than grass are to be crossed and when you are
transporting the lawnmower to and from the area
you wish to mow turn off the engine and wait until
the cutting tools have come to a stil stand.
– Never lift or carry the lawnmower when the
engine is running.
– Never use the lawnmower if the safety devices are
missing or defective, e.g. the safe guard, baffle
plate and/or grass gathering equipment. Only
use a grass gathering attachment if its proper
assembly ans its condition can be checked, or if
the grass ejection flap is shut and positioned close
to the lawnmower.
– Do not change the base settings of the engine.
– When you start the machine, make sure that your
feet are a sufficiently safe distance away from the
cutting blades.
– When you start the engine, the machine must not
be lying on its side or in a slanting position,
but, must only be slanted to such a degree if
necessary, that the cutting tools are pointing
away from the person using the machine.
– Never put your hands or feet near or under
moving parts. Always make sure that your hands
or feet do not get under the housing.
– Turn the engine off and remove the spark plug
socket:
– before you check, clean or perform any work
on the lawnmower,
– before you remove any blockages or any items
clogging up the ejection chute.
If the lawnmower becomes blocked, e.g. gy driving
onto a obstacle, an expert must check whether
parts of the lawnmower have been damaged or
deformed.
If the lawnmower starts to vibrate more than usual,
it must be checked immediately.
– The engine must be switched off:
– if you have to lift or tilt the lawnmower, e.g. in
order to transport it,
– if you are driving it outside a grassy area;
– if you are going to leave the machine
unattended for a few minutes;
– if you wish to change the cutting height;
– before you re-fill the tank.
Maintenance and storage
– Please ensure that all screws have been tightened
securely.
– The ejection flap, the safety attachments and the
grass collection sack may only be opened or
removed when the engine is turned off.
– Never store a lawnmower which still has petrol in
it, inside a building where petrol fumes could pos-
sibly come into contact with open fire or sparks or
where they could ignite.
– Always allow the engine to cool down before
you store the lawnmower in a closed room.
– In order to prevent a fire, please keep grass, leaves
or leaking grease (oil) away from the engine,
sound isulation, battery box and petrol tank.
– Only fill the tank in the open and when the
engine is cold. Smoking and naked flames
are nor allowed whilst tanking.
– The petrol must be filled into the tank before
the engine is started. Whilst the engine is
running or if the machine is hot, the lid of the
petrol tank must not be opened, nor may the
tank be filled whith more petrol.
– If petrol has overflowed, you must not attempt
to start the motor. Instead, the lawnmower
must be removed from the area contaminat-
ed with petrol, and the petrol which has over-
flowed must be wiped off the engine. Any
attempt to start the engine must be avoided
until the petrol fumes have evaporated.
– For safety reasons, the petrol tank on the
lawnmower and the petrol container must be
closed again carefully.
– If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank, lid
of the petrol tank and the silencer must be ex-
changed.
– Before you use the lawnmower, a visual check
must always be carried out to check whether
cutting blades, attachment screws and the
entire cutting unit is worn down or damaged.
In order to avoid a balance error, worn or
damaged blades and attachments screws
must be exchanged.
Handling
– The internal combustion engine must never be
running in enclosed rooms in which dangerous
exhaust fumes can build up, danger of poisoning.
– People with heart pace makers must not touch
any parts of the engine which might be live.
– The engine/exhaust gets very hot: Do not touch!!
– Please only use the type of fuel stated in the ope-
rating instructions.
– The engine brake is required by law for safety
technical reasons.
– Only mow during daylight or if the lighting is good.
– Always make sure that you are standing securely
whilst mowing slopes.
– Always push the machine at walking pace.
– Always mow at right angles to the slope, never
mow straight up or down.
– Please be especially careful when you change
direction when mowing on a slope.
– Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
– Please be especially careful when you are turning
the lawnmower or you are pulling it towards yours-
elf.
– If you walk backwards whilst mowing, you can
easily stumble. Hence avoid waling backwards.
– Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you
are standing securely and keep your balance at
all times.
– Always remain at that distance to the mower which
is maintained by the handle bar of the lawn mower.
– If the lawnmower is to be lifted in order to trans-
port it, or areas covered with something other
