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 />

Filling with oil §<br />

– Before starting the mower the first time fill 0,6 litre<br />

funnel after unscrewing the oil dipstick.<br />

– Pour in oil slowly up to the maximum mark on the<br />

dipstick. Do not pour in too much oil.<br />

– Check the oil level.<br />

Remove the oil dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a<br />

clean cloth and then screw the dipstick back as<br />

far as it will go. Then withdraw the dipstick once<br />

again and read off the oil level.<br />

– Replace oil dipstick and retighten.<br />

The dipstick must olways be screwed firmly in<br />

W place when the motor is running.<br />

W Never fill up when the engine is hot! Never<br />

allow the engine to run in enclosed spaces<br />

(danger to health!).<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.
