Bring the ride-on mower to a standstill immediately and stop the
mowing blade if someone moves into the area to be mown.
Always monitor the area in front of the vehicle. Be-ware of
obstacles, in order to be able to evade them in time.
Before reversing, always check the area behind the ride-on mo-
wer and, if present, disengage the attach-ment. Never mow in
reverse, if it is not absolutely necessary. When mowing in re-
verse, take particular care and before beginning to mow, tho-
roughly check the entire area behind the ride-on mower.
When working together in a group, always inform the others in
advance of what you intend to do. Maintain a safety distance!
The vehicle speed must be reduced before each change of di-
rection, so that the user retains control of the machine at all
times and also that the ride-on mower cannot tip over.
When operating near to roads and when crossing roads, other
road users must be taken into account.
Take particular care when mowing near roads, cycle paths and
footpaths. Objects which are thrown up by the mower can
cause severe injury and damage.
Handling petrol
Danger to life! Petrol is poisonous and ex-tremely in
ammable.
Petrol must only be stored in appropriate, tested con-tainers
(canisters). Always screw on the fuel tank and canister caps
properly and tightly. Defective caps must be replaced for safety
reasons.
Keep petrol away from sparks, naked flames, pilot lights, heat
sources, and other ignition sources. Do not smoke!
Refill the tank out-of-doors and do not smoke during re lling.
Before refilling the tank, stop the engine and allow it to cool.
Re lling with petrol must be performed before the en-gine is
started. When the engine is running or is hot, the tank cap must
not be removed and the tank must not be refilled with petrol.
Open the fuel tank cap slowly and carefully. Wait for pressure
compensation and only then remove the tank cap completely.
Use a suitable funnel or filling pipe for refilling the tank, so that
no fuel can spill onto the engine and housing or the lawn.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
To give the fuel room to expand, never fill the fuel tank past
the lower edge of the ller neck. Observe the ad-ditional inst-
ructions in the engine instruction manual.
If petrol is spilled, the engine must only be started after the pet-
rolcontaminated area has been cleaned. All attempts at starting
must be avoided until the pet-rol fumes have dispersed (wipe
dry).
Any spilt fuel must be wiped up immediately.
Clothing must be changed if it comes into contact with petrol.
Following each refilling of the tank, the fuel tank cap must be
properly screwed on and tightened. The ma-chine must not be
operated without the original tank cap.
For safety reasons, the fuel line, fuel tank, tank cap and con-
nections must be checked regularly for dam-age, ageing (britt-
leness), firm seating and leaks. Re-place if necessary.
If it is necessary to drain the tank, this must be done out of
doors.
Never use beverage bottles or similar for disposal or storage of
fuels and lubricants. Persons, particularly children, could be
tempted to drink out of them.
Never store the machine with petrol in the tank inside a building.
The resulting petrol fumes could come into contact with naked
ames or sparks and could be ig-nited.
Do not leave the machine and the fuel tank close to heating
systems, radiant heaters, welding equipment and other sources
of heat. Explosive hazard!
If, during operation, a defect in the tank, tank cap or in the fuel-
carrying components (fuel lines) is detected, the engine must
be stopped immediately. A specialist dealer must then be con-
tacted.
Battery safety
Improper use of the battery and charger can re-sult in an
electrical shock or fire.
When Operating
Keep battery charger dry. Avoid exposing battery pack to rain
or wet conditions.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not allow water
to flow into AC plug.
• Do not short circuit; never place any object into the battery
contacts.
When Charging Battery Pack
• Charge original battery pack only with original bat-tery
charger.
• Do not use battery charger to charge generic bat-teries.
• Keep battery charger dry. Avoid exposing battery pack to
rain or wet conditions.
• To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by
plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. • Do
not operate charger with damaged plug or cord. The
supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged,
the charger should be replaced imme-diately. • Do not
operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been drop-
ped, or otherwise damaged in any way. If charger is da-
maged it must be replaced. Charger is not serviceable
• Do not disassemble charger; or attempt to service.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from out-
let before cleaning.
• Do not short circuit; never place any object into the battery
contacts.
