8. MAINTENANCE
8.7 Replacing the battery
The battery is maintenance-free, but has a limited life
span of 2 to 4 years.
Battery life is dependent on the length of the season
and how many hours a day the R40Li is used. A long
season or many hours of use a day means that the
battery must be replaced more regularly.
Replacing the battery
If the operating times for the mower are shorter than
normal between charges, this indicates that the battery
is getting old and eventually needs replacing. The
battery is fine as long as the mower maintains a
well-cut lawn.
1. Set the main switch to the 0 position.
2. Lower the cutting height to its lowest position.
3. Turn the mower upside down. Place the mower
on a soft and clean surface to avoid scratching
the body and the display cover.
4. Clean around the battery cover.
5. Unscrew the four screws to the battery cover
(Torx 20) and remove the battery cover.
6. Pull out the battery by pulling on the strap.
7. Fit a new original battery.
NOTE! Press on the contact strip to fit the battery
in place and not on the battery pack itself.
8. Fit the battery cover. If the seal on the battery
cover is visibly damaged, the entire battery cover
must be replaced.
9. Screw in place the four screws for the battery
cover (Torx 20).
10. Reset the cutting height to the required level.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Fully charge the battery at the end of the
season before winter storage.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always use original batteries. Compatibility
with other batteries cannot be guaranteed.
