– Petrol is highly inflammable and explosive. Fire and explosions can cause severe injury and material damage. – Only store petrol in a suitable container, and out of reach of children. – Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling up with fuel. – Only fill the tank in the open and when the engine is cold. No smoking and no naked flames while filling the tank. – Fuel-operated devices, which are positioned on a load floor or a trailer, must not be refuelled from a filling pump. Instead, these must be refuelled by a fuel container. – The petrol must be filled into the tank before starting the engine. – Whilst the engine is running or if the machine is hot, the petrol tank cap must not be opened, nor may the tank be filled with more petrol. – If petrol has overflowed, you must not attempt to start the engine. Instead, remove the device from the area contaminated with petrol, and wipe the overflowed fuel off the engine. Avoid any attempt to start the engine until the petrol fumes have evaporated. – For safety reasons, the petrol tank and the petrol container must be closed again carefully. – If any damage has occurred, the petrol tank and tank cap must be replaced.

• Do not operate the equipment when you are sick, tired or under the influence of alcohol, medicine or drugs. Pos: 13.8.16 /Inne nteil/Sicherhe itsvorschriften/Ha ndhabung/na sses Gras ... @ 0\m od_1115125344 421_6.docx @ 18 3 @ @ 1

• Do not mow excessively steep slopes! Mowing slopes always comes with additional risks. Your lawn mower is powerful enough to mow on slopes with a gradient of up to 46% (25° angle). For safety reasons, however, we urgently recommend you to not exploit this theoretical performance potential. Always make sure you have a firm stance. Walk-behind lawn mowers should never be used for slopes with a gradient in excess of 26% (15° angle of slope). Stability may be lost.

– Engine stop safety control bar (1) The lawn mower is fitted with an engine stop device. During operation and in the event of a hazard, the engine is switched off by releasing the engine stop bar. The combustion engine and the blade must come to a standstill within 3 seconds. After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the “Description of components” diagram. If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop. Risk of injury!5 If the stopping time of the blade is longer, stop using the device and take it to an authorised workshop. Measuring the stopping time After starting the combustion engine, the blade rotates and a wind noise can be heard. The stopping time corresponds to the duration of the wind noise after the combustion engine has been switched off; it can be measured with a stopwatch. The function of the safety control bar must never be put out of operation. It is important to make sure that the safety control bar functions correctly. If this is not the case, have it repaired by an authorised specialist workshop.

– Housing, splash guard (10) These protective devices protect against injuries from objects that are thrown upwards. The device must not be operated with a damaged housing or without correctly attached splash guard.

– Housing This protective device protects against injuries through contact with the rotating cutter bar. The device must not be operated with a damaged housing. Ensure that your hands and feet do not get under the housing.

– Belt drive covers (9), engine covers (5) These protective devices protect against injuries through moving parts. The device must not be operated with damaged covers or without correctly attached covers.

– Exhaust protection grill (8) The engine/exhaust becomes very hot. The protection grill protects the user against burns. Do not operate the device without the exhaust protection grill.

When you start the machine, make sure that your feet are at a sufficiently safe distance away from the cutting tool.

When the engine is started, the machine must not be tilted on end, if necessary it must be tilted by pressing the guide bar down so that the cutting tool is pointing in the direction away from the user, but only as far as absolutely necessary. As long as the device has not been lowered to the ground again, both of your hands must be on the top part of the bar. Do not start the engine when people or animals are standing in front of the mower. For devices with side ejection, do not start the engine when you are standing in front of the ejection channel or there are other people or animals in the ejection area.

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. For devices with lateral ejection, always stay away from the ejection opening.

Stop the engine by releasing the engine stop bar, disconnect the plug connector, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill and the ignition key, if there is one, has been removed: – if you intend to leave the machine; – before you inspect, clean or carry out work on the machine; – before unblocking jams or removing blockages in the ejection channel; – if a foreign body has been encountered. – when 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, an authorised workshop must check whether parts of the device have been damaged or deformed. Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too.

Before using the machine, always check the condition and firm seating of the blade. The blade fastening screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is tightened excessively or insufficiently, blade coupling and cutter bar may be damaged or get loose, which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must imperatively be replaced.

The replacement, regrinding and balancing of the blade must be carried out by an authorised workshop. Due to an incorrectly assembled blade coupling, the cutter bar may become loose, which can lead to serious injuries. An incorrectly ground and unbalanced blade can cause strong vibrations and damage the lawn mower.

Protective gloves must be worn at all times during maintenance and cleaning work.

Maintenance and cleaning work may only be carried out on level surfaces with the engine switched off and the spark plug connector disconnected. Regular maintenance is essential for safety and top performance.

Before every mowing job, make sure that the engine stop safety control bar is working perfectly. When the control bar is released, engine and cutter bar must come to a standstill within three seconds. After release, the bar must always return to the position shown in the “Description of components” diagram. If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop. Risk of injury! If the stopping time of the blade is longer, stop using the device and take it to an authorised workshop. Measuring the stopping time After starting the combustion engine, the blade rotates and a wind noise can be heard. The stopping time corresponds to the duration of the wind noise after the combustion engine has been switched off; it can be measured with a stopwatch. Machine safety and protective devices must not be manipulated or disabled. The correct operation of the autodrive control bar must also be checked before each mowing job. When the autodrive control bar is released, the machine must come to an immediate standstill. If this is not the case, it must be checked immediately by an authorised workshop. Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly and are not damaged. To avoid any risk, always check the condition and firm seating of the blade before each mowing job. The blade fastening screw must always be tightened by an authorised workshop. If the blade screw is tightened excessively or insufficiently, blade coupling and cutter bar may be damaged or get loose, which can lead to serious injuries. A worn or damaged blade must imperatively be replaced. (See chapter “Maintenance of the cutter bar”). Check the blade coupling for wear and a tight fit every 10 operating hours. Also check device screws and nuts for a firm fit and re-tighten, if necessary. Make sure the spark plug connector is fitted tightly. Risk of electric shock. Never remove the plug connector with the engine running. Risk of electric shock. Only remove the plug connector if the engine has cooled down. Risk of burns. If the mower becomes blocked e.g. by colliding with an obstacle, have an authorised workshop check whether any parts of the mower are damaged or deformed. Always have any necessary repairs done by an authorised workshop too. If the machine starts to vibrate unusually heavily or to make unusual noises, please have it checked immediately by an authorised workshop.

This mulch knife straightens the stalks of grass9 and cuts the stalks into very short pieces, which are then evenly distributed over the lawn. The grass sections can now dry out and rot more quickly, thus promoting humus formation. In this way, the soil is fertilised in a natural manner and also protected from drying out. The collection and disposal of the cut material is no longer necessary. The mulching concept thus substantially supports the ecological cycle.

In one pass, a maximum of 1/3 of the grass height is cut down. If a positive result is not achieved, it may be necessary to mulch two times in succession. Depending on the type of lawn and the intensity of growth, the lawn should be mown at regular intervals. Especially during strong growth phases, mulching requires more frequent mowing than the traditional collection as otherwise this “one third” rule is difficult to adhere to. In order to achieve an optimal mulching result, you should reduce the speed of the machine when mulching compared to traditional mowing, to give the grass time to stay longer in the mower and to be thus cut several times. The best cut pattern and result is achieved on a dry lawn, as wet lawn quickly sticks and clumps due to the short grass sections. These lumps of grass rot and get mouldy and hinder the desired ecological cycle. If, nevertheless, the lawn must be mowed when it is very damp or wet, the grass sections must be shorter, i.e. the cutting height must be set 1-2 steps higher than for a dry lawn. You will notice that observing these simple rules, you will get a healthy lawn and the green waste disposal is no longer necessary. 15 SERVICE INTERVALS Pos: 21.3 /Innente il/Wartungsin tervalle/Wartung sintervalle Wichtig @ 19\mod_134 6242607856_6.do cx @ 14877 2 @ @ 1 IMPORTANT Avoid damage!
