• 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

manufacturers 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.

rotating parts. Keep clear of the chute opening at

all times.

- Before you dislodge any blockages or clogs in

the chute.

- Before carrying out any checks, cleaning, main-

tenance or other work on the lawn mower

- If the lawn mower strikes a foreign body, ex-

amine it for signs of damage and carry out any

necessary repairs before restarting and contin-

begins to experience exceptionally strong vibra-

tions, immediately switch it off and check it.

• Switch off the engine:

- When you leave the lawn mower.

- Before you refuel.

• Operation of the machine at higher than normal

speed can lead to an increased risk of accidents.

• Take care when carrying out installation work on

the machine, and avoid trapping ngers between

the moving cutting tool and the xed parts of the

machine.

• Please be particularly careful when mowing on

ground that may subside, on nearby landlls,

trenches and embankments.

• The user must be adequately trained in the use,

adjustment and operation of the machine (including

prohibited operations).

• Check the machine regularly and ensure that all

start locks and push buttons are working properly

before each use.

• Please note that improper maintenance, the use of

inappropriate spare parts, or the removal or modi-

cation of safety devices can result in damage to the

machine and serious injury to the person working

with it.

or devices must not be manipulated or deactivated.

m WARNING

Petrol is highly ammable! Therefore:

• Only store petrol in containers designed to hold pe-

troleum-based liquids.

• Only refuel out in the open and do not smoke during

the refuelling process.

• Always refuel the lawn mower before starting the

engine. Always ensure that the fuel tank cap is

closed when the engine is running and when the

mower is hot; also do not refuel.

• If petrol has overowed, do not under any circum-

stances attempt to start the engine. Instead, re-

move the machine from the affected area. Avoid

starting the engine until the petrol fumes have com-

pletely evaporated.

• For safety reasons, the petrol tank and other tank

closures must be replaced if they are damaged.

• Never store petrol near a source of sparks. Always

use a tested canister. Keep petrol away from chil-

dren.

• 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 safe-

ty grilles are damaged, or without the attached

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

vices.
