• Slopes are one of the main causes of accidents
where control of the petrol lawn tractor is lost and
the device tips over. This can cause serious or even
fatal injuries.
• For safety reasons, the device must not be used on
slopes steeper than 10° (17.6 %).
• 10° slope corresponds to a vertical rise of 17.6 cm
at 100 cm horizontal length.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.
• Do not use the device in places such as slopes or
ditches where it may tip over or slip. The danger of
tipping over or slipping is greater if the surface is
loose or damp.
• Always drive on slopes in the longitudinal direction.
There is an increased risk of tipping over when driv-
ing sideways.
• When driving on slopes, do not make abrupt chang-
es in speed or direction. Working in such situations
requires careful, calm and steady operation of the
petrol lawn tractor.
• Avoid changes of direction on slopes. Turn around
on slopes only if this is unavoidable; if possible,
drive slowly and in a wide arc in the downward di-
rection.
• Do not mow wet grass, especially on slopes, as
grip is reduced on wet grass. The petrol lawn trac-
tor could slip and therefore no longer be controlled
by the user.
• When driving on slopes, the transmission must not
be unlocked by means of the gear freewheel.
• If the wheels should spin or if the vehicle gets stuck
when travelling up a slope, disengage the mowing
blade or attachment device. Afterwards, the slope is
to be left in a slow downward and straight direction.
• Never try to stabilise the petrol lawn tractor by sup-
porting it with your foot on the ground.
• The weight of the collection basket increases the
risk of tipping, especially when it is full.
• Never empty or lift the collection basket on an in-
clined plane.

c WARNING!
Danger of injury and tipping!
The petrol lawn tractor may tip over if it has not been
parked on a level surface.
- The danger of tipping over or slipping is greater if
the surface is loose or damp.
- When stopping, pay attention to the overrun of the
cutting tool, which is a few seconds until it comes
to a standstill.
11.7 After mowing
1. Always allow the engine to cool down before park-
ing the petrol lawn tractor in an enclosed space.
2. Remove grass, leaves, grease, and oil before
storage. Do not place any other objects on the
mower.
3. Check all screws and nuts before the next use.
Tighten up the loose screws.
4. Empty the collection basket (21) before the next use.
5. Remove the ignition key (4a) from the ignition lock
(4).
6. Make sure that the petrol lawn tractor is not
parked next to a source of danger. Escaping gas
can cause explosions.
7. When the petrol lawn tractor is not in use for an
extended period of time, empty the fuel tank with
a petrol extraction pump (not included in the scope
of delivery).
