appropriate plug when you switch off the lawn mower<br />
until the next time you need it. If you do not do<br />
this every time, you should at least do it when you<br />
put the lawn mower away to store it for the winter.<br />
– Store the battery in a dry, ventilated room,<br />
where the temperature does not exceed +23°C.<br />
– So that your lawnmower is already ready for use,<br />
we recommend charging the battery after each<br />
mowing session.<br />
The charging device connected to the battery can<br />
remain plugged in until the next mowing session.<br />
The battery can only be charged when it has been<br />
removed from the lawn mower.<br />
– Remove the battery from the lawnmower in<br />
the reserve order.<br />
– Remove the battery from the cable harness.<br />
– Connect the battery cables with the original<br />
JOHN DEERE battery charger and plug the battery<br />
charger into a socket with 220 V.<br />
Please do not connect the battery charger to<br />
the plug of the cable harness, as this can<br />
cause the battery charger to become faulty.<br />
NOTE<br />
Whilst the battery is charging, the red control light on<br />
the battery charger must light up,<br />
if the opposite is the case, it means that the battery<br />
charger is not working.<br />
– After the battery has been charged, connect<br />
the battery cable with the cable harness and<br />
put the battery in place provided.<br />
NOTE<br />
As soon as the battery has to be renewed<br />
because it is old or is mechanically damaged,<br />
it must be handed either to the communities<br />
public collection points for special waste or it<br />
must be handed back to your JOHN DEERE<br />
dealer so that he can dispose of it in the proper<br />
manner.<br />

6. Starting the engine $ + % + &<br />
Only start the engine when standing behind of the<br />
mower. Place the mower on a level surface where<br />
the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start<br />
of the cutter bar and makes starting more difficult).<br />
Where this is not possible, position the mower in such<br />
a way that the cutter is facing diagonally in the<br />
direction away from the user.<br />
– If the engine is cold, shift operating lever of the<br />
engine (1) on handle to “Start” (2). $<br />
– Press the safety switch bow (5) onto the upper<br />
handle (6) and hold tight. %<br />
– Turn the ignition key to the right until it will go no<br />
further and until the engine starts. $<br />
NOTE<br />
In order to guarantee longer life of battery and<br />
starter the starting procedure should never be<br />
more than 5 seconds.<br />
– It may be necessary to repeat the starting<br />
procedure.<br />
– After the engine has been started set the<br />
operating lever (1) to “Max/Start” (3). $<br />
– If a warm engine is started, set the operating lever<br />
to “Max/Start” (3) and start engine as described<br />
above.<br />
– Should the engine fail to start, proceed as for a<br />
cold engine.<br />
– In position “Max/Start” (3), the engine<br />
functions best a maximum speed that is<br />
necessary for a clean cut (engine speed =<br />
cutter speed).<br />
NOTE<br />
Should the electric starter be defect it is possible to<br />
start the engine by hand.<br />
– The operating lever for the engine must be in the<br />
appropriate position for “cold start” (“Kaltstart”)<br />
or “warm start” $.<br />
– Press the safety switch contact (5) onto<br />
the upper part of the handle (6) and hold<br />
in place %.<br />
– With the other hand pull the starter cable<br />
vigorously &.<br />
– After the engine has started release the cable<br />
slowly back to the engine.<br />
CAUTION<br />
The motor will only run when the safety<br />
W switch contact is pressed onto the upper part<br />
of the handle. As soon as the switch contact<br />
is released, it will spring back to its starting<br />
position, the motor brake will be activated, and<br />
within a few seconds, the motor and the mower<br />
will come to a standstill.
