WARNING!
Dangers when cleaning!
During all cleaning work:
■
Switch off the engine and remove
the ignition key.
■
Remove the spark plug connector.
■
Protective devices removed for
cleaning must be reinstalled after-
wards.
■
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not clean
the lawn tractor until it has cooled
down. The engine, transmission and
silencer get very hot!
■
DANGER OF LACERATIONS:
When working on the cutters, pay at-
tention to the sharp blades. In mow-
ers with more than one blade, mov-
ing one cutter can cause the other to
move as well!
8.1
Cleaning the deck, engine and
transmission
Do not use water or a high-pressure cleaner to
spray down the engine or any of the bearing
points (wheels, transmission, blade bearing).
Water penetrating the ignition system, carburettor
and air filter can cause malfunctions. Water in the
bearing points can lead to loss of lubrication, and
thus cause irreparable damage to the bearings.
Use a cloth, hand brush, long-handled paintbrush
or similar for removing dirt and grass residues.
IMPORTANT!
Damage to the electrical system by
penetrating water!
Take care when cleaning the tractor with
water to ensure that no water gets into
the electrical system!
9 TRANSPORT
WARNING!
Danger of crushing if the machine
tips over!
People can be seriously injured by the
intrinsic weight of the machine.
■
Be extremely careful while loading
and unloading the lawn tractor when
transporting it on a vehicle or trailer.
When the lawn tractor is transported using trans-
port equipment (e.g. trailers towed by cars), the
mower mechanism must be supported from be-
low in order to reduce the strain on the mower
mechanism mounting.
During transport, make sure that the means of
transport has a sufficient load capacity and that
the lawn tractor is suitably secured.
10 MAINTENANCE
Dangers during maintenance!
During all maintenance work:
■
Switch off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
■
Remove the spark plug connector.
■
Protective devices removed for maintenance
must be reinstalled afterwards.
■
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not work on the
lawn tractor until it has cooled down. The en-
gine, transmission and silencer get very hot!
■
DANGER OF LACERATIONS: When working
on the cutters, pay attention to the sharp
blades. In case of mowers with multiple
blades, moving one cutter can cause another
one to move as well.
■

uine spare parts.
