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. 3).
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.
