When you start the engine, the machine must not be lying on its side or in a slanting position. If it is necessary to
hold the machine at a slant, always ensure that the cutting tools are pointing away from the person using the
machine, although only as far as absolutely necessary.
Never put your hands or feet near or under revolving parts. Always make sure that your hands or feet do not get
under the housing.
Stop the motor, remove the spark plug connector, check that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill
and, if there is one, remove the ignition key:
– when leaving the machine;
– before you check, clean or carry out any work on the machine;
– before you eliminate jams or blockages in the ejection channel;
– before you remove a foreign body;
– if the machine starts to vibrate strangely.
•
If a foreign object has been encountered or if the machine becomes blocked, e.g. by driving onto an obstacle, a
specialist dealer must check whether parts of the machine have been damaged or deformed. Any necessary repairs
must also be carried out by an authorized specialist workshop.
•
If you notice unusually strong vibrations in your machine, you must have it checked by an authorized dealer.
Switch the motor off and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill,
– when lifting or tilting the machine, e.g. for transport;
– when transporting the machine to and from the working area;
– when moving the machine off the lawn;
– if leaving the machine for any time;
– when setting the scarifying depth;
– before removing the collector bag.
•
If the engine is equipped with a petrol shut-off valve, this should be closed after scarifying.
Maintenance and storage
•
Ensure that all screws have been tightened securely and that the machine is in a safe working condition.
The ejection flap must only be opened and the grass collector removed when the motor is turned off.
Never store a machine which still contains petrol inside a building where petrol fumes may come into contact
with naked flames or sparks or where they may ignite.
The engine and exhaust reach very high temperatures during operation.
Allow the machine to cool down for at least 15 minutes before starting any maintenance or cleaning work.
•
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the motor, silencer (exhaust) and fuel tank free from grass, leaves or leaking oil (grease).
When placing on the side, ensure that no oil or fuel comes out of the machine. Fire hazard!
Allow the motor to cool down before storing the machine in a closed room.
Do not store the machine in the vicinity of open flames or fire sources such as boilers or heaters.
Before you start scarifying, always check the grass collecting equipment for wear or loss of functionality.
Before you start scarifying, always check the condition and firm attachment of the cutter blade shaft. Worn or
damaged blades must always be replaced. Always have a specialist workshop replace the cutter blades or work
on the cutter blade shaft. If the cutter blade shaft is assembled incorrectly parts can become loose, which can
lead to serious injuries.
•
Make sure that the spark plug connector is firmly seated! Touching is only a risk if the spark plug connector is not
installed correctly.
•
For reasons of safety, always replace worn or damaged parts.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and cleaning work.
Maintenance and cleaning work must only be carried out if the engine has been turned off and the spark plug
connector has been removed.
