machine.
• Before use, all drivers must apply for and
receive practical training in the operation of the
machine. Particular emphasis should be placed
on the fact that:
a. The use of ride-on lawnmowers requires care
and concentration.
b. On slopes, it is not possible to control a
sliding ride-on lawnmower by braking. The
main reasons for losing control are insufficient
traction, excessively high speed, insufficient
braking, the machine not being suited to the

before starting the engine.
• Never have your hands or feet near or under
rotating parts. Watch out for the blades. Do not
stand right in front of the discharge opening.
• Avoid using the machine on wet lawns.
• 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.
• 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.
b. Putting the gear in neutral and activating the
parking brake.
c. Stopping the engine and removing the key.
• 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:
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

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.
2.4 Maintenance and storage
• Tighten all nuts and screws so that the machine
is in safe working condition.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
2.5 Storage procedure
Empty the petrol tank. Start the engine and let it
run until it stops.
Replace the oil while the engine is still warm.

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 hap
