⚠ Safety of personnel

Caution! Danger to health due to vibrations.

Excessive exposure to vibrations can result in damage to the cardiovascular or nervous system, particularly 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 affect the fingers, hands or wrists and include

• numbness,
• pain,
• muscular weakness,
• 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 electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer 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-fitting clothing when operating the machine.

Never wear loose clothes which may become caught on moving parts (control levers) – do not wear jewellery, ties or scarves.

Also always wear sturdy gloves and tie up and secure 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, particularly 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 thunder storms, particularly when there is a risk of lightning strike.

Exhaust gases:

Danger to life through poisoning!

In the case of nausea, headache, impaired vision (e.g. decreasing field of view) hearing disorder, dizziness, decreasing power of concentration, stop working 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 poisonous carbon monoxide, a colourless and odourless gas, as well as other pollutants. The engine must never be operated in closed or poorly ventilated spaces.

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 exhaust gasses.

⚠ Workplace safety

Carefully inspect the complete area on which the machine 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 other 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 particular, ensure that you maintain sufficient distance to such danger areas.

Particular care must be taken at points of poor visibility, bushes, trees and other obstacles, behind which persons, especially children, or animals may be hidden.

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. Beware 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 attachment. 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.

Handling petrol

⚠ Danger to life! Petrol is poisonous and extremely inflammable.

Petrol must only be stored in appropriate, tested containers (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 flames, pilot lights, heat sources, and other ignition sources. Do not smoke!

Refill the tank out-of-doors and do not smoke during refilling.

Before refilling the tank, stop the engine and allow it to cool.

Refilling with petrol must be performed before the engine is started. When the engine is running or is hot, the tank cap must not be removed and the tank must not be refilled 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 filling pipe for refilling the tank, so that no fuel can spill onto the engine and housing or the lawn.

Do not overfill the fuel tank!

To give the fuel room to expand, never fill the fuel tank past the lower edge of the filler neck. Observe the additional instructions in the engine instruction manual.

If petrol is spilled, the engine must only be started after 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 refilling of the tank, the fuel tank cap must be properly screwed on and tightened. The machine must not be operated without the original tank cap.

For safety reasons, the fuel line, fuel tank, tank cap and connections must be checked regularly for damage, ageing (brittleness), firm seating and leaks. Replace 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 flames or sparks and could be ignited.

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 first and reconnected last.

Never smoke when working on the battery. Sparks, naked flames 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-ventilated 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-specific legislation.

Fluid may escape from faulty batteries. Avoid contact! In the case of inadvertent contact, rinse with water. Seek medical attention if the fluid contacts the eyes. Escaping battery fluid 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 value that differs from the specified rating (ampere).

⚠ Safety information for ride-on mowers

Starting:

The machine must only be started from the driver's seat.

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,
• driving too fast,
• inappropriate braking,
• incorrect use (sport events, etc.),
• inadequate knowledge of the effects associated with ground conditions, especially on slopes (see section „For your safety“, „Working on slopes“),
• incorrect attachment of loads and poor load distribution.

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 – fire 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 necessary, 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 (mowing blade, blade clutch, blade brake, retaining pin, mowing deck housing) are in good condition. Particularly 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 function correctly.
• the tyres (inflation 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

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 requires special concentration. For safety reasons, the machine must not be used on slopes with an inclination 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 off or stopping on a gradient must be avoided.

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 driving 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 mower could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.

The gearbox must never be disengaged via the gearbox freewheel when driving on slopes.

Special care must be taken when operating attachments 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 incline, 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 incline.

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 seconds before coming to a standstill.

Before leaving the driver's seat, disengage the mowing 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 authorised 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 inflict bodily injury.
• A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts unless the mower has been switched off for a while and you know that they have cooled down!
• Insufficient daylight or even a sufficient level of artificial 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 vibrates more than usual.
• Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot. (Fig. 33).
• Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one (traffic). 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 difficult 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 off the engine and pull the plug boot.
• Never remove any safety-related parts.
• Never fill 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 difficult 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 off 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 off. 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 off 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 (fig. 36):

• Drive to the location where you would like to empty the catch bucket.
• Depress the brake pedal (8) completely.
• Shut off the mower (5).
• Lift the catch bucket (15) by the handle so that it empties.
  • Lower the catch basket (15) again

Disengage the catch bucket (15) for emptying (fig. 37):

• Press the brake pedal (8) completely and activate the locking brake (6).
• Shut off 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 off before parking the lawnmower in an enclosed room.
• Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before storage. 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 explosions.
• Only original parts or parts approved by the manufacturer may be used for repairs (see address on guarantee certificate).
• In case of longer idle periods of the mower, empty the petrol tank with a petrol suction pump.

9. Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance and repairs

Before beginning cleaning, adjustment, repair and maintenance operations, park the machine on firm, level ground, engage the parking brake, stop the engine, 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 muffler; this also applies in particular to all maintenance operations on the mowing deck. Temperatures of 80 °C and above can be reached.

Danger of burns!

Direct contact with engine oil can be dangerous. Engine 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 off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water onto the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.
• Turn off 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 immediately after you have finished mowing the grass. Dried on grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing performance. 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 fire hazards, keep the engine, cooling ribs, battery compartment, area around the fuel tank and exhaust free from grass, leaves or escaping oil (or grease).

Always clean the grass catcher box.

Maintenance operations:

Only maintenance operations described in this instruction 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 identical parts. Otherwise, there may be a risk of accidents 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 inspected once annually by a specialist dealer.

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 components, the negative (−) cable must be disconnected from the battery.

The machine is equipped with numerous safety devices. These devices must not be removed or modified (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 attachments in perfect operating condition. All safety devices must be present and be in perfect operating condition.

Ensure that the tyres have the correct tyre pressures. The tyre pressures specified in the instruction manual 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 intervals and, if necessary, have the required adjustments or maintenance operations performed by a technician.

⚠ WARNING

Never work on or touch conducting parts on the ignition 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.

• Use the included injector needle (g) and hose to extract motor oil through the filling nozzle.
• Fill with fresh motor oil and check the oil level

Dispose of the used oil in accordance with applicable regulations.

Air filter maintenance (fig. 35 + 36)

Fouled air filters (20) diminish the motor performance due to reduced air supply to the carburettor. Regular inspection is therefore essential.

The air filter should be checked every 25 operating hours and cleaned as required. The air filter 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 off the air filter cover (fig. 36) and remove the air filter (A and B).
• Wash off the sponge filter (B) with water and dry it completely.
• Clean the paper filter (A) with compressed air only or by knocking them out.

Important: Never clean the air filter with petrol or inflammable cleaning agents. Clean the paper filter 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 off 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"). Refit 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.
