Cleaning The Machine And The Motor; Nuts And Bolts - Stiga AB 500 Li 48 Manual De Instrucciones

• operator behaviour that should be avoided:
– switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
– a rotor speed not suited to the type of
material to be removed (paragraph 6.4.1).
To optimise battery power reserve
it is always recommended to:
• set a rotor speed suited to the type
of material to be removed.
If the need arises to use the machine for
sessions which exceed the capability of
a standard battery, it is possible to:
• purchase a second standard battery
to immediately replace the discharged
battery, without compromising
the continuity of operations;
• purchase a battery with an extended
power reserve compared to the
standard version (par. 14.1).
7.2.2 Battery removal and recharging
1. Press the locking button located in
the battery housing (Fig. 6.A) and
remove the battery (Fig. 6.B);
2. fit the battery (Fig. 7.A) in the battery
charger housing (Fig. 7.B);
3. connect the battery charger (Fig. 7.B)
to a power socket with the voltage
indicated on the rating plate;
4. fully charge the battery according

battery charger booklet.
NOTE The battery is equipped with a guard
that inhibits recharging if the environmental
temperature is not between 0 and +45 °C.
NOTE The battery can be recharged at any
time, even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
7.2.3 Refitting the battery on the machine
When recharging is completed:
1. Remove the battery (Fig. 8.A) from the

To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine and,
in particular, the motor free of leaves, branches.
• Always clean the machine after use with a
damp cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
• Remove all traces of humidity using
a soft damp cloth. Humidity can
generate risks of electric shocks.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents
to clean the plastic parts or hand grips.
• Do not spray water onto the motor
and electrical components and
prevent them from getting wet.
• Always keep the rotor clean and
free of dust and debris, by blowing
compressed air through the grille.
Do not spray water on the rotor.
• To avoid overheating and damage to the
motor or the battery, always keep the
cooling air vents clean and free of debris.

the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the
handles are fixed firmly.
