1. Safety Instructions
Riding on the implement during opera-
tion or in transport is not permitted.
If clogging occurs in the implement, turn
off the engine and clean the implement
with an appropriate tool.
In case of damage to the power mower
or to the implement, immediately turn
off the engine and have it repaired.
If steering causes problems, immedi-
ately bring the mower to a halt and turn
it off. Have the malfunction removed
without delay.
To prevent the mower from sliding on
slopes, make sure it is secured by an-
other person using a bar or a cord. This
person must be located at a higher po-
sition than the vehicle and at a safe dis-
tance from the attachment at work.
If possible, always work horizontally on
the slope.
End of Operation
Never leave the mower unattended with
the engine running.
Before you leave the power mower, turn
off the engine.
Secure power mower against unauthor-
ized use. If mower is equipped with ig-
nition key, remove the key. For all other
versions, remove spark plug connector.
Implements
Only mount implements with the engine
and PTO switched off.
Always use appropriate tools and wear
gloves when changing implements and
parts thereof.
For mounting and dismounting imple-
ments bring support leg into proper po-
sition and ensure stability.
Secure mower and implements against
rolling off (parking brake, wheel chocks).
Beware of injuries while coupling imple-
ments.
Mount implements as specified and only
couple at specified points.
Secure mower and implement against
unauthorized use and rolling off when
you leave the machine. If necessary, in-
stall transport or security devices and
secure.
Mowing Attachment
Handle with care! Sharp blades of the
cutter bar may cause injuries! Remove
protective knife strips only for mowing
and refit immediately after work has fin-
ished.
For transport and storage always mount
the protective knife strips. Secure fin-
ger bars additionally with tension
springs.
Do not transport the dismounted cutter
bar without protective strips.
Before mounting and dismounting the
cutter bar, make sure all blades are pro-
tected by the protective strip.
To exchange the mowing knife and to
mount/dismount the knife driver, make
sure that you turn screws away from
cutting edges.
For grinding the mowing knives, always
wear safety goggles and gloves.
