parts.
• Always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine
spare parts can entail a risk of injury, even if
they fit the machine.
• Replace damaged warning and instruction
stickers.
• If there is no mechanical lock for the transport
position, the cutting deck must be lowered
when parked, stored or when the machine is left
unsupervised.

place outdoors.
• Store the machine so that children cannot get to

chanical damage or overcharging, acid can leak
out.
• Never overcharge the battery. Overcharging can
cause the battery to explode, throwing the acid
in all directions.
• If acid comes into contact with the eyes or skin,
this can cause serious injuries. If any part of the
body has come into contact with acid, rinse im-
mediately with copious amounts of water and
seek medical assistance as soon as possible.
• Fumes from acid that are inhaled cause damage
to mucous membranes and other internal or-
gans. Seek medical assistance if acid fumes
have been inhaled.
• Acid causes serious damage to tools, clothes
and other material. Rinse away spilled acid im-
mediately with water.
