Never clean the mower with a water jet or high pressure
cleaner. The motor should remain dry.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products such as cold
cleaners or white spirit.
Never drive close to an edge or ditch for cleaning work
(e.g. on the frame of the petrol ride-on lawnmower).
To avoid fire hazard, keep combustion engine, cooling
fins, battery compartment, area around fuel tank and ex-
haust pipe free from grass, leaves or leaking oil (grease).
Always clean the catch basket (2).
13.3 Maintenance tasks
Only maintenance work described in this operating
manual may be carried out; have all other work carried
out by a specialist dealer. If you lack the necessary
knowledge and tools, always consult a specialist dealer.
We recommend that maintenance work and repairs be
carried out only by a specialist dealer.
Only use tools, accessories or attachment devices
which are permitted by the manufacturer of this de-
vice or technically similar parts, otherwise there may
be a danger of accidents resulting in personal injury or
damage to the device. If you have any questions, you
should contact a specialist dealer.
Original tools, accessories and spare parts are optimal-
ly matched to the device and the user's requirements.
The petrol ride-on lawnmower should be checked by
the specialist dealer once a year.
Keep warning and instruction labels clean and legible at
all times. Damaged or lost stickers must be replaced with
new original ones. If a component is replaced by a new
part, make sure that the new part has the same stickers.
For safety reasons, fuel-carrying components (fuel
line, fuel valve, fuel tank, fuel cap, connections, etc.)
must be checked regularly for damage and leaks and
replaced by a specialist if necessary.
The device is equipped with numerous safety features.
These devices must not be removed or modified (by-
passed, etc.) and must be checked at regular intervals.
Work on the safety devices may only be carried out by
a specialist.

Keep all nuts, pins and screws, especially the blade
fixing screw, firmly tightened so that the device is in a
safe operating status.
Worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately
for safety reasons.
Regularly check the catcher (e.g. catch basket, ejector
chute) for wear, damage or loss of functionality.
Working under the machine requires special care due
to the weight of the petrol ride-on lawnmower. Contact
your specialist dealer for this.
Check that the front and rear wheels are secured.
Always keep the petrol ride-on lawnmower and attach-
ment devices in good working order; all safety devices
must be in place and in good working order.
Check the function of the brake regularly (every 25
operating hours) and have the necessary settings or
maintenance work carried out by a specialist workshop
if necessary.
13.3.1 Wheel axles and wheel hubs
To ensure the smooth running of the wheels, we rec-
ommend cleaning and lightly greasing the wheel axles
and wheel hubs at least once per season.
NOTE:
The front and rear wheels (9 + 6) must be disassem-
bled to grease the axles and hubs.
13.3.2 Changing the mowing blade
For safety reasons, only have your mowing blade re-
placed, sharpened, balanced and fitted by an author-
ised specialist workshop. To achieve an optimal work-
ing result, it is recommended to have the mowing blade
checked once a year.
