Safety information
Tips for use
¾ Do not mow lawns which have grass blades
longer than 25 cm.
¾ Drive carefully. Reduce your speed before
turning.
¾ Do not use the device in potentially explosive
atmospheres containing flammable liquids,
gases or dusts. The tool can generate sparks
which could ignite dust or vapours. Prevent
naked flames, formation of sparks, and do not
smoke.
¾ Pay particular attention when you are mowing
or driving in reverse. To prevent accidents,
drive slowly and glance at the ground behind you
as you do so.
¾ Adjust the cutting height only with the
engine switched off and the cutting tool at a
standstill.
¾ Never open the discharge flap while the
engine is still running.
¾ Never drive over gravel or footpaths with the
cutters running. There is a risk of stone chips.
¾ Do not mow over overgrown, dry grass (e.g.
pasture grass) or over dry heaps of leaves.
Do not park the device on dry grass or leaves.
Risk of fire from contact with hot exhausts and
when dry grass or leaves gather on the hot
mower.
¾ Watch out for traffic when working on roads
or when crossing a road. The device is not
designed for use on public roads.
¾ Take extra care with opening and closing the
grass catcher; there is a risk of crushing.
¾ Never stand in front of the grass discharge
openings.
¾ Never empty the grass catcher while the
cutters are running. While emptying the grass
catcher attachment, you or other persons may be
injured by cut grass and objects being flung out.
¾ When mowing close to lawn edges (e.g. close
to particularly steep slopes, pits, or under
trees, and by bushes and hedges), maintain a
safe distance at all times.
¾ If the cutters come into contact with a foreign
body (e.g. a stone), or if the device starts
to vibrate unusually, switch the engine off
immediately. Inspect the device for damage
before continuing operation. If necessary, take it
to a service centre.
¾ Do not use the device without the cutters
attached. The subsequently altered weight
distribution can cause the device to tip over.
Safety information
¾ Switch the engine off and remove the ignition
key before you clear the ejector channel of
blockages or other hindrances.
¾ Be particularly careful when reversing with
the cutters switched on. Only reverse with the
cutter deck switched on if absolutely necessary.
Mowing on steep slopes
¾ Do not mow or drive on slopes with an incline
greater than 15°/26 %.
¾ Always drive transverse to the slope and
not up and down it. Do not turn on slopes.
Working on slopes is dangerous. The device
could tip or skid. If there is no other choice, drive
down inclines slowly and carefully.
¾ Never attempt to stabilise the machine by
placing your feet on the ground.
¾ Always drive on slopes as gently as possible
and brake carefully. When descending, keep
the engine engaged and drive slowly. Exercise
particular caution when changing direction.
¾ Do not use any heavy attachment devices,
e.g. transport trailers, grass catchers or
garden rollers, on slopes with an incline of
more than 9 %.
¾ If operating with an attached trailer, or parts
fastened to the trailer coupling, do not exceed
the following maximum values:
- Max. gradient 9%
- Max. support load on the trailer coupling 22 kg
- Max. trailer load (trailer and load) 113 kg
After use
If you leave the seat of the device, always
Î
switch off the engine. Always remove the igni-
tion key and engage the parking brake.
¾ Ensure that ventilation slots are free from dirt.
¾ Let the engine cool down before you store the
device.
Before carrying out any work on the mower
¾ Protect yourself against injury by doing the
following prior to all performing work on the
device:
- Switch off the engine
- Remove the ignition key
- Engage the parking brake
- Wait until all rotating parts have come to a stand-
still
- Wait until the engine has cooled down
- Pull the spark plug connector off the engine so
that the engine cannot inadvertently start.
