• Muscle weakness,
• Skin discolourations,
• Unpleasant tingling sensation.
Clothing and equipment
• Always wear sturdy footwear with non-slip soles
during work. Never work barefoot or in sandals, for
example.
• The device may only be operated with long trou-
sers and tight-fitting clothing.
• Never wear loose clothing that can get caught on
moving parts (control levers) – also no jewellery, no
ties and no scarves.
• When carrying out maintenance and cleaning
work, as well as when transporting the device, al-
ways wear sturdy gloves and tie up and secure long
hair (bandana, cap, etc.).
• Suitable safety goggles must be worn when sharp-
ening the mowing blade.
During work
• It is necessary to keep third parties away.
• Never work while people, especially children, or
animals are nearby. Make sure that grass is never
ejected towards third parties.
• Do not work with the device during rain, thunder-
storms and especially when there is a risk of light-
ning.
Exhaust gases:
• Danger to life due to poisoning! Stop work imme-
diately in case of nausea, headache, visual distur-
bance (e.g. diminishing field of vision), hearing dis-
turbance, dizziness, loss of concentration. These
symptoms can be caused, among other things, by
excessive exhaust gas concentrations.
• The device produces toxic exhaust gases as soon
as the combustion engine is running. These gases
contain toxic carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas, as well as other pollutants. The
combustion engine must never be operated in en-
closed or poorly ventilated spaces.
• The exhaust gases of the combustion engine are
released into the open in front of the right rear
wheel. When working with the device, ensure that
this area is kept clean at all times and is never cov-
ered so that exhaust gases do not build up.
m Work area safety
• Completely check the terrain where the device will
be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones
and other foreign objects that may be thrown up by
the device. Obstacles (e.g. tree stumps, roots) can
easily be overlooked in the tall grass.
• Therefore, before working with the device, mark all
foreign objects (obstacles) hidden in the lawn that
cannot be removed.
• Look out for depressions (holes) in the terrain and
other non-visible danger spots. Obstacles can eas-
ily be overlooked in the tall grass.
• Use the device with special care when working
near slopes, terrain edges, ditches and dykes. In
particular, ensure that there is sufficient distance to
such danger points.
• Take special care at blind spots, bushes, trees and
other obstacles behind which there may be people,
especially children, or animals.
• Stop the petrol lawn tractor immediately and turn
off the mowing blades if anyone enters the mowing
area.
• Always keep an eye on the area in front of the vehi-
cle. Watch out for obstacles so that you can avoid
them in time.
• Before reversing, always check the area behind the
petrol lawn tractor and disengage the attachment
device if fitted. Never mow backwards unless ab-
solutely necessary. When mowing in reverse, take
extra care and thoroughly check the entire area be-
hind the petrol lawn tractor before starting to mow.
• When working within a group, you must always let
others know in good time what you intend to do.
Observe the safety distance!
• Before any change of direction, reduce the driving
speed so that the user remains in control of the de-
vice at all times and also so that the petrol lawn
tractor cannot tip over.
• When operating near roads and when crossing
traffic routes, attention must be paid to other road
users.
• Special care is needed when mowing near roads,
cycle paths and footpaths. Ejected parts can cause
serious injuries and damage.
m Use of petrol
m Danger to life! Petrol is toxic and highly flam-
mable.
• Only store petrol in containers (canisters) designed
and tested for this purpose. The tank caps must
always be properly screwed on and tightened. De-
fective caps must be replaced for safety reasons.
• Keep petrol away from sparks, open flames, per-
manent flames, heat sources and other sources of
ignition. Do not smoke!
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while re-
fuelling.
• Before refuelling, switch off the combustion engine
and let it cool down.
• Petrol must be filled before starting the combustion
engine. While the combustion engine runs or if the
machine is hot, the fuel cap must not be opened
and petrol must not be filled.
• Open the fuel cap carefully and slowly. Wait for the
pressure to equalise and only then remove the fuel
filler cap completely.
