2. Clean the underside of the deck with a stiff brush, before any maintenance is undertaken to the blade.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready for operation. The connection complies with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. The customer‘s mains connection as well as the extension cable used
must also comply with these regulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improperly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Damaged electrical connection cables must not be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does not
hang on the power network during the inspection.
