ing the cable ties (fig. 3).

charge the battery for 24 hours. Refer also to the sec-
tion titled “MAINTENANCE, BATTERY”.

USING THE MOWER
GENERAL
Your new lawn mower combines two different
functions in the same machine:
1. "MULTICLIP"
When delivered, the machine is equipped with a
plug (P) mounted in the grass evacuation opening
(fig. 28). The machine can be used for "Multiclip",
i.e. when cutting the grass is finely chopped by the
blade. The grass is then spread into the lawn where
it decomposes. In this way, nutrients are put back
into the lawn.
To remove the plug, press in the catch (S). When
remounting the plug, make sure that both the pins
are pressed down into the holes, so that the plug
snaps into place.
