3. Loosen both fixing nuts (9).
4. With both hands on the adjusting handles (12) set the
cutting height you require (Fig. O):
• Highest cutting height: 45 mm
• Lowest cutting height: 20 mm
NOTE: Make sure that the arrows marking the cutting
height (8) show the same cutting height on both sides of
the scale (Fig. O1).
5. Re-tighten both fixing nuts (9) (Fig. N). NOTE: When
setting the Mantis Reel Mower to a low cutting height,
ensure that the lower blade and cutting cylinder do not
touch the ground if the ground is uneven.
1. Charging the battery (Fig. P)
For technical reasons the battery (20) is not charged.
Consequently, the unit needs to be charged before initial
operation.
For this exclusively, use the Charger LG 24 (21).
Plug the charger (21) into the mains socket and then push the
plug for the charger (22) into the charging socket (23) of the
battery. The charging procedure begins.
Ensure you use the correct mains voltage!
Charging time: approx. 24 hours for the initial charge.
Afterwards, 12 - 24 hours depending on the state of charge.
The battery reaches its full capacity only after numerous
(approx. 5) charging/discharging processes.
2. Connecting the battery (Fig. Q – T)
1. Open the harness compartment (Fig. Q). Hold the battery
in your right hand and use your left hand to pull the
harness to the left so that the ends of the harness lie flat
against the battery (Fig. R).
2. Push the battery into the contact bar (24) until you hear it
click into place (Fig. S).
3. Fold the harness into loops, stow it away in the harness
compartment (Fig. T) and close the cover (13). This also
secures the battery in the contact bar.
3. Starting your Mower (Fig. U)
Start your Mantis Reel Mower as follows:
1. Stand your mower on a level part of the lawn.
2. To start the motor, press and hold down the release knob
(15) (Fig. U) and with the other hand, simultaneously pull
the starting handle (16) towards the cross bar (Fig. U).
3. If you release the starting handle (16) the motor switches
off again.
Attention! Cutting cylinder continue to run for a few seconds
after the motor is switched off. When working with the
Mantis Reel Mower the battery heats up; this is normal and
does not affect its performance.
THE SWITCHES INSTALLED BY THE
MANUFACTURER MUST NOT BE REMOVED
OR BE BRIDGED (EX: BY TAPING DOWN THE
STARTING HANDLE (16) TO THE GUIDE
HANDLE). THIS WILL PREVENT THE MOWER
SWITCHING OFF AUTOMATICALLY, AND
COULD CAUSE FATAL INJURY.
WARNING! BEFORE STARTING YOUR
MANTIS REEL MOWER CHECK FOR FOREIGN
BODIES IN THE CUTTING CYLINDER AND
REMOVE IF NECESSARY.
NEVER CHARGE THE BATTERY
ANYWHERE NEAR EASILY
INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
CHARGE THE BATTERY IN A DRY
PLACE AND AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
THE MAINS PLUG (21) HEATS UP
SLIGHTLY DURING THE CHARGING
PROCEDURE.
CHARGE THE BATTERY FOR 24
HOURS BEFORE USING YOUR MANTIS REEL
MOWER FOR THE FIRST TIME.
DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY
WITH CHARGING EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN
THE CHARGER LG 24 SINCE ONLY THIS
CHARGER HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY ADAPTED
FOR USE WITH THE BATTERY.
THE USE OF OTHER CHARGING UNITS CAN
LEAD TO DAMAGE AND INJURIES.
THE USE OF OTHER CHARGING UNITS MAKES
ALL CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION NULL AND
VOID AND RELEASES THE MANUFACTURER
FROM ALL GUARANTEE SERVICES.
