1 GENERAL ELECTRICAL MACHINE SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

■ Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "machine" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) machine or battery-operated (cordless) machine.

1.1 Work area safety

  • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
  • Do not operate machines in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a machine. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

1.2 Electrical safety

■ Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) machines. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

  • Do not expose machines to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
  • When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
    If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

1.3 Personal safety

■ Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating machines may result in serious personal injury.
■ Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
■ Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the machine. Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or energising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
■ Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the machine in unexpected situations.
■ Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
- Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of machines allow you to become complacent and ignore machine safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

1.4 Electrical machine use and care

  • Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. The correct machine will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
  • Do not use the machine if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any machine that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
    ■ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the machine before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing machines. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the machine accidentally.
    ■ Store idle machines out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the machine or these instructions to operate the machine. Machines are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
  • Maintain machines and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the machine's operation. If damaged, have the machine repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained machines.
  • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
    Use the machine, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the machine for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
  • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slip-

pery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the machine in unexpected situations.

1.5 Battery machine use and care

■ Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
■ Use machines only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
■ Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
■ Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or machine outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

1.6 Service

■ Have your machine serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the machine is maintained.
■ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Designated use

The ride-on mower is intended for mowing in domestic gardens and allotments with a max. slope of 12^ (21 %). Additional applications, such as for mulching, are only permitted if the original accessories are used and in compliance with the maximum load values.

This trailer is intended solely for use in non-commercial applications. Any other use (as well as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are regarded as contrary to the intended use and will result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or injury suffered by the user or third parties.

3.2 Possible foreseeable misuse

The ride-on mower is not designed for commercial use in public parks, sports grounds, agriculture and forestry.

SOLO R 85.1 Li - Possible foreseeable misuse - 1

WARNING! Dangers due to overloading

the ride-on mower! Make sure that the permissible inclines/declines are not exceeded. Exceeding these values may exceed the braking capacity of the ride-on mower and lead to dangerous situations!

SOLO R 85.1 Li - WARNING! Dangers due to overloading - 1

NOTE Bear in mind that the ride-on mower is not have approval for road use, and thus is allowed to be driven on public roads!

3.3 Residual risks

Even during correct use of the appliance, there is always a certain residual risk that cannot be excluded. Depending on the use, the following potential risks can be derived from the type and construction of the appliance:

  • Throwing out of cuttings, soil and small stones.
    ■ Inhalation of cuttings particles if no breathing protection is worn.
    ■ Lacerations from reaching into the rotating cutting blade.

3.4 Safety and protective devices

WARNING! Danger if protective devices are removed or manipulated! Do not operate with any protective devices removed or manipulated. Defective protective devices must be repaired or renewed immediately!

The safety and protective devices mentioned here are components of the safety concept to prevent risks to the user. Due to this safety concept, the ride-on mower can only be switched on by turning the safety key under the following conditions:

■ The drive motor is off.
■ The mower mechanism is switched off.
■ The user is sitting in the operator's seat.
■ The driving mode switch is set to N (Neutral).

Key-operated rotary switch

The ride-on mower can only be switched on when the safety key is inserted into the key-operated rotary switch and turned to green (ON position) (see chapter 3.8 "Controls (02 – 12)", page 37).

Mower mechanism contact switch

The mower mechanism contact switch ensures that the ride-on mower can only be switched on when the mower mechanism is switched off (see chapter 5.6.1 "Checking the mower mechanism contact switch", page 42).

Seat contact switch

The seat contact switch ensures that the ride-on mower cannot be switched on and that the engines for the travel drive and mower mechanism are switched off as soon as there is no-one in the operator's seat (see chapter 5.6.2 "Checking the seat contact switch", page 42).

This safety concept is extended for the mower mechanism engines by the behaviour described in the following "Grass catcher contact switch" section.

Grass catcher contact switch

The contact switch of the grass catcher ensures that:

The mower mechanism engines cannot be switched on if the grass catcher is not correctly attached.
The mower mechanism engines switch off as soon as the grass catcher is not correctly hooked in when the mower mechanism is switched on.

Checking the contact switch: see chapter 5.6.3 "Checking the grass catcher contact switch", page 42.

Mower deck housing

The mower deck housing prevents contact with the cutting blades and objects such as stones being thrown out (see chapter 5.6.4 "Carrying out a visual inspection of the mower deck", page 42).

7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND WORKING TECHNIQUE

7.1 Mowing interval

Please take into account that grass grows differently at different times. We recommend using a shorter interval between mowing during early spring. You can increase the mowing intervals as the growth rate of the grass begins to decline during the course of the year.

7.2 Mowing high grass

Mow with a higher cutting height adjustment when the grass is longer than normal or when it is wet. Then re-mow the grass with a lower, normal setting.

7.3 Mulching

For optimum mulching results, the grass should be mowed on a regular basis (approx. 1 or 2 times per week). Cut 1/3 of the grass height (e.g. if grass height is 6 cm, mow 2 cm). This will ensure that the mown grass will be properly intermixed in the remaining grass.

8 MAINTENANCE AND CARE

WARNING! Danger of cuts and lacerations. Danger of cuts and lacerations when reaching into sharp-edged, moving appliance parts and into cutting tools.

■ Before maintenance, care and cleaning work, always switch off the appliance. Remove the safety key.
■ Always wear protective gloves during maintenance, care and cleaning work.

8.1 Maintenance schedule

The following jobs are allowed to be carried out by the user independently. All other maintenance, service and repair work must be carried out in an authorised service workshop.

NOTE It may be necessary to shorten the maintenance intervals compared to those stated in the table above in case of severe loading and at high temperatures.

Check for loose parts. X
Clean the ride-on mower. X X

8.2 Cleaning the ride-on mower

The ride-on mower must be cleaned regularly to ensure optimum function and a long service life. Clean the ride-on mower after each use to remove any adhering soiling and detritus.

IMPORTANT! Damage due to penetrating water! Water in electrical and electronic components leads to short circuits and damage. Water in mechanical components can lead to loss of lubrication and damage.

  • Do not allow water to penetrate the electrics/electronics during cleaning.
    In particular, do not use a high-pressure cleaner or garden hose.

8.2.1 Removing and emptying the grass catcher

Empty the grass catcher before cleaning (see chapter 6.9 "Emptying the grass catcher", page 43). A full grass catcher is too heavy to be removed safely.

  1. Remove the grass catcher.
  2. Spray the grass catcher inside and out with a water hose.
  3. Carefully scrape off any firmly adhering dirt, e.g. with a brush.
    Note: Take particular care not to damage the fabric on grass catchers with a fabric covering.
  4. Hook in the grass catcher again.

8.2.2 Cleaning the housing and operating elements

Use a cloth, hand brush, long-stemmed brush or similar to remove dirt and grass residues.

8.2.3 Cleaning the discharge channel

Regular cleaning of the discharge channel ensures that the cutting height can be easily adjusted.

8.2.4 Cleaning the mower deck

Preparation

  1. Switch off the ride-on mower and remove the safety key.

  2. Remove the grass catcher.

  3. With two persons, place the ride-on mower on the rear and secure against falling over.

Clean

  1. Put on protective gloves and do not reach into the cutting blades during cleaning.
  2. Clean the mower deck with a hand brush, a brush or a wooden stick.

8.3 Maintaining the cutting blades

Make sure that the cutting blade remains sharp for the entire mowing season to avoid shredding or tearing the blades of grass. Shredded grass blades turn brown on the edges. This reduces their growth and leaves the lawn prone to diseases.

  • Check the cutting blade for sharpness and signs of wear or damage after each use. If necessary, contact the manufacturer's service centre.
  • When replacing the blades, only use original replacement blades (for a list of original replacement blades: see technical data). The use of non-original spare parts will void the warranty and may result in damage to the ride-on mower as well as serious injury.

9 HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION

CAUTION! Risk of injury. Sharp-edged and moving appliance parts can lead to injury.

■ Always wear protective gloves during maintenance, care and cleaning work!

Used batteries and rechargeable batteries do not belong in household waste, but should be collected and disposed of separately.

For safe removal of batteries or rechargeable batteries from the electrical appliance and for information on their type or chemical system, follow the further information within the operating or installation instructions.
- Owners or users of batteries and rechargeable batteries are obliged by law to return them after use. Return is limited to the handover of customary household quantities.

Used batteries can contain harmful substances or heavy metals that can cause damage to the environment and human health. Reuse of the used batteries and use of the resources contained therein contributes to the protection of these two essential commodities.

The symbol of the crossed-through rubbish bin means that batteries and rechargeable batteries may not be disposed of in household rubbish.

In addition, if the symbol Hg, Cd or Pb appears under the rubbish bin, this stands for the following:

■ Hg: Battery contains more than 0.0005 % mercury
Cd: Battery contains more than 0.002 % cadmium

■ Pb: Battery contains more than 0.004 % lead Rechargeable batteries and batteries can be handed in at the following places at no charge:
■ Public service disposal or collection points (e.g. municipal building yards)
■ Points of sale of batteries and rechargeable batteries
■ Disposal points of the common take-back system for the used batteries of appliances
■ Disposal point of the manufacturer (if not a member of the common take-back system)

These statements apply only to rechargeable batteries and batteries that are sold in the countries of the European Union and that are subject to European Directive 2006/66/EU. Different provisions can apply to the disposal of rechargeable batteries and batteries in countries outside the European Union.
