• Take great care when changing direction on a
slope.
• Do not mow slopes with a gradient of more than
15°.
• Take great care when reversing or when pulling
the lawnmower towards yourself.
• Shut off the engine if the lawnmower has to be
tilted during transport on surfaces other than
grass, and when the lawnmower is being trans-
ported to and from the area to be mowed.
• Never operate the lawnmower with insufficient
protection or without safety devices in place,
e.g. a grass collector.
• Start the engine carefully, following the instruc-
tions. Keep your feet away from the blades.
• Do not tilt the mower when the engine is start-
ed, apart from when the mower has to be tilted
when starting. If this is the case, it should not be
tilted more than necessary, and the part that is
furthest away from the operator should be tilted.
• Keep your hands and feet away from the rotat-
ing blade and other rotating parts. If there is an
ejector opening, never insert your hand into it.
• The blade bar continues to rotate for a short
while after the starter handle has been released.
• If the machine is equipped with a grass ejector,
this should always be kept free of branches,
rubbish, etc.
• Never lift or carry the lawnmower while the en-
gine is running.
Shut off the engine and pull out the plug:
• When you leave the lawnmower.
• To remove sticks and rubbish or when the dis-
charge has become clogged.
• To check, clean or service the machine.
• When you have driven over a foreign object and
want to check whether there is any damage as well
as carry out repairs before restarting the mower.
• To check the machine if it begins to vibrate ex-
cessively. (Check immediately).
• Always ensure that the lead is kept well away
from the blade. If the lead is damaged during
mowing, stop the machine immediately and un-
plug the lead from the wall socket before check-
ing the lead. A damaged lead should be repaired
by a qualified electrician or replaced.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Check that all nuts and screws are tightened so
that the machine is in safe working condition.
• If the machine is equipped with a grass collec-
tor, check frequently for wear and damage to
the grass collector.
• For the sake of safety, replace worn or damaged
parts.
• Thoroughly clean the mower and store it in-
doors in a dry place. The machine must not be
rinsed with water.
• Store the machine so that children cannot get to
it.
ENVIRONMENT
For environmental reasons, we recommend that
particular attention is given to the following
points:
• When your machine has to be replaced after
many years of service or is no longer required,
we recommend that it is handed in to your deal-
er for recycling.
