SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. General remarks

1.1 Read the operating instructions carefully. Familiarise yourself with

the proper use of the machine.

1.2 People under 16 or people who have not read the operating

instructions are not allowed to use the machine.

1.3 Do not operate the machine when there are others, in particular

children or animals, in the area. The person using the machine is

responsible for third parties in the working area of the machine.

1.4 The person using the machine is responsible for accidents invol-

ving other people or their property.

1.5

Please keep these operating instructions for later use.

1.6 The lawn tractor does not have approval according to the Highway

Code. You are therefore not allowed to drive on public ways and

roads with it.

1.7 Never mow on slopes with an inclination of more than 10° (18%).

1.8 No passengers may be transported on the machine.

2. Preparations

2.1 Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers while mowing. Never

go barefoot or wear open sandals.

2.2 Completely check the area on which the machine is to be used

and remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign

objects. Always watch out for foreign objects when mowing.

2.3 -  Petrol is to be poured in before starting the engine.

WARNING! Petrol is highly flammable!

- Only keep petrol in the containers designed for this purpose.

-  Only fill the machine in the open and do not smoke when filling

the machine.

-  The tank may not be opened or petrol topped up while the engi-

ne is running or when the machine is hot.

-  If petrol has been spilt, do not start the engine. Instead, remove 

the mower from the area contaminated with petrol. The spilt

petrol must be sucked or wiped off the engine and the housing

with a cloth. No attempts at ignition may be made until the

vapours have disappeared.

-  Use a funnel or a filling tube when pouring in petrol so that no

fuel can leak onto the engine or onto the lawn.

-  For safety reasons, replace the tank lid and the petrol tank if

they are damaged.

2.4 The exhaust and the area around the exhaust can reach tempera-

tures of up to 80°. 

ATTENTION: danger of burning! 

Replace damaged silencers.

2.5 Before use, always make a visual check to see if the blade, the

fastening bolts or the entire cutting unit are worn or damaged. In

order to avoid an imbalance, worn or damaged blades must be

replaced with new ones.

2.6 Ensure that the movement of one blade can lead to rotations of

the other blades when mowing with more than one blade.

2.7 An examination by an expert is necessary if the machine stops

immediately, e.g. after impact with an obstacle (damage to the

drive shaft, bent blades etc.).

3. Instructions for use

3.1 The combustion engine may not be operated in enclosed rooms in

which dangerous fumes can collect - danger of poisoning!

3.2 Only mow your lawn in daylight or in good illumination. Please

observe any local directives about when you are allowed to use

the machine (see operating times for lawn tractors).

3.3 Before starting the machine, switch off the mowing appliance, put

the drive into neutral and operate the parking brake.

3.4 Please remember that there are no "safe slopes". Mowing slopes

with a lawn requires special attention. In order to protect yourself

against tipping over, you should:

- not stop or start suddenly if you are moving up or down the

slope,

- suppress the clutch slowly, leave the clutch depressed, in parti-

cular when driving down the slope,

-  keep the speed low on slopes and in tight bends,

- pay special attention to hills, recesses and other invisible dan-

gers,

- never mow transverse to the slope if it has an inclination of

more than 10°.

3.5 Always pay attention to road traffic when you are crossing roads or

working in the vicinity of roads.

3.6 When driving the tractor, pay attention to low-hanging obstacles

(branches, washing lines etc.) which can injure the driver.

3.7 Switch the mowing appliance off when driving off the lawn, lift it to

the highest cutting position.

3.8 Never operate lawn tractors with a damaged housing or defective

protective devices.

3.9 Before leaving the driver's seat:

- switch the mowing appliance off and wait until the blades come

to a standstill,

- switch the engine off and remove the ignition key.

3.10 Disengage the drive, turn the engine off and pull out the spark plug

connector or the ignition key 

- before eliminating blockages or obstructions in the discharge

channel 

- before checking or cleaning the mower or doing any other work

on it 

- if a foreign body is hit. Look for damage to the machine and

have the necessary repairs done before you start it again;

- if the mower starts to vibrate unusually severely, an imme-

diate check is necessary.

- whenever you leave the mower unattended or transport it 

- before filling up with petrol 

- before removing the grass box.

3.11 The basic setting of the engine in the factory is correct and must

not be altered.

3.12 Start and operate the starting switch carefully (see Chapter "Star-

ting the engine"). Make sure that your feet are at a safe distance

from the blade.

3.13 Do not tip the mower when starting or turning the engine on.

3.14 Do not start the engine if anyone is standing in front of the dischar-

ge channel.

3.15 Keep your hands and feet out of the area of the rotating blade.

Keep other people away from the discharge channel when the

blade is rotating.
