When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if
necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the
cutting tool is pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far
as absolutely necessary. For as long as the equipment has not been
lowered to the ground again, both your hands must be on the top part of
the bar.
Do not start the engine when persons or animals are standing in front of
the mower.
When using equipment with a side ejector, do not start the engine when
you are standing in front of the ejector channel or other people/animals
are located in the ejection area.
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. Always
maintain a safe distance from the ejector opening.
Stop the engine by releasing the motor stop bar, disconnect the spark-plug
connector, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill and the ignition key, if there is one, has been removed:
– if you intend to leave the machine;
– before you inspect, clean or carry out work on the machine;
– before unblocking jams or removing blockages in the ejection
channel;
– if a foreign body has been encountered.
– when 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 the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises,
please have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.
Heavy vibrations on your hands can damage your health. Please contact an
authorised workshop immediately if heavy vibrations occur.
• WARNING
The noise and vibration levels shown in these operating instructions are the
maximum levels for use of the machine.
The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and
vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate
possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks while
working.
Adhere to the maintenance work listed in this operating manual and have the
equipment checked and serviced regularly by an authorised workshop.
Stop the engine by releasing the motor stop bar, make sure that all moving
parts have come to a complete standstill and the ignition key, if there is
one, has been removed,
– if you have to lift or tilt the mower e.g. for transport purposes;
– when you need to transport the machine to and from the area to be
mowed;
– when driving off the lawn;
– if you have to leave the machine for a short time;
– when you wish to adjust the cutting height;
– before you fill it with fuel. Only refill when the engine is cold!
• If the engine is equipped with a petrol shut-off valve, this should be closed
after mowing.
Maintenance and storage
• Insufficient equipment maintenance will lead to safety-related faults.
• Ensure that all screws have been tightened securely and that the machine
is in a safe working condition.
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 avoid a fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler (exhaust) and fuel tank free of
grass, leaves or escaping oil (grease).
When tilting the machine upwards or placing it on its side, make sure no oil or
petrol escapes. Fire hazard!
Allow the engine to cool down before you store the machine in closed rooms.
Do not store the machine near open flames or sources of fire such as boilers or
heating systems.
Before you start mowing, always check the condition and firm attachment
of the cutting blade. The blade attachment screw must always be tightened
by an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is too tight or too loose, the
blade coupling and cutter bar can become damaged or loose which can
lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must always be
replaced.
Changing, regrinding and balancing the cutting blade must be carried out
by an authorised professional workshop.
A wrongly assembled cutting blade coupling can allow the cutting blade
bar to get loose and cause severe injuries.
An improperly ground and imbalanced cutting blade can cause strong
vibrations and damage the lawn mower.
• For reasons of safety, always replace worn or damaged parts.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and
cleaning work.
• When handling operating fluids, such as engine oil and fuel, suitable protective
equipment (e.g. suitable protective gloves) must be worn.
The data sheets of the operating fluids must be observed.
Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level surfaces
with the engine switched off and the spark plug connector disconnected.
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top performance.
• Never remove the spark plug connector when the motor is running! Risk: Electric
shock.
• Disconnect the spark plug connector only when the engine has cooled down.
Danger of burns!
• Make sure that the spark plug connector is firmly seated! Risk: Electric shock.
• If the tank has to be emptied, this should be done in the open, and with a
cold engine. Take care to ensure that no fuel is spilt.
For reasons of warranty and safety, only genuine spare parts may be used.
Non-equivalent spare parts can damage the machine and are a safety hazard.
