Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the information is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions. The following must not use the machine: Children, persons with impaired physical, sensory or mental faculties or those lacking the appropriate experience, or persons who are not familiar with the instructions, must never be allowed to use the ma- chine. Never allow children under the age of 16 to use the machine. Local regulations may specify a minimum age for users. The machine must only be operated by persons who are well rested and in good physical and mental con- dition. If your health is impaired, you should consult your doctor to determine whether working with the machine is possible. The machine should not be operated after the consumption of alcohol, drugs or medications which impair reactions. mSafety of personnel Caution! Danger to health due to vibrations. Excessive exposure to vibrations can result in dam- age to the cardiovascular or nervous system, particu- larly in persons with cardiovascular problems. Please consult a physician if you experience symptoms that may have been caused by vibrational loads. Symptoms of this kind principally aect the ngers, hands or wrists and include
- skin discolouration,
- unpleasant tingling sensation. Hold the handlebar tightly, but not tensed, with both hands in the designated locations during operation. Plan your working times so that more severe physical strains over a longer period are avoided. Warning! This electric tool generates an electromag- netic eld during operation. This eld can impair ac- tive or passive medical implants under certain condi- tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manu- facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool. Clothing and equipment Always wear sturdy footwear with high-grip soles when working. Never work barefoot or, for example, in sandals. Always wear long trousers and tight-tting clothing when operating the machine. Never wear loose clothes which may become caught on moving parts (control levers) – do not wear jewel- lery, ties or scarves. Also always wear sturdy gloves and tie up and se- cure long hair (headscarf, cap, etc.) when performing maintenance and cleaning work or when transporting the machine. Wear suitable safety glasses when sharpening the mowing blade. Working with your machine Never work in the vicinity of other persons, particular- ly children, or animals. Ensure that the grass is never discharged in the direction of other persons. Do not operate the machine in the rain or during thun- der storms, particularly when there is a risk of light- ning strike. Exhaust gases: Danger to life through poisoning! In the case of nausea, headache, impaired vision (e.g. decreasing eld of view) hearing disorder, dizzi- ness, decreasing power of concentration, stop work- ing immediately. These symptoms may be caused by excessively high exhaust gas concentrations. The machine generates poisonous exhaust gases when the engine is running. The gases contain poi- sonous carbon monoxide, a colourless and odourless gas, as well as other pollutants. The engine must nev- er be operated in closed or poorly ventilated spaces.www.scheppach.com
The engine exhaust is released into the air in front of the left rear wheel. When working with the machine, ensure that this area is always kept clean and is never covered in order to prevent the accumulation of ex- haust gasses. mWorkplace safety Carefully inspect the complete area on which the ma- chine is to be used and remove any stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects which could be thrown up by the machine. Obstacles (e.g. tree stumps, roots) can be easily overlooked in long grass. For this reason, mark all foreign objects (obstacles) which are hidden in the lawn and cannot be removed before commencing work with the machine. Beware of depressions (holes) in the terrain and oth- er invisible points of danger. Obstacles can be easily overlooked in long grass. Use the machine with great care when working near slopes, terraces, ditches and embankments. In par- ticular, ensure that you maintain sucient distance to such danger areas. Particular care must be taken at points of poor visibil- ity, bushes, trees and other obstacles, behind which persons, especially children, or animals may be hid- den. Bring the ride-on mower to a standstill immediately and stop the mowing blade if someone moves into the area to be mown. Always monitor the area in front of the vehicle. Be- ware of obstacles, in order to be able to evade them in time. Before reversing, always check the area behind the ride-on mower and, if present, disengage the attach- ment. Never mow in reverse, if it is not absolutely necessary. When mowing in reverse, take particular care and before beginning to mow, thoroughly check the entire area behind the ride-on mower. When working together in a group, always inform the others in advance of what you intend to do. Maintain a safety distance! The vehicle speed must be reduced before each change of direction, so that the user retains control of the machine at all times and also that the ride-on mower cannot tip over. When operating near to roads and when crossing roads, other road users must be taken into account. Take particular care when mowing near roads, cycle paths and footpaths. Objects which are thrown up by the mower can cause severe injury and damage. mHandling petrol m Danger to life! Petrol is poisonous and ex- tremely inammable. Petrol must only be stored in appropriate, tested con- tainers (canisters). Always screw on the fuel tank and canister caps properly and tightly. Defective caps must be replaced for safety reasons. Keep petrol away from sparks, naked ames, pilot lights, heat sources, and other ignition sources. Do not smoke! Rell the tank out-of-doors and do not smoke during relling. Before relling the tank, stop the engine and allow it to cool. Relling with petrol must be performed before the en- gine is started. When the engine is running or is hot, the tank cap must not be removed and the tank must not be relled with petrol. Open the fuel tank cap slowly and carefully. Wait for pressure compensation and only then remove the tank cap completely. Use a suitable funnel or lling pipe for relling the tank, so that no fuel can spill onto the engine and housing or the lawn. Do not overll the fuel tank! To give the fuel room to expand, never ll the fuel tank past the lower edge of the ller neck. Observe the ad- ditional instructions in the engine instruction manual. If petrol is spilled, the engine must only be started af- ter the petrolcontaminated area has been cleaned. All attempts at starting must be avoided until the petrol fumes have dispersed (wipe dry). Any spilt fuel must be wiped up immediately. Clothing must be changed if it comes into contact with petrol. Following each relling of the tank, the fuel tank cap must be properly screwed on and tightened. The ma- chine must not be operated without the original tank cap.www.scheppach.com
For safety reasons, the fuel line, fuel tank, tank cap and connections must be checked regularly for dam- age, ageing (brittleness), rm seating and leaks. Re- place if necessary. If it is necessary to drain the tank, this must be done out of doors. Never use beverage bottles or similar for disposal or storage of fuels and lubricants. Persons, particularly children, could be tempted to drink out of them. Never store the machine with petrol in the tank inside a building. The resulting petrol fumes could come into contact with naked ames or sparks and could be ig- nited. Do not leave the machine and the fuel tank close to heating systems, radiant heaters, welding equipment and other sources of heat. Explosive hazard! If, during operation, a defect in the tank, tank cap or in the fuel-carrying components (fuel lines) is detected, the engine must be stopped immediately. A specialist dealer must then be contacted. Battery safety In order to prevent sparks due to short circuiting, the negative (–) cable must always be disconnected from the battery rst and reconnected last. Never smoke when working on the battery. Sparks, naked ames and other heat sources must be kept away from the battery. Particular care is necessary when using battery jump leads. Observe the relevant instructions in order to prevent damage to the ride-on mower (in particular, actuate the starter for a maximum of 10 seconds). Never open the battery and do not drop it. Always charge the battery in an enclosed, well-venti- lated room which is dry and weather-protected. Do not short circuit the battery connections. Deformed or faulty (leaking) batteries must not be used and must be replaced and disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner. Observe country- specic legislation. Fluid may escape from faulty batteries. Avoid con- tact! In the case of inadvertent contact, rinse with water. Seek medical attention if the uid contacts the eyes. Escaping battery uid can cause skin irritation and burns. Visually inspect the battery connection cables for damage at regular intervals. Have damaged cables replaced by a technician. Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a val- ue that diers from the specied rating (ampere). mSafety information for ride-on mowers Starting: The machine must only be started from the driver‘s seat. Start the machine on level ground, not on a slope. The engine may only be started in a well ventilated working area, sucient ventilation must be ensured, particularly in garages. Before starting the engine, disengage the cutting tool, attachments and drive and press down the brake pedal fully. When starting, it must be ensured that there is su- cient clearance between the feet and the cutting tool. Do not start the motor is you are standing in front of the ejector chute. Never lift or carry a lawnmower while the motor is running. Operating the machine with excessive speed can in- crease the risk of accidents. Never start the engine by short-circuiting the starter terminal. If the normal starter circuit is bypassed, the ride-on mower may suddenly be set in motion. Never start the engine if the smell of petrol can be detected – Explosive hazard! Working: m Warning – Risk of injury! Observe the working area of the mowing blade. Nev- er put hands or feet on or underneath rotating parts. Never touch the rotating mowing blade. Always keep away from the discharge opening. An adequate safe- ty distance must always be maintained. Only work during the day or with good articial light. When driving o the lawn or when not mowing, the mowing blade must be disengaged and the mowing deck must be set to the highest cutting position.www.scheppach.com
Objects hidden in the turf (lawn sprinkler systems, posts, water valves, foundations, electrical wires, etc.) must be avoided. Never run over any such for- eign objects. Always hold the steering wheel rmly with both hands when driving. Particular care must be taken when driving on lawns and other uneven surfaces, as the steering wheel can be made to turn due to holes, mounds, impacts, etc. Risk of injury to hands and ngers! Always drive at a reasonable speed. Only empty the grass catcher box from the driver‘s seat. Before emptying the grass catcher box, always dis- engage the mowing blade and wait until it has come to a standstill. Switch o the drive, stop the engine and wait until the mowing blade has come to a complete standstill, en- gage the parking brake and remove the ignition key:
- before remedying blockages, including those in the discharge chute,

We cannot give exact details about the duration of use in this case because it is dierent for each indi- vidual. The following factors can inuence the condition:
- Circulatory problems in the user’s hands
- Low outside temperatures
- Extended periods of use We therefore recommend you wear warm work gloves and take regular breaks.
Times of use Please comply with statutory regulations, which may vary from location to location. Make sure that you are familiar with the controls and operation of the machine. In particular, the user must know how the work tools and engine can be stopped quickly. The machine must only be used by persons who have read the instruction manual and are familiar with op- eration of the machine. The user should seek expert and practical instruction prior to initial operation. The user must receive instruction on safe use of the ma- chine from the vendor or another expert. During this instruction, the user should be made aware
- that the utmost care and concentration are required for working with the machine.
- that a ride-on mower which is sliding down a slope cannot be brought under control by applying the brake. The main causes for the loss of control over the ride- on mower include:
- inadequate adhesion of the wheels,
- inappropriate braking,
- incorrect use (sport events, etc.),
- inadequate knowledge of the eects associated with ground conditions, especially on slopes (see section „For your safety“, „Working on slopes“),
- incorrect attachment of loads and poor load distri- bution. Check the fuel system (particularly visible parts such as e.g. tank, tank cap, hose connections) before operating the machine. In the event of any leaks or damage, do not start the engine – re hazard! Have the machine repaired by a specialist dealer prior to operation. Defective and all other worn or damaged parts must be removed before using the machine. Replace any illegible or damaged danger signs and warnings on the machine. The screwed-on discharge port (discharge chute on mowing deck) must always be securely fastened to the mowing deck. It must not be damaged and, if nec- essary, it must be replaced by a technician. The braking function must be checked before each use. Before each use, check whether:
- the cutting tool and the entire cutting unit (mow- ing blade, blade clutch, blade brake, retaining pin, mowing deck housing) are in good condition. Par- ticularly check for secure fastening, damage and wear.
- the tank cap is securely attached.
- the tank and fuel-carrying parts, as well as the tank cap are in good condition.
- the safety devices are in good condition and func- tion correctly.
- the tyres (ination pressure, damage, wear) and frame are in good condition. Check that all screw connections are securely fastened. In particular, all maintenance operations listed in the maintenance schedule under the heading “Before each use” must be carried out. If necessary, consult a specialist dealer. Preparing the area to be mowed Before mowing, carefully examine the area. Remove stones, sticks, bones, wires, toys and other objects that may be ejected.www.scheppach.com

Tips for proper mowing Working on slopes: Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in which control over the ride-on mower is lost causing it to tip over, which can result in severe or even fatal injuries. There is no „safe“ slope! Driving on grassy slopes re- quires special concentration. For safety reasons, the machine must not be used on slopes with an inclina- tion of more than 10° (17.6 %). Risk of injury! A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical height increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal distance. Starting o or stopping on a gradient must be avoid- ed. Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches, etc.) where the ride-on mower can tip over or slide. The danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the ground is soft or damp. Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction. Driving transversely increases the danger of tipping over. Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driv- ing on slopes. Work in this type of situation requires calm, cautious and even operation of the ride-on mower. Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided. Only turn on slopes if this is unavoidable. If possible, drive slowly and in a large curve in the down-slope direction. Do not mow wet grass, particularly on slopes, as wheel grip is reduced on wet grass. The ride-on mow- er could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.

The gearbox must never be disengaged via the gear- box freewheel when driving on slopes. Special care must be taken when operating attach- ments on slopes (altered weight distribution of the machine). If the wheels start to slip or if the vehicle becomes stuck in the up-slope direction when driving on an in- cline, the mowing blade or the attachment must be disengaged. Then leave the slope by driving slowly downhill in a straight line. Never try to stabilise the ride-on mower by pressing on the ground with your foot. The weight of the grass catcher box increases the danger of the ride-on mower tipping over, particularly when it is full. Never empty or lift the grass catcher box on an in- cline. Stopping and parking: The ride-on mower must only be parked on a level surface. Make sure that the ride-on mower has come to a complete standstill before you dismount. Beware of the cutting tool running on for several sec- onds before coming to a standstill. Before leaving the driver’s seat, disengage the mow- ing blade or the drive to the attachments, lower the mowing deck and all attachments, set all control levers to the neutral position, engage the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the ignition key. Keep the ignition key in a place where only author- ised persons can access it. Tips for proper mowing:
- Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over anything that could damage the mower. The lawn mower could be damaged and/or the machine could inict bodily injury.
- A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts un- less the mower has been switched o for a while and you know that they have cooled down!
- Insucient daylight or even a sucient level of arti- cial light is one reason not to mow.
- Check the mower, the blade and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine vi- brates more than usual.
- Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched o. Pull the plug boot. (Fig. 33).
- Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one (trac). Always keep the grass chute pointed away from the street.
- Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other way.
- Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind you especially little children, who are more dicult to see.
- When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.
- Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch o the engine and pull the plug boot.
- Never remove any safety-related parts.
- Never ll the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running. Mowing Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn from turning yellow. Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. Insodoing, the mowing swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips. Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more dicult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine to bag the grass. Always mow along inclines (not up and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up the hill while mowing will prevent the mower from sliding out of the straight line. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it several times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are cut at one time. Switch o the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been switched o. Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object,immediately switch o the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are damaged. Empty the catch bucket (15) while seated (g. 36):
- Drive to the location where you would like to empty the catch bucket.
- Depress the brake pedal (8) completely.
- Shut o the mower (5).
- Lift the catch bucket (15) by the handle so that it empties.
- Lower the catch basket (15) againwww.scheppach.com
- Press the brake pedal (8) completely and activate the locking brake (6).
- Shut o the mower (5).
- Set the gas lever (12) to neutral “N”
- Disengage the catch basket (15) and empty it.
- Engage the catch basket (15) again. After mowing
- Always allow the motor to cool o before parking the lawnmower in an enclosed room.
- Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before stor- age. Do not store other objects on the mower.
- Check all screws and nuts before the next use. Tighten all loose screws.
- Empty the catch basket (15) before the next use.
- Remove the ignition key
- Make sure that the mower is not parked next to a source of danger. Escaping gas can cause explo- sions.
- Only original parts or parts approved by the manu- facturer may be used for repairs (see address on guarantee certicate).
- In case of longer idle periods of the mower, empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.
- Oil and service the device
9. Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance and repairs Before beginning cleaning, adjustment, repair and maintenance operations, park the machine on rm, level ground, engage the parking brake, stop the en- gine, allow it to cool down and remove the ignition key. Allow the machine to cool down before working on or around the engine, exhaust manifold or muer; this also applies in particular to all maintenance opera- tions on the mowing deck. Temperatures of 80 °C and above can be reached. Danger of burns! Direct contact with engine oil can be dangerous. En- gine oil must not be spilled. Cleaning: Following operation, the entire ride-on mower and the attachments must be cleaned. In particular, all grass residues must be removed because the moisture these contain leads to damage in the long term. SCHEPPACH does not recommend the use of high pressure cleaners. Clean the device with water as follows.
- Place the hose connection piece onto the water connection (4) of the mower and open the tap.
- Start the mower and switch o again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
- Turn o the tap and remove the hose connection .
- Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects). Note: Dirt and grass is easiest to remove immedi- ately after you have nished mowing the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing per- formance. Check that the grass chute is free of any residual grass. Remove any such residue. Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high- pressure cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaner or petroleum ether. Never drive close to an edge or a ditch for the purpose of cleaning (e.g. the frame of) the ride-on mower. In order to prevent re hazards, keep the engine, cooling ribs, battery compartment, area around the fuel tank and exhaust free from grass, leaves or es- caping oil (or grease). Always clean the grass catcher box. Maintenance operations: Only maintenance operations described in this in- struction manual may be carried out. Have all other work performed by a specialist dealer. If you do not have the necessary expertise or auxiliary equipment, please always contact a specialist dealer. We recommend: Have maintenance work and repairs completed by specialist dealers only. Only use tools, accessories or attachments approved for this machine by SCHEPPACH or technically iden- tical parts. Otherwise, there may be a risk of acci- dents resulting in personal injury or damage to the machine. If you have any questions, please consult a specialist dealer. The characteristics of original SCHEPPACH tools, accessories and spare parts are optimally adapted to the machine and the user‘s requirements. The ride-on mower and all attachments should be in- spected once annually by a specialist dealer.www.scheppach.com
m WARNING Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ig- nition unit with the engine running. Always pull the spark plug boot from the spark plug before starting any work of care or maintenance. Never perform any work on the machine while it is running. Any work not described in these Operating Instructions must be performed by an authorized service workshop only. Wheel axles and wheel hubs These should be lightly greased once a season. Blade For safety reasons you should only ever have your blade sharpened, balanced and mounted by an au- thorized service workshop. For optimum results it is recommended that the blade should be inspected once a year. Change the blade (Fig. 39 + 40) When changing the cutting tool, only use original re- placement parts. Wear gloves to avoid cut injuries while changing the blade. Never install another blade.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Remove the screw (C) to replace the blade (E).
- Install everything as described in g. 39. Fasten the screw correctly. The fastening torque in 65 Nm. Replace the screw C and washer D, as well, if you replace the knife. Checking the oil level m CAUTION! Never run the engine with no or too lit- tle oil. This could cause severe damage to the engine. Use only SAE30 engine oil. Check the oil level (Fig. 14):
- Position the lawnmower on a straight, level surface.
- Remove the ignition key (10)
- Unscrew buttons 12 and 2
- Remove the oil dipstick (21) by turning it to the left, then wipe o the dipstick.
- Screw in the dipstick up to the limit stop again in the lling nozzle.
- Pull out the dipstick and read the oil level horizon- tally. The oil level must be positioned between the max and min of the oil dipstick (21). Oil change (Fig. 32)
- The motor oil change should be completed annu- ally before the start of the season while the motor is at operating temperature and shut o.
- Only use motor oil (SAE 30). Always keep warning and information stickers clean and readable. Damaged or missing stickers must be replaced by new, original plates. If a component is replaced with a new component, ensure that the new component is provided with the same stickers. For safety reasons, fuel-carrying components (fuel line, fuel cock, fuel tank, tank cap, connections, etc.) must be checked regularly for damage and leaks and replaced by a technician if necessary. Before starting work on or near electrical compo- nents, the negative (–) cable must be disconnected from the battery. The machine is equipped with numerous safety de- vices. These devices must not be removed or modi- ed (bypassed, etc.) and must be checked at regular intervals. Operations on the safety devices must only be carried out by a technician. Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws, especially the blade fastening screw, are securely tightened, so that the machine is in a safe operating condition. For safety reasons, worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Check the grass catcher unit (e.g. grass catcher box, discharge chute) regularly for wear, damage or loss of functionality. Particular care is required when working under the machine, due to the weight of the ride-on mower. If necessary, contact a specialist dealer. Check the secure fastening of the front and rear wheels. Always maintain the ride-on mower and the attach- ments in perfect operating condition. All safety de- vices must be present and be in perfect operating condition. Ensure that the tyres have the correct tyre pressures. The tyre pressures specied in the instruction manu- al must not be exceeded. Only perform work on the cutting unit when wearing thick work gloves and exercising extreme care. Check the function of the brakes at regular, short in- tervals and, if necessary, have the required adjust- ments or maintenance operations performed by a technician.www.scheppach.com
- Position the lawnmower on a straight, level surface.
- Remove the ignition key (10)
- Unscrew buttons 12 and 2
- Remove the oil dipstick (21) by turning it to the left
- Use the included injector needle (g) and hose to extract motor oil through the lling nozzle.
- Fill with fresh motor oil and check the oil level Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations. Air lter maintenance (Fig. 35 + 36) Fouled air lters (20) diminish the motor performance due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential. The air lter should be checked every 25 operating hours and cleaned as required. The air lter must be checked more often in case of very dusty air.
- Fold the body up as described while checking the oil.
- Fold out the ejector chute. (Fig. 35)
- Take o the air lter cover (g. 36) and remove the air lter (A and B).
- Wash o the sponge lter (B) with water and dry it completely.
- Clean the paper lter (A) with compressed air only or by knocking them out. Important: Never clean the air lter with petrol or inammable cleaning agents. Clean the paper lter with compressed air or simply by knocking out any soiling. Maintenance of the spark plug (Fig. 33) Check the spark plug for dirt and grime after 10 hours of operation and if necessary clean it with a copper wire brush. Thereafter service the spark plug after every 50 hours of operation. Pull o the spark plug boot with a twist. Remove the spark plug (23) with a spark plug wrench. Using a feeler gauge, set the gap to 0.75 mm( 0.030”). Ret the spark plug (23)taking care not to overtighten. Replace fuse (Fig. 34)
- The electrical start is protected with a 10 A fuse.
- Never use another fuse or bypass the fuse. Charge the battery (Fig. 29) The battery is charged during operation. In any case, frequent starting may make it necessary to charge the battery with the included charging device (f):
- Plug the connector into the charging socket (7) and the charging device (f) into a plug socket. 230 V 50 Hz
- Charge the battery for min. 5 hours. Charge the battery with a car charging device (Fig. 30 + 31)
- You may also charge the battery with the included charging cable (m) on an industry-standard car charging device for 12 V lead batteries.
- Unplug the battery in this case (g. 15).
- Connect the included charging cable (m) to the bat- tery and connect the black cable with the - pole and the red cable with the + pole of the charging device (g. 30 + 31). Attention! Never exchange the + and - poles. Always store the lawnmower with a fully loaded bat- tery. Tyre pressure: Check the tyre pressure prior to starting! The correct tyre pressure is 1.8 bar in the front wheels and 1.3 bar in the rear wheels. Important: If the tyre pressure is too low, the risk of damage to the valves and therefore the hoses in- creases. Repairs After any repair or maintenance work, check that all safety-related parts are in place and in proper work- ing order. All parts which may cause injury must be kept where they are inaccessible to children or oth- ers.

Storage for prolonged periods without operation Allow the engine to cool before storing the machine in an enclosed space. Store the ride-on mower with empty fuel tank and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-ventilated room. Never store the machine with petrol in the fuel tank in- side a building in which the petrol fumes could come into contact with naked ames or sparks. If the tank has to be emptied (e.g. immobilisation be- fore the winter break), the fuel tank must be emptied out of doors only (empty the tank by running the en- gine out of doors, for example). Store the machine in good operational condition. The ignition key must always be removed and kept in a safe place, to prevent unauthorised or improper use by children or other persons. Thoroughly clean the ride-on mower before storage (e.g. winter break). Dry grass residues and leaves near to the muer may ignite. Danger of combustion! Allow the machine to cool down completely before covering it. Perform all the necessary maintenance operations before storing the machine. The battery cables must be disconnected if the ride- on mower is immobilised for longer periods. SCHEP- PACH recommends removing the battery and storing it in a dry and locked place. Ensure that batteries are protected from unauthor- ised use (e.g. by children). Charge the battery during the winter 1-2 times to ensure that the full charging capacity is main- tained. Incorrect storage can damage the battery and is excluded from the guarantee. Transport Transporting the ride-on mower On account of its own weight, the ride-on mower can cause severe crush injuries. Particular care must be taken when loading or unloading the ride-on mower onto/from a vehicle or trailer for transport purposes. This ride-on mower must not be towed. For transport- ing on public roads, a suitable vehicle or a suitable trailer must be used. Secure the ride-on mower on a loading area during transport. Always engage the parking brake. Prior to transporting or storage, disengage the drive to the mowing blade or attachments. When transporting the machine, always observe re- gional legislation, especially regarding load security and the transport of objects on load oors. Allow the machine, in particular the engine and muf- er, to cool down completely after loading and before further transport. The load oor and the area around the muer and engine must be kept free of combusti- ble materials such as straw, leaves or dry grass resi- dues. Always remove the ignition key
