SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
p. Stop the machine and turn off the battery and remove the battery connector. Make sure all moving parts have completely
stopped.
q. Stop the machine and remove the power-off device. Make sure all moving parts have completely stopped
- before leaving the machine,
- before cleaning blockages or unclogging the chute,
- before checking, cleaning or repairing the machine,
- after impact with a foreign object. Inspect the machine to detect any damage and make repairs before restarting and
using it.
If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check it immediately)

- Lift the ejection ap (9) and slide the collecting bin (18)
in the notches located at the rear of the lawn mower.
TOOL PREPARATION
FITTING THE COLLECTING BIN
The lawn mower works like a vacuum cleaner that throws the cut grass into the collecting
bin. Ensure that you always empty the collecting bin before it is full to avoid impairing the
performance. Overloading the bag may damage it. Before attaching the collecting bin to the
lawn mower, always check it for holes, tears or damage.
To be able to easily manoeuvre your lawn mower, chose a comfortable and agreeable working
position to suit your morphology.
Always check that the collecting bin is correctly attached to the lawn mower before you
begin mowing.
- Lock the two adjusting levers (8) to lock the handlebar
in the desired position (six positions are shown on
clamping nut, detail A).
- Adjust the tightness with the knob (detail B).

ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT
PRELIMINARY SETTINGS ON THE TOOL
- Hold the cutting height adjustment handle (13) rmly
whilst simultaneously pressing on the two buttons to
release its position.
- Hold the buttons down and move the handle to one of
the six available positions, from 75 mm for the highest
cutting height to 25 mm for the lowest.
If you do not know which cutting height to use, start with the highest. Look at the results on
a small surface area and change the cutting height if necessary.
TURNING THE BATTERY ON
The cutting height is adjusted using the handle (13) to select one of six different cutting heights, from 75
mm at the highest, to 25 mm at the lowest.
CONTROL UNIT
You can start conguring the settings of the mower after
the battery is powered up.
The following can be set from the control box:
• The forward speed of the mower using the forward
speed selector knob (5).
• The rotational speed of the cutting blades using the
blade cutting speed selector knob (6).
- ULIB 400 / 700 / 800 / 1100 battery: Turn on the
battery by ipping the switch to the 'I’ position.
- ULIB 1500 battery: Turn the battery on by pressing on
the upper or lower pushbutton (battery power supply
icon present).
Congratulations! Your tool is now ready to operate.
You just need to turn on the battery and make a few preliminary settings (if they have not already been
done) and you can start mowing.
When the battery is powered up, the 8 LEDs
on the control box come on, one after the other.

PRELIMINARY SETTINGS ON THE TOOL
FORWARD SPEED OF THE LAWNMOWER
TURNING SPEED OF THE BLADES
- Perform several successive presses on the blade
rotation speed selector knob (6) to go from the
automatic speed to speed 1 (3000 rpm), speed 2
(4000 rpm) and nally to speed 3 (5000 rpm).
The four LEDs in the lower part of the control unit are indicate the blade rotation speed: 1, 2, 3 or 4. The
blade rotation speed can be modied at any time, before or after starting the lawn mower's motor.
Forward speed: Forward acceleration
- Press the speed selector knob several times
successively (5) in order to change from speed 1 (1
km/h) to speed 2 (2.3 km/h), then to speed 3 (3.7
km/h) and nally to speed 4 (5 km/h).
Forward speed: Reverse acceleration
- Pressing on the forward speed selector knob (5) to
switch from speed 1 (1 km/h) to speed 2 (2 km/h).
Beyond that, the reverse speed will remain be 2 km/h
even if 3 or 4 LEDs are on.
The four LEDs in the top of the control panel indicate the forward speed of the mower: 1, 2, 3 or 4. The
travel speed can be changed at any time before or after starting the mower’s engine.
For safety reasons the travel speed in reverse does not exceed 2km/h.
This is a self-propelled mower. As you press and hold the trigger, the motors drive the rear wheels and the
lawn mower moves forward by itself, you just need to steer. The driving power of this lawn mower offers
considerable assistance in effortlessly mowing gardens on a slope or tilt.

PRELIMINARY SETTINGS ON THE TOOL
You can also manage the turning speed of the cutting blades manually by conguring the lawn mower in
one of the 3 possible settings.
The thicker and higher the grass, the faster the turning speed of the blades should be.
The density sensor (15) located at the front of the mower
automatically regulates the rotation speed of the cutting
blades, which will varies between 3000 and 5000 rpm
depending on the density and height of the grass.
For the mower to automatically adjusts the speed of the
cutting blades, you must set the mower to automatic; a
single green LED will light up.
When the optical sensor is soiled, it can no longer
analyse the density and the height of the grass to be cut.
The mower stops the rotation of the cutting blades and a
ashing error code is displayed on the control box.
a. Automatic blade speed:
The optical sensor (15) must therefore be cleaned so
that the lawn mower can continue to automatically adjust
the turning speed of the cutting blades.
Turn off the battery.
Always clean the optical sensor with water and a wet
cloth then turn the battery back on.
Never use solvents!
If you still want to continue working, switch to manual
mode, select one of the three speeds and clean the
sensor later.
b. Manual blade speed:

PRELIMINARY SETTINGS ON THE TOOL
In Boost mode the mower accelerates to its maximum speed (5000 rpm) for 2.5 seconds, then
returns to its set speed.
The boost function can be activated at any time in both automatic or manual mode. It is useful
when mowing irregularities are encounter (tall, dense grasses etc.) and avoids having to change
the initial settings of the mower.
The noise generated by the mower and the battery life
both depend directly on the turning speed of the cutting
blades:
The faster the blades are turning, the greater the noise
and the lower the battery life.
When the AUTO mode is enabled, the noise generated
will increase as the rotational speed of the blades
increases.

c. Noise Levels
The boost function can be activated using the bar (2) (see mowing commands page 22).
