Be careful when driving on slopes. No sudden  
starting or stopping when moving up or down a  
slope.  
Release the clutch pedal slowly. Always drive  
with the gear engaged, and do not disengage  
when driving down slopes.  
Never cut across a slope. Move from the top  
down, and from the bottom to the top.  
Use low acceleration when engaging the drive,  
especially in long grass. Reduce the speed on  
slopes and when making sharp turns to prevent  
the machine from tipping over or you losing  
control of the machine.  
Only use accessories that are approved by the  
machine’s manufacturer.  
The machine may not be used without  
accessories/tools being installed in the  
machine’s tool mounts. Driving without  
accessories can have a negative effect on the  
stability of the machine.  
Take care when using grass collectors and other  
accessories. These can alter the machine’s  
stability. Particularly on slopes.  
Disengage the drive to the accessories, shut off  
the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable  
or remove the starter key:  
Watch out for holes in the ground and other  
hidden dangers.  
Do not drive too near ditches or high edges.  
The machine can turn over if a wheel drives  
over the edge or the edge breaks.  
Take care when towing and when using heavy  
equipment.  
a. Only use an approved towing device.  
b. Limit the load so that it can be controlled  
safely.  
c. Do not make any sudden turns. Take care  
when reversing.  
d. Use wheel weights or front weight when  
recommended in the user instructions.  
Look out for traffic at crossings or when driving  
near roads.  
Stop the blade(s) when crossing a surface other  
than grass during mowing.  
When using any of the accessories, never direct  
the discharge at somebody standing beside it,  
and do not allow anyone to stand near the  
machine when it is running.  
Never operate the machine with insufficient  
protection or without the safety devices in  
place.  
Existing safety devices may not be  
disconnected or disengaged. Check that the  
safety devices work each time before using the  
machine.  
Do not alter the engine’s regulator setting and do  
not race the engine. The danger of personal injury  
increases when the engine is run at high revs.  
Do not touch engine components which become  
warm during use. Risk of burn injuries.  
Do not leave the driving seat without:  
a. Disengaging the power take-off and lowering  
the accessories.  
a. To remove sticks and rubbish or when the  
discharge has become clogged.  
b. To check, clean or service the machine.  
c. To check whether damage has occurred and  
to carry out any repairs before starting and  
using the machine again after a collision with a  
foreign object.  
d. To check the machine if it begins to vibrate  
excessively. (Check immediately).  
Disengage the drive to accessories during  
transport or when the machine is not in use.  
Shut off the engine and disconnect the drive to  
the accessories:  
a. Before filling with petrol.  
b. Before removing the grass collector.  
c. Before adjusting the height setting, assuming  
this cannot be done from the driver’s position.  
Reduce the acceleration when the engine is to  
be stopped, and if the engine is equipped with a  
fuel shut-off valve, this should be switched off  
when the work is finished.  
Take care with multiple blade decks as one  
rotating blade can cause other blades to rotate.  
The machine, equipped with original  
accessories, must not be driven in any direction  
on slopes with a gradient greater than 10º.  
The cutting deck’s original blade(s) may not be  
replaced with non-original devices intended for  
e.g. moss scarification. If such devices are used,  
the guarantee will cease to be valid. There is  
also a risk of serious injury or damage to people  
or property.  
Take care when unloading and loading the  
machine onto a trailer or lorry.  
1.4 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
Tighten all nuts and screws so that the machine  
is in safe working condition.  
At regular intervals check that the cutting  
deck’s blade screw(s) are properly tightened.  
Regularly check the operation of the brakes. It

is important to maintain and repair the brakes if  
necessary.  
Never store the machine with petrol in the tank  
in buildings where the fumes can come into  
contact with open flames or sparks.  
2 STORAGE  
Empty the petrol tank. Start the engine and let it  
run until it stops.  
Replace the oil while the engine is still warm.  
Allow the engine to cool before placing the  
machine in a store.  
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine,  
silencer, battery and petrol tank free from grass,  
leaves and surplus oil.  
Check frequently whether there is any wear or  
damage to the grass collector.  
For the sake of safety, replace worn or damaged  
parts.  
Always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine  
spare parts can entail a risk of injury, even if  
they fit the machine.  
Replace damaged warning and instruction  
stickers.  
If there is no mechanical lock for the transport  
position, the cutting deck must be lowered  
when parked, stored or when the machine is left  
unsupervised.  
If the petrol tank is to be emptied, this must take  
place outdoors.  
Unscrew the spark plug and pour a tablespoonful  
of oil into the cylinder. Rotate the engine a few  
turns to that the oil is distributed in the cylinder.  
Install the spark plug.  
Clean the entire machine. It is particularly  
important to clean under the cutting deck. Touch  
up paint damage to prevent rust.  
Store the machine indoors in a dry place.  
Machines with an electric starter:  
Remove the battery. Store it well charged in a cool  
place (between 0°C and +15°C).  
At the correct storage temperature, the battery  
should be maintenance-charged every four  
months.  
The battery acid is extremely corrosive  
and can cause injuries and damage to  
skin and clothing. Always use rubber  
gloves and glasses (goggles) to protect  
your eyes. Avoid inhaling any acid  
vapour.  
Do not incline the battery too much so  
that the battery acid can run out onto  
hands or clothing. If this should  
Store the machine so that children cannot get to it.  
The battery contains acid. In the event of  
mechanical damage or overcharging, acid can  
leak out.  
happen, rinse with plenty of water.  
Never overcharge the battery. Overcharging can  
cause the battery to explode, throwing the acid  
in all directions.  
If acid comes into contact with the eyes or skin,  
this can cause serious injuries. If any part of the  
body has come into contact with acid, rinse  
immediately with copious amounts of water and  
seek medical assistance as soon as possible.  
Fumes from acid that are inhaled cause damage  
to mucous membranes and other internal  
organs. Seek medical assistance if acid fumes  
have been inhaled.  
Acid causes serious damage to tools, clothes  
and other material. Rinse away spilled acid  
immediately with water.  
Do not short circuit the battery’s terminals.  
Sparks occur which can result in fire. Do not  
wear metal jewellery which can come into  
contact with the battery terminals.  
In the event of damage to the battery casing,  
cover, terminals or interference to the strip  
covering the valves, the battery should be  
replaced.

mower safely enough to protect themselves  
and others from serious injury.  
Safe Practice for Ride-On Mowers  
(ANSI B71.1 - 2003)  
This cutting machine is capable of amputating  
hands and feet and throwing objects. Failure to  
observe the following safety instructions could  
result in serious injury or death.  
19. Follow the manufacturer´s recommendation  
for wheel weights or counterweights.  
1.1 General operation  
1. Read, understand, and follow all instructions  
on the machine and the manual(s) before  
starting.  
2. Do not put hands or feet near the rotationg parts  
or under the machine. Keep clear of the  
discharge opening at all times.  
3. Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar  
with the instructions, to operate this machine.  
4. Clear the area of objects such as rocks, wire,  
toys, etc., wich could be thrown by the  
blade(s).  
1.2 Slope operation  
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control  
and tip-over accidents, wich can result in severe  
injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires  
extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if  
you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.  
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.  
2. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other  
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn  
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.  
3. Choose a low ground speed so you will not  
have to stop or shift while on a slope.  
4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose  
traction.  
5. Always keep the machine in gear when going  
down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast  
downhill.  
6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning an a slope.  
If the tires lose traction, disengage the blade(s)  
and proceed slowly straight down the slope.  
7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and  
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed  
or direction, wich could cause the machine to  
roll over.  
8. Use extra care while operating machine with  
grass catchers or other attachments; they can  
affect the stability of the machine. Do not use  
on steep slopes.  
9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting  
your foot in the ground.  
5. Be sure the area is clear of bystanders before  
operating. Stop the machine if anyone enters  
the area.  
6. Never carry passengers.  
7. Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely  
necessary. Always look down and behind  
before and while backing.  
8. Never direct discharge material toward anyone.  
Avoid discharging material against a wall or  
obstruction. Material may rocochet back  
toward the operator. Stop the blade(s) when  
crossing gravel surfaces.  
9. Do not operate machine without the entire  
grass catcher, discharge guard, or other safety  
devices in place and working.  
10. Slow down before turning.  
11. Never leave a running machine unattended.  
Always turn off blade(s), set parking brake,  
stop engine and remove key before  
dismounting.  
12. Disengage blade(s) when not mowing. Shut off  
engine and wait for all parts to come to a  
complete stop before cleaning the machine,  
removing the grass catcher, or unclogging the  
discharge guard.  
13. Operate machine only in daylight or good  
artificial light.  
14. Do not operate machine while under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs.  
10. Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or  
embankments. The machine could suddenly  
roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the  
edge caves in.  
1.3 Children  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not  
alert to the presence of children. Children are often  
attracted to the machine and mowing activity.  
Never assume that children will remain where you  
last saw them.  
15. Watch for traffic when operating near or  
crossing roadways.  
16. Use extra care when loading or unloading the  
machine into a trailer or truck.  
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and in  
the watchful care of a responsible adult other  
than the operator.  
2. Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters  
the area.

this is not possible, then refuel such equipment  
with a portable container, rather than from a  
gasoline dispenser nozzle.  
8. Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the  
fuel tank or container opening at all times until  
the fueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle  
lock-open device.
