Question 1

What should I do if the fill sound signal of the AL-KO Pro 700 V2 mower is not working?

Accepted Answer

The fill sound signal of your AL-KO Pro 700 V2 is designed to alert you with a beep when the collection bag needs to be emptied. If this signal is not working, here’s how to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Check the indicator setting

The sound signal is controlled by the fill level indicator (reference 07/1) located on the cutting unit (07/a). This indicator offers 6 adjustable settings depending on your type of cut:

Short position: for dry cutting
Longer positions: for wet or damp cutting

First, check that the setting is not in an extreme position - try an intermediate position to see if the signal reacts.

Clean the indicator lever

The most common cause of malfunction is the accumulation of debris and grass clippings on the fill indicator lever. To resolve this issue:

Stop the engine
Remove the collection bag
Carefully clean around the lever and the indicator mechanism (07/1)
Check that the lever moves freely and clicks properly into all 6 positions
Reinstall the bag and test the signal

If the lever gets stuck or does not click properly after cleaning, a part of the detection mechanism is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Question 2

What should I do if the AL-KO Solo T 23125.6 HD V2 mower stops during operation?

Accepted Answer

If your AL-KO Solo T 23125.6 HD V2 mower stops during operation or refuses to start, here are the checks to perform in order:

Essential Checks

Driver's Seat: The engine stops automatically if you leave the seat with the cutting deck active. This is a safety device. Check that the seat safety switch is functioning properly.
Grass Collector: If the collector is not properly attached or secured, the engine stops. Ensure it is correctly in place and locked.
Fuel: Fill the tank and check the tank purge. Always use fresh gasoline (minimum ROZ 91). Old or poor-quality gasoline can cause stoppages.
Spark Plug and Air Filter: Clean the spark plug or replace it if necessary. A clogged air filter can also cause the engine to stop.
Battery: Check that the starter battery is fully charged. Also, check the fuse on the battery cable.
Brake Pedal: The brake pedal safety switch must be functioning. It prevents starting if the pedal is not pressed.

After each check: turn off the engine, wait a few seconds, then try to start again.

If the engine displays an error code (Err 01 to Err 12), turn off and restart the ignition. If the error persists or the mower continues to stop despite these checks, contact an authorized AL-KO service center.

Question 6

How does the ignition switch (tändningslåset) work on the AL-KO Pro 700 V2 mower and what should I do in case of a problem?

Accepted Answer

The ignition switch (key switch, called tändningslåset in Swedish) is the main electronic and control system of the AL-KO Pro 700 V2 mower. It controls the power supply to the engine and ensures that the mower only starts or operates if all safety conditions are met.

Normal operation of the switch: Insert the key into the lock (reference 01/3, 05 on the diagram). The switch has three main positions: position 0 to completely stop the engine, position II for normal operation, and position III for starting. When starting, turn the key to position III and hold it for about 5 seconds to allow the starter to engage the engine. Once the engine has started, release the key which will automatically return to position II. The key can only be removed in position 0.

Checks in case of starting problems: If the engine does not start, first check that you are sitting correctly on the seat, as the seat safety switch must function: simply lifting the seat cuts off the power to the engine. Also, check that the parking brake (brake pedal) is fully engaged in the low position, as the brake switch also ensures starting safety. Visually inspect the key itself for any wear, cracks, or deformation that would prevent proper insertion into the lock.

Diagnosis of electrical problems: If the starter does not respond at all, check that the starter battery is not weak or discharged: recharge it fully before trying again. Ensure that all cables connected to the ignition lock and battery are tight and free of corrosion. The absence of a spark at the spark plug may also indicate a problem with the ignition system: examine the ignition cable and the spark plug, and clean the latter if it is dirty, or replace it if it is damaged.

Related safety switches: The AL-KO Pro 700 V2 mower has several safety switches interconnected with the ignition switch: the parking brake switch, the cutting deck switch (which cuts off the ignition if you operate the mower without being seated), the seat switch, and the grass collection bin switch. If any of these switches are malfunctioning, the engine cannot start or stops for no reason. Test each safety feature by following the instructions in the manual: press the brake pedal, sit firmly, ensure that the cutting deck is not activated.

Replacing the switch: If after these checks the ignition switch still does not function properly, it may be necessary to replace it with a compatible original part (check the reference on your mower). This operation should be carried out by an authorized AL-KO customer service or a specialized workshop, as it requires electrical knowledge and access to the internal wiring of the mower.
