Caution when mowing slopes
When mowing slopes,
there is a risk of slipping
and tilting!
Only mow steep slopes when safe
operation assured.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
When mowing steep slopes, meet the
appropriate safety measures, e.g. use
step irons.
Always mow in horizontal directions,
never up- or downwards.
Sure footing is essential for your safety,
always wear skid proof safety shoes.
Be extremely careful when changing the
direction.
Only mow when the surface is dry and
non-slip.
The device can roll away when you mow
downhill. Put the device down on even
surfaces only and prevent inadvertent rolling.
Mowing surfaces with fire hazard
Carry a sufficient amount of suitable
extinguishing agent.
If side inclination is too great, fuel may
leak from the carburetor or the tank. This
poses a fire hazard!
Observe the mowed surface also after
moving is completed to ensure that no
fire will start.
To avoid risk of fire, keep the following
components free of dirt, grass, hay, leaking
oil, grease, etc.:
Engine
Silencer (manifold, guard, clearances)
Area around the fuel tank
When work is completed
After mowing, always close the fuel valve and
the tank ventilation.
Prior to leaving the device, wait until the
blade comes to a standstill and pull off the
spark plug connector.
After switching it off, let the device cool down
for at least 20 minutes before you store it in a
dry, closed, sufficiently ventilated room.
Never store the device when there is fuel in
the tank inside a building where fuel vapours
might come into contact with open fire or
sparks.
