• For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank

closures must be replaced if they are damaged.

• Replace defective mufers.

• Before using the mower, visually inspect it to en-

sure that the blade, mounting bolts and the entire

cutting apparatus are in good working order (i.e.

not worn out or damaged). To prevent any imbal-

ance, replace worn out or damaged blades and

mounting bolts as a set only (if applicable).

• Please note that where a mower has more than one

blade, the rotation of one of the blades can cause

the others to rotate as well.

Handling

• Do not let the combustion engine run in enclosed

areas, as dangerous carbon monoxide gas can

build up.

• Only mow in broad daylight or in well-lit conditions.

Avoid using the machine on wet grass as far as

possible.

• Do not mow on excessively steep slopes and near-

by garbage dumps, ditches or dykes

• Do not use the lawn mower in a thunderstorm - risk

of lightning strike!

• Always maintain good footing on inclines.

• Only operate the machine at a walking pace.

• For machines with wheels: Always mow across hills

i.e. never straight up or straight down.

• Be particularly careful when you change direction

on a slope.

• Do not mow on overly steep inclines.

• Always be extra careful when turning the mower

around and when pulling it towards you.

• Switch off the lawn mower and ensure that the

blade has stopped rotating whenever the mower

has to be tilted for transporting over areas other

than lawns and whenever it has to be moved from

or to the area you want to mow.

• Never use the lawn mower if the blade or safety

grilles are damaged, or without the attached

guards, e.g. deectors and/or grass catching de-

vices.

• Do not adjust or overclock the engine speed set-

tings.

• Release the engine brake before you start the en-

gine.

• Start the engine with care, in accordance with the

manufacturerʼs instructions. Make sure that your

feet are far enough away from the mower blade!

• Do not tilt the lawn mower when you start the en-

gine unless the mower must raised off of the ground

a little in order to start it. In the latter case, tilt the

mower as little as absolutely necessary and only

raise the side opposite to that of the user.

• Never start the engine while standing in front of the

chute.
