Danger
Risk of injury
No person, especially children,
and/or animals should be allowed
to stand close to the mower while it
is in use. They could be injured by
stones or similar objects that might
be thrown out. Children must never
be allowed to operate the mower.
Be particularly careful when
mowing in reverse gear (units with
OCR switch). There must be
nobody in the working area of the
unit. Never empty the grass catcher
attachment while the cutter deck is
running. While emptying the grass
catcher attachment, you or other
persons may be injured by ejected
clippings.
If you are mowing on steep slopes,
the unit may overturn and you may
be injured. Never ride straight up or
down an incline, but always across
it. The mower should not be driven
on slopes with a maximum incline
greater than 20 %. Do not turn the
mower round while you are still on
the slope.
If the ground is wet the mower
could slip due to reduced traction
and overturn. Only cut the grass
when the ground is dry.
Excessive speed can increase the
risk of an accident.
Maintain a safe distance at all times
from particularly steep slopes,
trees, bushes and hedges.
Pay particular attention when you
are travelling in reverse while
mowing at the same time.
Inspect the ground on which the
mower is going to be used and
remove any loose objects that
could be picked up and thrown out
again by the mower.
If the cutter hits a foreign object
(e.g. stone) or if the unit starts
vibrating unusually: Immediately
switch off the engine. Before
continuing to use the unit, have it
checked for damage by a service
centre.
When rotary mowing, never stand
in front of the grass discharge
openings. Never place hands or
feet on or under rotating parts.
Switch off the engine and remove
the ignition key and the spark-plug
terminal before loosening obstruc-
tions or removing blockages from
the discharge channel.
Do not use the unit in adverse
weather conditions, e.g. if there is a
risk of rain or a storm.
