- Clean the lawn scarifier
with care after use.
Never use high-pressure
cleaners and do not clean
the lawn scarifier under
running water (e.g. garden
hose).
Do not use aggressive
cleaning agents. These
cleaners can damage
plastics and metals,
impairing the safe operation
of your VIKING appliance.
Observe the instructions in
the “Maintenance” section.
- Ensure that all nuts, pins
and bolts are securely
tightened, so that the
appliance is in a safe
operating condition at all
times.
- Replace danger signs and
warnings on the appliance
which have become illegible.
Your VIKING dealer has a
stock of replacement
stickers.
- Regularly check the entire
machine and the catcher
bag (special accessory –
not included in standard
equipment) for wear or
damage, particularly before
storing the appliance for
prolonged periods of time
(over winter). Replace worn
or damaged parts in order to
ensure that the appliance is
always in a safe operating
condition.
- In order to prevent fire
hazards, keep the engine,
exhaust, and the area
around the fuel tank free
from grass, straw, moss,
leaves or emerging grease.
- Store the cooled lawn
scarifier safely in a dry,
well-ventilated and locked
place that is inaccessible
to children.
04.06 Warning:
petrol is poisonous
and extremely
inflammable
- Petrol must only be stored in
appropriate containers.
- Keep petrol away from
sparks, naked
flames, pilot lights,
heat sources, and
other ignition sources.
- Re-fill the tank out of doors
and do not smoke during
re-filling.
- Do not fill fuel tank
completely, but fill to approx.
4 cm below the edge of the
filler neck so that the fuel
has room to expand.
- Re-filling with petrol must be
performed before the engine
is started. When the engine
is running or is hot, the tank
cap must not be removed
and the tank must not be re-
filled with petrol. Petrol may
be spilled.
Fire hazard!
- If the petrol tank overflows,
no attempt must be made to
start the engine. The
machine must be removed
from the area contaminated
with petrol. All attempts at
starting must be avoided
until the petrol fumes have
dispersed (wipe dry).
- Screw on caps of fuel tank
and canister properly and
tightly.
- For safety reasons, the fuel
line, fuel tank, tank cap and
connections must be
checked regularly for
damage, ageing
(brittleness), firm seating
and leaks. Replace if
necessary (consult a
specialist dealer; VIKING
recommends a VIKING
specialist dealer).
- Replace damaged mufflers
and guards. The lawn
scarifier may not be used
with a defective muffler.
- Never store the appliance
with petrol in the tank inside
a building in which the petrol
fumes could come into
contact with naked flames or
sparks and could be ignited.
- Allow the engine to cool
before storing the appliance
in an enclosed space.
