Safety Devices - Stihl RMA 443 Manual De Instrucciones

If required, additional STIHL lithium ion
batteries can be purchased (special
accessories).
Eco mode:
The lawn mower features an
eco mode, which improves its
energy efficiency and therefore
its cutting performance.
Eco mode can be switched on and off
using the switch in the battery
compartment. ( 9.2)
Function:
The speed of the motor is reduced
automatically when less power is required.
If more power is required, the speed is
increased again within a fraction of a
second.
10.3 Working area for operator
● For safety reasons, the operator
must stay within the working area
behind the handlebar when the motor is
running. Always observe the safety
distance provided by the handlebar.
● The lawn mower must only be operated
by one person. Other persons must
keep out of the danger area. (
10.4 Correct motor load
Do not switch the lawn mower on in tall
grass. Select a higher cutting height
setting if the motor is difficult to start.
The lawn mower load must never cause
the motor speed to drop significantly.
If the speed drops when mowing tall grass,
select a higher cutting height setting
and/or reduce the speed of propulsion.

When eco mode is switched on, the
speed is reduced automatically

becomes overloaded during operation.
Three red LEDs in the battery illuminate if
a thermal overload occurs. (
