3. Maintenance operations
All operations listed in the section
"Maintenance" must be performed
regularly.
If these maintenance operations cannot be
carried out by the user, a specialist dealer
must be commissioned to perform them.
VIKING recommends that you have
maintenance operations and repairs
performed exclusively by a VIKING
specialist dealer.
VIKING specialist dealers regularly attend
training courses and are provided with
technical information.
If these operations are neglected, faults
may arise which are the responsibility of
the user.
These include:
– damage to the motor as a result of
inadequate cleaning of the cooling air
guide (inlet slots),
– corrosion and other resultant damage
caused by incorrect storage,
– damage to the machine through the use
of inferior-quality spare parts,

– damage due to untimely or inadequate
maintenance or damage due to
maintenance or repair work not
performed in the workshops of
specialist dealers.
15. Environmental protection
Lawn clippings should be
composted and not disposed of
in household waste.
The machine, its packaging and
accessories are all produced
from recyclable materials and must be
disposed of accordingly.
By disposing of materials separately, and
in an environmentally friendly manner,
valuable resources can be re-used. For
this reason, the machine should be
disposed of for recycling at the end of its
useful life. Pay particular attention to the
information in the "Disposal" section
during disposal (
4.9).
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products.
