Viking ME 339 Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 35

Only operate the machine at walking
speed – never run when working with the
machine. Working quickly with the
machine increases the risk of injury due to
stumbling, slipping etc.
Switch off the motor,
– if tilting of the mower is necessary when
transporting over surfaces other than
grass,
– when pushing the mower to and from
mowing areas,
– before removing the grass catcher box.
Always ensure good stability on slopes.
Avoid mowing on excessively steep slopes
in order to prevent loss of control of the
machine.
Be particularly careful when changing
direction on a slope in order to prevent loss
of control of the machine.
Only mow at right-angles to the slope and
never up or down the slope, in order to
avoid being run over by the running lawn
mower in the case of loss of control of the
machine or of falling.
Caution – Risk of stumbling!
Be particularly careful when moving
backwards and when pulling the lawn
mower.
Be particularly careful when turning the
machine around or pulling it towards you.
For safety reasons, the machine must not
be used on slopes with an incline of more
than 25° (46.6%).
Risk of injury:

A slope inclination of 25° corresponds to a
vertical height increase of 46.6 cm for a
100 cm horizontal distance.
Beware of the work tools running
on for several seconds before
coming to a standstill.
Do not try to examine the blades
while the lawn mower is
operating. Never open the
discharge flap and/or remove the grass
catcher box when the mowing blade is
running. Rotating blades can cause injury.
Never attach any objects to the handlebar
(e.g. work clothing). Extension cables
must never be wrapped around the
handlebar.
Regularly check that the blade is securely
fastened and is not damaged or worn in
any way ( 12.5).
Caution – risk of injury!
Never put hands or feet on or
underneath rotating parts. Never
touch the rotating blade. Always keep
away from the discharge opening. Always
observe the safety distance provided by
the handlebar.
Avoid switching on the machine repeatedly
within a short period of time; in particular
avoid "playing" with the start button. Risk
of motor overheating.
Owing to the voltage fluctuations caused
by this machine during the run-up period,
other devices connected to the same
circuit may be subject to interference in the
case of unfavourable power supply
conditions. In this case, appropriate steps
should be taken (e.g. connection to a
different circuit than the one used by the
affected device, or operation of the
machine using a circuit with a lower
impedance).
Switch off the motor, disconnect
the mains plug and ensure that
the cutting tool has come to a
complete standstill
– before remedying blockages, including
those in the discharge chute,
– if the cutting tool has hit a foreign object.
The cutting tool needs to be checked for
possible damage. The lawn mower
must not be operated with a damaged
or bent blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk
of injury through defective parts!
– Before you check, clean or carry out
work on the mower, e.g. adjusting the
cutting height, opening or closing the
discharge flap;
– If the mower begins to vibrate
excessively. In this case, the complete
machine, in particular the cutting tool
must be checked for possible damage
and loose parts. Damaged parts must
be replaced prior to further use, loose
parts must be fastened/tightened.
– Before leaving the machine
unattended;
– Before lifting, or carrying the machine;
– Before transporting the machine.
Never lift or carry a mower with the motor
running or the mains lead connected.
