.

We are not liable for damage cause by our devices if this is caused by improper repair, the use of non-original parts or incorrect use.

Disposal/environmental protection

Guarantee

Dear Customer,

This equipment is provided with a 3-year guarantee from the date of purchase.

In case of defects, you have statutory rights against the seller of the product. These statutory rights are not restricted by our guarantee presented below.

Terms of Guarantee

The term of the guarantee begins on the date of purchase. Please retain the original receipt. This document is required as proof of purchase.

If a material or manufacturing defect occurs within three years of the date of purchase of this product, we will repair or replace – at our choice – the product for you free of charge. This guarantee requires the defective equipment and proof of purchase to be presented within the three-year period with a brief written description of what constitutes the defect and when it occurred.

If the defect is covered by our guarantee, you will receive either the repaired product or a new product. No new guarantee period begins on repair or replacement of the product.

Guarantee Period and Statutory Claims for Defects

The guarantee period is not extended by the guarantee service. This also applies for replaced or repaired parts. Any damages and defects already present at the time of purchase must be reported immediately after unpacking. Repairs arising after expiry of the guarantee period are chargeable.

Guarantee Cover

The equipment has been carefully produced in accordance with strict quality guidelines and conscientiously checked prior to delivery.

The guarantee applies for all material and manufacturing defects. This guarantee does not extend to cover product parts that are subject to normal wear and may therefore be considered as wearing parts (e.g. blade, blade bolt) or to cover damage to breakable parts (e.g. switch).

This guarantee shall be invalid if the product has been damaged, used incorrectly or not maintained. Precise adherence to all of the instructions specified in the operating manual is required for proper use of the product. Intended uses and actions against which the operating manual advises or

warns must be categorically avoided. The product is designed only for private and not commercial use. The guarantee will be invalidated in case of misuse or improper handling, use of force, or interventions not undertaken by our authorised service branch.

Processing in Case of Guarantee

To ensure quick handling of you issue, please follow the following directions:

• Please have the receipt and item number (IAN 351761_2007) ready as proof of purchase for all enquiries.
• Please find the item number on the rating plate.
• Should functional errors or other defects occur, please initially contact the service department specified below by telephone or by e-mail. You will then receive further information on the processing of your complaint.

- After consultation with our customer service, a product recorded as defective can be sent postage paid to the service address communicated to you, with the proof of purchase (receipt) and specification of what constitutes the defect and when it occurred. In order to avoid acceptance problems and additional costs, please be sure to use only the address communicated to you. Ensure that the consignment is not sent carriage forward or by bulky goods, express or other special freight. Please send the equipment inc. all accessories supplied at the time of purchase and ensure adequate, safe transport packaging.

Repair Service

For a charge, repairs not covered by the guarantee can be carried out by our service branch, which will be happy to issue a cost estimate for you.

We can handle only equipment that has been sent with adequate packaging and postage.

Attention: Please send your equipment to our service branch in clean condition and with an indication of the defect.

Equipment sent carriage forward or by bulky goods, express or other special freight will not be accepted.
