Always keep the mower battery away from wa- ter, sources of heat (ovens, radiators, open fires, etc.) and hazardous chemicals.

Always use the accompanying genuine Stiga charger. Never use the charger for any other product.

Never use the charger if it is damaged in any way. A damaged lead or charger should immediately be replaced at an authorised service workshop

Take care of the leads. Never carry the charger by the lead. When charging is complete pull out the plug not the lead. If an extension cable is used, use a robust sort suitable for outdoor use, even if the battery is never charged outdoors.

The charger always feels warm to touch, during the first hours of charging.

CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

The battery must always be charged directly after finishing mowing and as soon as it has cooled down (after about 30 minutes).

1.Charge the battery outside of the mower in a dry and cool place.

2.First connect the round plug from the charger to the battery (fig. 4).

3.Then connect the charger to a wall socket (~220/230V).

4.Charge for 1 - 2 days, depending on how long the machine has been used. Whilst the battery is charging, the red charging lamp on the bat- tery is continuously lit, for as long as the bat- tery charger is connected

5.Finish charging by firstly pulling out the plug from the wall socket.

If the charger is first removed from the battery, the plug leads can short- circuit if they come into contact with conductive material.

CHARGING BEFORE WINTER STORAGE

The battery should always be stored ful- ly charged.

1.Take the battery out of the mower.

2.Carefully wipe off the battery.

3.Store the battery outside of the mower in a dry and cool place.

USING THE MOWER

STARTING/STOPPING THE MOWER

Keep hands and feet well away from the rotating blade(s). Never put your hand or foot under the blade casing or in the grass ejector unit while the motor is running.

1.Fix the battery in place in the mower (fig. 6).

2.Insert the safety key into the control panel (fig. 7). When the safety key is in place, the green lamp will be lit. If it is not, check that the engine protection on the safety key is pressed in (fig. 8) and that the battery is fully charged.

3.Press down the handle to lift the front wheels off the grass, thereby reducing grass resistance in the starting moment.

4.Press in the power on/off button 1 (fig. 9). Start the engine by pressing in the safety handle 2. To stop, release the safety handle.

After finishing mowing:

1.Remove the safety key and keep it out of reach of children.

2.Clean the mower (see the “Maintenance” sec- tion under the heading “Cleaning”).

3.Recharge the battery once it has cooled down (after about 30 minutes).

If the safety handle has stopped work- ing, remove the safety key and take the mower to an authorised service work- shop to be repaired.

CONTROL PANEL (fig. 5)

The control panel has the following functions:

1.It includes the socket for the safety key. The safe- ty key also has an in-built engine protection. If the engine protection has been activated, remove the safety key and reset the engine protection (fig.8).

2.It includes three lamps which indicate the bat- tery’s charge level:

AGreen = the battery is charged to between 30% and 100% of full capacity.
