even partially, with no risk of damaging it.
7.2.3 Refitting the battery in the
battery backpack
When recharging is completed:
1. Remove the battery (Fig. 14.A) from the

7.3 CLEANING THE MACHINE
AND THE ENGINE
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.
7.4
NUTS AND BOLTS
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Regularly check that the
handgrip is firmly fastened.
