When you start the motor, 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. In case of machines with side dejection, do not start the
motor in standing in front of the ejection channel.
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 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 engine off, and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill, and that the spark
plug key, if fitted, has been removed:
– if you have to lift or tilt the lawnmower, e.g. in order to transport it,
– when transporting the machine to and from the lawn
– when moving the machine off the lawn area;
– if the machine is left unattended for a few minutes;
– when adjusting the cutting height;
– before removing the collector bag;
– before the mulch stopper is removed;
– before you re-fill the tank.
• If the engine is equipped with a petrol shut-off valve, this should be closed after mowing.
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 or mulch stopper removed when the engine 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 mowing, always check the grass collecting equipment for wear or loss of functionality.
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.
• 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.
