6.2.2 Rear axle
This is a sealed single unit that does not require maintenance. It is
permanently lubricated and its lubricant does not need changing or
topping up.
6.2.3 Battery
To ensure long life to the battery it is es-
sential to keep it properly maintained. The
machine battery must always be charged:
– before using the machine for the first time
after purchase( 3.1);
– before leaving the machine idle for a long
period;
– before starting up the machine after
a prolonged period of inactivity.
The machine comes with a connector
(1) for recharging; this is connected
to the corresponding connector for
the special maintenance battery-
charger supplied.
IMPORTANT
No device other
than a battery charger should be connected to this connector.
When inactive, the charge level can be kept constant by using the
supplied maintenance battery charger.
IMPORTANT
The charge must be maintained with the battery
charger following the guidelines in the relevant operating instruc-
tions. Other recharging systems can irreversibly damage the bat-
tery.
A drained battery should be recharged as soon as possible, other-
wise the battery elements may be irreparably damaged.
Periodically check the electrolyte level; for topping up, use ONLY
distilled battery water.

removal from the machine.

moving the cutting-means assembly.
