2.3 | CHILD SAFETY

If the riding mower operator is not prepared for the presence of children then a tragic accident may happen. The movement of
a riding mower attracts the attention of children. Never assume that children will remain in the location where you last saw them.
! Do not allow children without supervision in areas where you are mowing grass.
! Always be prepared - if children approach you then turn off the machine.
! Before and while reversing look behind you and at the ground.
! Never transport children, they may fall and seriously injure themselves, or they may dangerously interfere with the riding mower
controls. Never allow children to operate the machine.
! Pay increased attention in places with limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).

2.4. | FIRE SAFETY

When reversing the riding mower it is necessary to adhere to fundamentals and regulations for work safety and fire protection
relating to work with this type of machine.
! Regularly remove flammable substances (dry grass, leaves, etc.) from the area around the exhaust, engine, battery and anywhere,
where they could come into contact with petrol or oil and subsequently catch on fire and so result in a fire on the machine.
! Allow the riding mower engine to cool down before parking it in an enclosed location.
! Pay increased attention when working with petrol, oil and other flammable substances. These are very flammable substances, the
fumes of which are explosive. Do not smoke during this work. Never unscrew the petrol tank cap and refill with petrol while the
engine is running, if the engine is hot or if the machine is in a closed location.
! Check the petrol lines before using and do not fill the petrol all the way up to the bottleneck of the tank. The heat generated by
the engine, sun and the expansion of the fuel may lead to the petrol overflowing and a subsequent fire. For storing flammable
substances use containers designed for this purpose. Never store a canister with petrol or the machine inside a building near any
source of heat. Pay increased attention when working with the battery. The gas inside the battery is highly explosive, therefore do
not smoke in the vicinity of the battery and do not use an open flame so as to avoid serious injuries.
