Stihl RMA 510 Product Instruction Manual - Page 13

If the motor is thermally overloaded during operation, it is designed to cut out automatically and must cool down before it is restarted. Causes of overload: - Mowing overlong grass or cutting height set too low. - Feed rate too high from walking too fast. - Dirty cooling air inlets (intake slots). Do not operate the mower at temperatures below 41 °F (5 °C). Do not mow wet grass. The drive motor is not waterproof. Never work with the lawn mower in the rain or in wet or very damp locations. Do not leave the mower outdoors in the rain. Do not operate the machine when there is a risk of lightning strike. The switch and safety devices installed in the machine must not be removed or bypassed. In particular, never secure the switch lever to the handle (e.g. by tying it). Do not operate the machine with a folded handle. Do not switch on the motor if either the rear or side ejection chute is not shielded appropriately. MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND STORING If you make a warranty claim for a component which has not been serviced or maintained properly STIHL may deny coverage. WARNING Use only identical STIHL replacement parts for maintenance and repair, including the cutting blade. Use of nonSTIHL parts may reduce operational efficiency or may cause serious or fatal injury. Strictly follow the maintenance and repair instructions in the appropriate section of your instruction manual. Please also refer to the maintenance chart in this manual. WARNING Always switch off the motor, remove the fuse key and battery and make sure that the cutting blade is stopped before doing any maintenance or repair work, replacing the cutting attachment or cleaning the mower. This avoids the risk of the motor starting unintentionally. Do not attempt any maintenance or repair work not described in your instruction manual. STIHL recommends having such work performed by your STIHL servicing dealer. English Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws after each use. Regularly check the electrical contacts and ensure that the insulation of the power cord and plug of the charger is in good condition and shows no sign of damage. Electrical components, e.g. power cord of charger, may only be repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. Clean plastic components with a cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents. They may damage the plastic. Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing as necessary. Do not spray the mower with water. Do not clean your mower with a pressure washer. The solid jet of water may damage parts of the machine. Keep the battery guides free from foreign matter - clean as necessary. Maintain or replace warning and instruction labels as necessary. Store the mower in a dry, locked location with the fuse key and battery removed and out of reach of children. RMA 510 11
