Operating Manual English
5
Only refuel the mower out in the
open.
Avoid naked flames, spark
formation and do not smoke.
Make sure that at all times there
are no persons, especially children,
or animals in the working area.
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. In so doing
you will not only avoid injury to
persons but also damage to the
mower.
Do not mow on slopes with an
incline greater than 20%. Working
on slopes can be dangerous as the
mower can tip over or start to slide.
Never ride straight up or down an
incline, but always across it.
Start off slowly and brake gently on
slopes. Keep the clutch engaged
and proceed slowly when driving
downhill. Do not use any heavy
accessory equipment, e.g. grass
catcher attachment, transport
trailer or garden rollers, on slopes
which have a gradient of more
than 9%.
Do not mow lawns which have
grass blades longer than 25 cm.
Operate this mower only in daylight
or good artificial light.
The mower is not licensed for
transporting people. Do not carry
passengers.
Before carrying out any work
on the mower
Protect yourself against injury.
Before carrying out any work on the
mower
– switch off the engine,
– withdraw the ignition key,
– lock the parking brake.
– wait until all moving parts have
come to rest and the engine has
fully cooled,
– pull off the cap of the spark plug
so that the engine cannot
inadvertently start.
After you have finished using
the mower
Do not leave the mower unatten-
ded until you have turned off the
engine, applied the parking brake
and removed the ignition key.
Safety devices
The safety devices are provided for
your protection and must be kept in
perfect working order.
You must not modify safety devices
in any way or bypass their function.
Safety features are:
Discharge flap
Fig. 18
The grass flap protects you against
possible injuries resulting from the
cutting blade or objects that are
propelled by it. The unit may only
be operated with the grass flap
attached.
Safety interlock system
The safety interlock system will
only allow the engine to start when
– the driver is sitting on the seat,
– the brake pedal has been
depressed or the parking brake is
in the park position,
– the PTO switch is at the „Off“
position.
The safety interlock system
automatically switches the engine
off as soon as the operator leaves
the seat without actuating the
parking brake beforehand.
The safety interlock system
automatically switches the cutter
deck (PTO) off as soon as the
operator leaves the seat without
actuating the parking brake
beforehand.
If units do not feature the OCR
function or if the OCR function is
deactivated, the safety interlock
system will prevent reversing while
the cutter deck is switched on
(automatic disconnection of the
cutter deck).
Information on PTO switch
When the safety lock system has
automatically switched OFF the
appliance (e.g. when reversing with
activated cutters), first switch ON
and then OFF the PTO switch to
release the lock on the clutch.
