Starting off or stopping on a gradient must

be avoided.

Do not use the machine in places (slopes,

ditches, etc.) where the ride-on mower can

tip over or slide. The danger of tipping over

or sliding increases if the ground is soft or

damp.

Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal

direction. Driving transversely increases

the danger of tipping over.

Do not change speed or direction abruptly

when driving on slopes. Work in this type

of situation requires calm, cautious and

even operation of the ride-on mower.

Changes of direction on slopes must be

avoided. Only turn on slopes if this is

unavoidable. If possible, drive slowly and

in a large curve in the down-slope

direction.

Do not mow wet grass, particularly on

slopes, as wheel grip is reduced on wet

grass. The ride-on mower could slide and

become uncontrollable for the user.

The gearbox must never be disengaged

via the gearbox freewheel when driving on

slopes.

Special care must be taken when

operating attachments on slopes (altered

weight distribution of the machine).

If the wheels should start to slip or if the

vehicle becomes stuck in the up-slope

direction when driving on an incline, the

mowing blades or the attachment must be

disengaged. Then leave the slope by

driving slowly downhill in a straight line.

Never try to stabilise the ride-on mower by

pressing on the ground with your foot.

The weight of the grass catcher box

increases the danger of the ride-on mower

tipping over, particularly when it is full.

Never empty or lift the grass catcher box

on an incline.

Pulling loads:

Particular care must be taken when pulling

loads, in order to prevent the risk of severe

or even fatal injuries due to the ride-on

mower tipping over.

Only use accessories approved by VIKING

for transporting objects. Transportation on

the ride-on mower, in or on the grass

catcher box, is not permitted.

For pulling loads, use only the trailer hitch.

Loads must never be attached to the axle

housing or to another point above the

trailer hitch.

Please refer to the section "Pulling loads"

for information on pulled and coupling

loads. (Ö 13.11)

Exceeding the specified pulled load is

dangerous and may result in damage to

the machine (engine, gearbox, etc.).

When transporting on slopes, the loads

must be adapted so that safe handling of

the ride-on mower (e.g. braking, change of

direction, starting off) is ensured at all

times.

Check whether loads are properly and

securely fastened. Use lashing straps for

securing loads.

Ensure balanced load distribution.

Use suitable additional weights

(accessories) if this is described in the

instruction manual for the attachment.

Do not execute tight curves. Particular

care must be taken when reversing.

Do not change speed or direction abruptly.

Stopping and parking:

The ride-on mower must only be parked on

a level surface.

Make sure that the ride-on mower has

come to a complete standstill before you

dismount.

Beware of the cutting tool

running on for several seconds

before coming to a standstill.

Before leaving the driver’s seat,

disengage the mowing blades

or the drive to the attachments, lower the

mowing deck and all attachments, set all

control levers to the neutral position,

engage the parking brake, stop the engine

and remove the ignition key.

Keep the ignition key in a place where only

authorised persons can access it.

4.8 Maintenance and repairs

Before beginning cleaning,

adjustment, repair and

maintenance operations, park

the machine on firm, level ground, engage

the parking brake, stop the engine, allow it

to cool down and remove the ignition key.

Allow the machine to cool down before

working on or around the engine, exhaust

manifold or muffler; this also applies in

particular to all maintenance operations on

the mowing deck. Temperatures of 80 °C

and above can be reached. Danger of

burns:

Direct contact with engine oil can be

dangerous. Engine oil must not be spilled.

VIKING recommends leaving the task of

topping up engine oil or performing engine

oil changes to a VIKING specialist dealer.
