6.2.3 Battery (Fig. 6.2)
To ensure long life to the battery it is essential to
keep it carefully maintained.
The machine battery must always be charged:
– before using the machine for the first time
after purchase;
– before leaving the machine disused for a long
period;
– before starting up the machine after a pro-
longed period of inactivity.
Carefully read and observe the battery recharg-
ing instructions in the booklet provided with the
battery. Failure in following the procedure or in
charging the battery could permanently damage
the battery elements.
A flat battery must be recharged as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT Recharging must be done us-
ing a battery charger at constant voltage. Other
recharging systems can irreversibly damage the
battery.
The machine comes with a connector (1) for re-
charging; this is connected to the corresponding

– follow the indications given in the relative in-
structions manual;

6.3 INTERVENTIONS ON THE MACHINE
6.3.1 Aligning the cutting-means
assembly (Fig. 6.3)
The cutting-means assembly should be prop-
erly adjusted to obtain an evenly mown lawn.
If mowing is uneven, check the tyre pressure.
If this is not sufficient to achieve an even cut,
please contact your Dealer to adjust the align-
ment of the cutting-means assembly.
6.3.2 Replacing the wheels (Fig. 6.4)
Stop the machine on flat ground and put a block
under a load-bearing part of the frame on the
side that the wheel is to be changed.
The wheels are held by a snap ring (1) which
can be removed with a screwdriver.
NOTE If you have to replace one or both rear
wheels, make sure that any differences in their
external diameter does not exceed 8-10 mm; on
the contrary, you must adjust the cutting-means
assembly alignment to prevent uneven mowing.
IMPORTANT Before remounting the wheel,
apply grease to the axle. Put the snap ring (1)
and shoulder washer (2) back in place.
