The intelligent charger measures the charge level of the
battery and charges the battery accordingly with the required
current and voltage based on battery temperature and
voltage. This ensure maximum battery life charge it fully
before storage.
A flashing red LED light on the charger indicates that the
battery temperature is not within the charging temperature
range of -5 °C– 50 °C or the charging current is too high. As
soon as the permitted temperature and the charging current
ranges are reached, the battery charger will automatically
switch to charging.
After continuous or repeated charging cycles without
interruption, the charger may warm up. This is normal and
does not indicate a technical defect of the battery charger.
Green LED flashing rapidly indicates that the battery voltage
is low, the battery will receive an extended charge cycle
approximately 30mins longer. This does not indicate a defect

Mowing tips
• Verify that the lawn is free of stones, sticks, wires ,and other
objects that could damage the lawn mower.
• When cutting thick grass, reduce walking speed in order to
allow for a more effective cut and a proper discharge of the
clippings.
• Never cut off more than one-third of the total length of the
grass for a healthy lawn. If it is roughly 6cm long, the grass
should not be shorter than 4cm once mowed. If the grass
is higher, you should gradually cut it down to the desired
length so as not to damage the grass.
• Do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the
underbody of the lawn mower, preventing the proper
discharge of grass clippings.
