Safety Instructions

Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

General Safety

• Read all instructions before use.
• Keep children and pets away from the operating area.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, sturdy footwear, and hearing protection.
• Do not operate the lawnmower in wet conditions or rain.
• Inspect the power cord for damage before each use.

Lawnmower Specific Safety

• Ensure the grass collector is securely attached before starting.
• Never place hands or feet near rotating parts.
• Clear the area of stones, sticks, and other debris before mowing.
• Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning, adjusting, or performing maintenance.
• Mow across slopes, not up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Setup and Assembly

Your Cecotec Terrenator 360 Flex Z lawnmower requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your lawnmower for first use.

1. Handle Assembly

Attach the upper handle to the lower handle using the provided fasteners. Ensure all connections are secure.

2. Grass Collector Attachment

Assemble the 40-liter grass collector if it came disassembled. Then, securely attach it to the rear of the lawnmower. Ensure it clicks into place to prevent grass clippings from escaping.

3. Height Adjustment

The lawnmower features a Z-Tech centralized height adjustment system. To adjust the cutting height, locate the lever on the side of the mower. Move the lever to select one of the 6 available positions, ranging from 25 mm to 75 mm.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your electric lawnmower.

1. Starting the Lawnmower

1. Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the lawnmower and a suitable outdoor power outlet.
2. Hold the safety switch lever on the handle.
3. Press the start button (if applicable) or pull the bail switch towards the handle to engage the motor.
4. The 1500W motor will start, and the blade will begin to rotate.

2. Mowing Technique

• Push the lawnmower at a steady, comfortable pace.
• Overlap each cutting pass slightly to ensure even coverage.
• For best results, avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time.
• The 36 cm cutting width allows for efficient coverage of your lawn.

3. Mulching Function (3-in-1)

Your lawnmower offers a 3-in-1 function, including mulching. To activate mulching, ensure the grass collector is removed and the mulching plug (if provided) is inserted into the discharge chute. This will finely chop grass clippings and return them to the lawn as natural fertilizer.

4. Stopping the Lawnmower

Release the safety switch lever or bail switch to stop the motor and blade rotation. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before approaching the machine.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your lawnmower.

1. Cleaning

• Always disconnect from power before cleaning.
• After each use, clean the underside of the mower deck to remove grass clippings and debris. Use a brush or scraper.
• Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use water jets or high-pressure cleaners.
• Empty and clean the grass collector regularly.

2. Blade Care

• Periodically check the blade for sharpness and damage. A dull blade can tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
• If the blade is dull, have it sharpened by a qualified service technician.
• If the blade is bent or damaged, it must be replaced. Use only genuine Cecotec replacement parts.

3. Storage

• Store the lawnmower in a dry, secure place, away from children.
• Clean the mower thoroughly before long-term storage.
• The handle can be folded for compact storage.
