Please observe the supplementary sheet
or the instruction manual for the STIHL
charger and keep it in a safe place.
Only use original STIHL chargers.
Do not use the charger if damaged.
Only use the charger to charge AP type
STIHL batteries of the appropriate
geometry with a maximum capacity of
10 Ah and a maximum voltage of 42 V.
Never charge defective or deformed
batteries.
The mains voltage and mains frequency
must correspond to the information on the
identification plate on the bottom of the
charger and the information contained in
the instruction manual for the charger.
Do not open the charger.
Disconnect the mains plug after use and
make sure that the charger is kept out of
the reach of children.
4.5 Transporting the machine
Always wear gloves in order to prevent
injuries due to sharp-edged and hot
components.
Switch off the machine prior to
transport, allow the blade to
come to a standstill and remove the safety
plug.
Only transport the machine once the motor
has cooled down.
Take the weight of the machine into
account and use suitable loading aids
(loading ramps, lifters) if necessary.

Secure the machine and any machine
components being transported (e.g. grass
catcher box) on the load floor using
fastening material of adequate size (belts,
ropes, etc.).
Avoid contact with the mowing blade when
lifting and carrying the machine.
Observe the information in the section
"Transport". It describes how to lift and
lash the machine. ( 14.)
When transporting the machine, always
observe regional legislation, especially
regarding load security and the transport
of objects on load floors.
Do not leave the battery inside a vehicle
and never expose it to direct sunlight.
Lithium-ion batteries must be treated with
special care during transport. In particular,
it must be ensured that short circuits are
prevented during transport of the batteries.
For this reason, keep the original
cardboard packaging of the battery and
always transport STIHL batteries either in
the undamaged original packaging or in
the lawn mower.
4.6 Before operation
Make sure that only persons who are
familiar with the instruction manual are
permitted to use the machine.
Observe the local regulations regarding
permitted operating times for gardening
power tools with combustion engines or
electric motors.
Carefully inspect the complete area on
which the machine is to be used and
remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones
and other foreign objects which could be
thrown up by the machine. Obstacles (e.g.
tree stumps, roots) can be easily
overlooked in long grass.
For this reason, mark all foreign objects
(obstacles) which are hidden in the lawn
and cannot be removed before
commencing work with the machine.
All faulty, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced before using the machine.
Replace any illegible or damaged danger
signs and warnings on the machine. Your
VIKING specialist has a supply of
replacement stickers and all the other
spare parts.
The machine must only be used in good
operating condition. Before each use,
check whether:
– The machine is properly assembled.
– The cutting tool and the entire cutting
unit (mowing blade, fastening
attachments, mowing deck housing)
are in good condition. In particular
check for secure fastening, damage
(notches or cracks) and wear.
– The safety devices (e.g. discharge flap,
housing, handlebar, motorstop lever)
are in good condition and working
properly.
– The grass catcher box is undamaged
and correctly installed; a damaged
grass catcher box must not be used.
– The run-down brake of the electric
motor is functioning.
Carry out any necessary work or consult a
specialist dealer. VIKING recommends
VIKING specialist dealers.
Never switch the motor on without a
correctly installed blade. Risk of motor
overheating.
