SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose
their grip so that the machine skids.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
•
When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
driv
en near verges or ditches.
• When mowing, keep away from bushes and other objects.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding
wheel w
eights or counterbalance w
eights to increase
machine stability.
Children
• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard
for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are
often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the area to be mowed and under
close supervision b
y another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter
the wor
k area.

• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and
seriously injure themselv
es or be in the way for safe
manoeuvring of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.

other objects that b
loc
k your view.
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent starting by removing the ignition
cable from the spark plug or remove the ignition key
before making any adjustments or carrying out
maintenance.

• Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely
flammable
. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as
carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.

• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be
started until the prob
lem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no
risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause an

• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and
the sun ma

the spill and wait until it has e
vaporated before starting the
engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing.
