7. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

7.1

GENERAL INFORMATION

IMPORTANT The safety regulations
to follow are described in chap. 2. Strictly
comply with these instructions to avoid
serious risks or dangers.
Before performing any
inspections, cleaning or maintenance/
adjustments on the machine:
• Stop the machine (para. 6.5);
• Remove the battery and recharge
(para. 7.2.2) (never leave the battery
inserted or within the reach of
children or unauthorised persons);
• Make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop;
• Allow the engine to cool before
storing in an enclosed space.
• Wear suitable clothing, protective
gloves and goggles;
• Read the relevant instructions.
IMPORTANT Any maintenance and
adjustment operations not described in
this manual must be carried out by your
dealer or Authorised Service Dealer.

7.2 BATTERY

7.2.1 Battery power reserve
Battery power reserve (and therefore the area
before recharging is required) mainly depends
on how the operator works. who should avoid:
– switching the machine on and off
frequently whilst working;
– a rotor speed not suited to the type of
material to be removed (para. 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 (para. 13.1).
7.2.2 Battery removal and
recharging (Fig.10÷14)
NOTE The battery is equipped with a guard
that inhibits recharging if the environmental
temperature is not between 0 and +45°C.
IMPORTANT The battery can be
charged at any time, even partially,
with no risk of damaging it.

7.3 CLEANING THE MACHINE

To reduce the risk of fire, keep the
machine free of leaves and twigs.
• 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.
7.4

NUTS AND BOLTS

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure
the equipment is in a safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the
handles are fixed firmly.

8. STORAGE

IMPORTANT The safety regulations to
follow for putting into storage are described
in paragraph 2.4. Strictly comply with these
instructions to avoid serious risks or hazards.

8.1 STORING

When the machine is to be stored away:
1. Remove the battery from its housing
and recharge (para. 7.2.2).
