Ryobi 4000475152, Original Instructions Manual

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES

Transport the battery in accordance with local 

and national provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging 

and labelling when transporting batteries by a 

third party. Ensure that no batteries can come 

in contact with other batteries or conductive 

materials while in transport by protecting 

exposed connectors with insulating, non-

conductive caps or tape. Do not transport 

batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check 

with the forwarding company for further 

advice.

MAINTENANCE

 WARNING

Use only original manufacturer’s 

replacement parts, accessories and 

attachments. Failure to do so can cause 

possible injury, can contribute to poor 

performance, and may void your warranty.

 WARNING

Servicing requires extreme care and 

knowledge and should be performed only 

by a qualified service technician. Have the 

product serviced by an authorised service 

centre only. When servicing, use only 

original replacement parts.

■

Turn off the product, and remove the 

isolator key and the battery pack. Make 

sure that all moving parts have come to 

a complete stop before any cleaning or 

maintenance task.

■

You may make adjustments and repairs 

described in this manual. For other repairs, 

contact an authorised service centre.

■

Replace worn or damaged part for safety.

■

Check the grass catcher frequently for 

wear or deterioration.

■

After each use, clean the product with a 

soft, dry cloth. Any part that is damaged 

should be properly repaired or replaced by 

an authorised service centre.

■

Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent 

intervals for proper tightness to ensure the 

product is in safe working condition.

■

Be careful during adjustment of the product 

to prevent entrapment of the fingers 

between moving blades and fixed parts of 

the product.

■

When servicing the blades, be aware that 

even though the power source is turned off, 

the blades can still be moved.

■

The blade on the product is sharp. Use 

extreme caution, and wear heavy-duty 

gloves when fitting, replacing, cleaning, or 

checking bolt security.

■

Replace damaged blades and bolts in sets 

to preserve balance.

■

The blade bolts must be adequately 

tightened. See the manufacturer’s 

recommendations for blade bolt torque, 

which can be found in the product 

specification table in this manual.

CLEARING BLOCKAGES

■

Turn off the product, and remove the 

isolator key and the battery pack. Make 

sure that all moving parts have come to a 

complete stop.

■

Always wear heavy-duty gloves when 

checking or clearing a blockage. The 

blades are sharp and the blockage itself 

could be a sharp object.

■

Remove the grass catcher, check for and 

carefully clear obstructions.

■

Check the grass discharge chute, and 

carefully clear blockages.

■

Turn the product on its side. Check its 

underside and the area around the blade. If 

any blockages are found, remove carefully. 

Remember, the blade may move during 

cleaning.

it is still impossible to completely eliminate 

certain residual risk factors. The following 

hazards may arise during use, and the 

operator should pay special attention to avoid 

the following:

–

Always use the right tool for the job. Use 

designated handles and restrict working 

time and exposure.
