GB

Warning!

Always pull out the safety plug before performing any adjusting, repair, maintenance or cleaning work on the equipment.

Assembly (Fig. 3a-3c)

• Fit all the components as shown in Fig. 3a-3c.
- Adjust the brake shoe to the required height.

Charging the battery (Fig. 4a/4b)

The equipment is supplied without batteries and without a charger!

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing the pushlock buttons. (Fig. 4a/Item C)
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Insert the battery pack into the battery charger.
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you will find a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger.

The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal.

If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
- whether there is good contact at the charging contacts

If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

• the charging unit

• and the battery pack

to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased.

When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fl res.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Installing the battery (Fig. 4c-4f)

Open the battery cover. To do so, fl ip up the cover as shown in Fig. 4c. Then insert the two batteries into the mounts as shown in Fig. 4d and push them forward until you hear the batteries engage.

For optimum mowing results and battery power performance it is always best to use batteries with the same capacity.

In battery mount A you can use batteries with a different capacity than that of the batteries in battery mount B (Fig. 4f).

Please note, however, that a particular battery bank should always be fitted with batteries of the same capacity and must always contain 2 batteries (Fig. 4f).

For example, you could use two 4.0 Ah batteries in one battery bank while using two 5.2 Ah batteries in the opposite battery bank.

Note!

Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Always charge the two batteries simultaneously. The equipment's operating time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two batteries must always be fully charged before use. Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and make sure that it latches in place correctly.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4a)

Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4a/Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4a/Item B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

The charge level can also be read from the indicator (Fig. 6 / Item D) on the upper long handle. The indicator does not work in the case of batteries with switching function (e.g. 4-6 Ah).

All 3 LEDs are lit:

The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED fl ashes:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

GB

All LEDs blink:

The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

6. Operation

Caution!

The device is equipped with a safety switch to prevent unauthorized use. Immediately before using the device, insert the safety plug (Fig. 4d/Item 5). Remove the safety plug again when interrupting or terminating your work.

Danger! To prevent accidental start-up of the machine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point switch (Fig. 5/6/Item A) which must be pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 5/6/Item B) can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the machine switches off.

Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that your machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the hoe blades are not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.

The equipment must be moved into operating position before you begin with your work. First pull the locking pin (Fig. 7a/Item A) in the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 7b and swing up the wheel unit until the locking pin engages again in position B. Proceed in reverse order to move the equipment into transport position.

Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is maintained between the machine and the user. Be especially careful when changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always work along the incline (not up and down).

Use special caution when backing up and pulling the machine (tripping hazard).

Tips for proper working

Place the machine in front of the area you wish to hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before you switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades over the area.

To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that you guide the machine in straight lines wherever possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips.

Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at the end of the area you wished to hoe. The motor must be switched off when you raise the machine (for example to change direction).

Keep the underside of the machine clean and remove soil deposits. Deposits make it more difficult to start the machine and decrease the working depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined areas. The machine must be switched off and the mains cable disconnected before you make any checks on the hoe blades.

Warning!

The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is switched off. Never attempt to manually stop them. In the event that the rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the machine and wait for the hoe blades to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that are damaged.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

Always pull out the safety plug before making adjustments or carrying out maintenance, cleaning and repair work on the equipment. Make sure that the blade shaft is not turning.

7.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
  • We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

GB

7.2 Replace the hoe blades

For safety reasons, we recommend having the hoe blades replaced by an authorized professional (see address on warranty certifi cate).

Warning!

Wear working gloves. Use only genuine spare parts since otherwise the function and safety of the machine cannot be guaranteed.

7.3 Maintenance

Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the machine can be safely operated at all times. Store the device in a dry room. All the metal parts should be cleaned and then oil to ensure that they provide a long life. For best results, clean the plastic parts of the machine with a brush or rag. Do not use any solvents to remove dirt. For space saving storage undo the star nuts (Fig. 3b, 3f /Item 8) and fold together the push bars as shown in Fig. 8. Ensure that you do not damage the cable. At the end of the season, perform a general inspection of the machine and remove any deposits which may have accumulated. At the start of each season, ensure that you check the condition of the machine. If repairs are necessary, please contact one of our customer service centers (see address on warranty certifi cate).

7.4 Ordering replacement parts:

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
• Identification number of the machine
• Replacement part number of the part required
