• Use a suitable funnel or filler pipe for refuelling so
that no fuel can spill onto the combustion engine
and housing or lawn.
Do not overfill the fuel tank!
• To leave room for the fuel to expand, never fill the
fuel tank beyond the lower edge of the filling nozzle.
Observe additional information in the combustion
engine user manual.
• If petrol has overflowed, do not start the combus-
tion engine until the petrol-contaminated area has
been cleaned. Avoid starting the engine until the
fuel vapours have evaporated (wipe dry).
• Always wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
• If petrol has got on clothing, it must be changed.
• The tank cover must be properly screwed on and
tightened after each refuelling operation. The de-
vice must not be put into operation without the orig-
inal tank cover screwed on.
• For safety reasons, check fuel line, fuel tank, fuel
cap and connections regularly for damage, ageing
(brittleness), tight fit and leaks and replace if nec-
essary.
• Only empty the tank outdoors.
• Never use beverage bottles or similar to dispose of
or store operating materials, such as fuel. People,
especially children, could be tempted to drink from it.
• Never store the device with petrol in the tank inside
a building. Any fuel vapours produced can come
into contact with naked flames or sparks and ignite.
• Do not place the device and fuel tank near heaters,
radiant heaters, welding machines or other sources
of heat.
Risk of explosion!
If a defect is detected on the tank, the tank cover or
on fuel-carrying parts (fuel lines) during operation,
the combustion engine must be switched off immedi-
ately. Then consult a specialist dealer.

• The combustion engine may only be started in a
well ventilated work area, especially in garages
care must be taken to ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Before starting the combustion engine, disengage
the cutting tool, attachment devices and drive and
firmly depress the brake pedal.
• When starting, make sure that there is sufficient
distance between the feet and the cutting tool.
• Do not start the engine if you are standing in front
of the ejector chute.
• Never lift or carry a lawnmower while the engine is
running.
• Operating the machine with excessive speed can
increase the risk of accidents.
• Caution! The lawnmower must not be used with-
out either the full grass catcher, a mulching insert
if available or the self-closing separating guard for
the ejection opening in place.
• Never start the combustion engine by short-circuit-
ing the starter terminal. If the normal starter circuit
is bypassed, the petrol lawn tractor may suddenly
start moving.
• Never start the combustion engine if you notice the
smell of petrol – Danger of explosion!
Work deployment:
m Warning – Risk of injury!
• Note the working range of the mowing blade. Never
put hands and feet on or under rotating parts. Nev-
er touch the rotating mowing blade. Always keep
clear of the ejection opening. A sufficient safety dis-
tance must always be maintained.
• Only work in daylight or with good, artificial lighting.
• When driving outside the lawn or when not mowing,
disengage the mowing blade and move the mowing
unit to the highest cutting position.
• Objects hidden in the turf (lawn sprinkler systems, piles,
water valves, foundations, electrical lines, etc.) must be
bypassed. Never drive over such foreign objects.
• While driving, the steering wheel should always be
held firmly with both hands.
• Special care should be taken when driving on lawns
and other uneven surfaces, as the steering wheel
can turn on its own due to holes, hills, bumps, etc.
• Danger of injury to hands and fingers!
• Always drive at an appropriate speed.
• Only empty the collection basket from the driver's seat.
• Before emptying the collection basket, always dis-
engage the mowing blade and wait until it has come
to a standstill.
Switch off the drive, stop the combustion engine and
wait until the mowing blade comes to a complete
stop, engage the locking brake and remove the ig-
nition key:
• before releasing blockages or rectifying obstruc-
tions in the ejector chute,
