Bosch ROTAK 18V-32 / 18V-34 Lawnmower User Guide

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides essential information for operating the Bosch ROTAK 18V-32 and ROTAK 18V-34 cordless lawnmowers. Key tasks include assembly, battery management, and basic maintenance. Always ensure the battery is removed before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

Assembly and Operation

Follow the steps outlined in the manual for assembly:

• Handle assembly: Unfold and secure the handle (Figure B).
• Grass box: Assemble and attach the grass box (Figure C-D).
• Cutting height: Adjust the cutting height as needed (Figure E).
• Battery: Insert the charged battery (Figure F).

Operation

To operate the lawnmower:

1. Ensure the battery is correctly inserted.
2. Switch on the motor using the controls (Figure G).
3. Mow the lawn at a steady pace.
4. Switch off the motor when finished.

Battery Maintenance

For optimal battery life:

• Store the battery within the temperature range of -20 °C to 50 °C.
• Do not leave the battery in the lawnmower under direct sunlight.
• Clean ventilation slots occasionally with a soft, dry brush.
• If the operating time is significantly reduced after charging, the battery is likely worn out and needs replacement.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Always remove the battery before any maintenance. Keep the lawnmower and ventilation slots clean for safe operation. Do not use high-pressure washers or garden hoses for cleaning. Regularly check for worn or damaged parts, especially the blade and grass box.

Troubleshooting

If the motor does not start, check if the battery is charged, correctly inserted, or if the motor protection has been triggered due to long grass. If the lawnmower operates intermittently or leaves an irregular cut, check for blockages or a blunt blade.
