Safety Notes 

 

 

 

Only  fill  unleaded  regular  or  premium  petrol  in  the  tank  and  do  not  use 
stale  petrol.  Do  not  use  contaminated  petrol  or  oil/gas  mixtures.  When 
adding fuel in the tank make sure dirt and water cannot get into the tank. 
Only fill fuel up to the level indicator.  

 

Switch  off  the  engine  and  let  it  cool  down  for  approx.  2  minutes  before 
adding fuel. Never add fuel to a running engine. 

 

Keep  the  lawn  mower  away  from  all  sources  of  sparks  or  flames.  Do  not 
smoke while handling with fuel. 

 

Please  note  that  if  fuel  is  accidentally  spilled  and  may  be  ignited  by  a 
single spark, there is risk of fire. When handling with fuel make sure not to 
spill  fuel.  Wipe  up  all  spills  and  start  the  lawn  mower  at  least  3  m  away 
from the fuelling point. 

 

Keep  open  flames  out  of  the  area  where  fuel  is  mixed,  poured  or  stored. 
Store fuel in suitable containers. 

 

Do  not  operate  the  lawn  mower  indoors,  not  even  if  the  location  is  well 
ventilated.  Exhaust  fumes  contain  carbon  monoxide  gases.  WARNING: 
Engine exhaust gases contain harmful substances. There is danger to life! 

 

Should  the  lawn  mower  become  damaged,  do  not  use  the  lawn  mower 
furthermore and have it repaired by a professional or contact our customer 
support department. Do not disassemble the lawn mower or try repairing it 
yourself. 

 

Do  not  touch  the  spark  plug  cable  or  the  muffler  while  the  engine  is 
running. There is risk of electric shock and burns. 

 

Only  use  accessory  recommended  by  the  manufacturer.  Contact  our 
support department. 

 

The  grass  catcher  and  some  components  are  subject  to  wear  and 
deterioration,  which  could  expose  moving  parts  or  allow  objects  to  be 
thrown.  Frequently  check  these  components  and  replace  them,  when 
necessary. Only use original replacement parts.  

 

Do not modify the engine setup and do not increase the engine speed. 

 

WARNING:  The  muffler  and  other  parts  of  the  engine 
become hot during operation and remain hot for a while. 
Keep  your  hands  away  from  hot  parts  in  order  to  avoid 
burns.
