WARNING!
Maintenance must be carried out by an
Authorized Technical Assistance Service,
according to the instructions provided by
the manufacturer. If this is not the case, the
warranty is null and void.
4.2. Lubrication
Every day, lubricate the blade pin (see Figure 13). To do so, it is
mandatory to comply with the following procedure:
• Disconnect the cable (D) (Fig. 1) connector (7) connecting
the Shears to the battery, even if it is switched off ;
• Using the Allen wrench supplied with the kit (H), unscrew
the screw (11) (Fig. 13) on the blade pin;
• Place the recommended amount (6 gr, 2 pumps) of grease
(RETINAX HD2) in the pump and lubricate the pin as
shown in the Figure 13.
Correct maintenance of the connectors, ensuring that they are
clean and correctly fi tted in the housings, taking care of the
threads and connection points, will make it easier to start up
on the next working day.
At the end of the cutting season, it is best to take the Shears to
the offi
cial technical servicing dealer for annual maintenance.
The servicing dealer will check the state of the batteries, the
motor and all of its components.
