user's requirements. Genuine VIKING
spare parts can be recognised by the
VIKING spare parts number, by the
VIKING lettering and, if present, by the
VIKING spare parts symbol. On smaller
parts, only the symbol may be present.
For safety reasons, fuel-carrying
components (fuel line, fuel cock, fuel tank,
tank cap, connections etc.) must be
checked regularly for damage and leaks
and replaced by a technician if necessary
(VIKING recommends VIKING specialist
dealers).
Always keep warning and information
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or
missing stickers must be replaced by new,
original plates from your VIKING specialist
dealer. If a component is replaced with a
new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same
stickers.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when
wearing thick work gloves and exercising
extreme care.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws (in
particular the blade fastening screw) are
securely tightened so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Check the complete machine and the
grass catcher box for wear or damage on
a regular basis, particularly before
extended periods when the machine is not
in use (e.g. over winter). For safety
reasons, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced immediately to ensure that the
machine is always in a safe operating
condition.
Never alter the basic setting of the engine
or run at excessive engine speeds.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.

4.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
Ensure that the machine is protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.
If the tank has to be emptied (e.g. to store
the machine before the winter break), this
should only be done out of doors (e.g. by
running the tank empty).
Thoroughly clean the machine before
storage (e.g. winter break).
Only store the machine with the spark plug
socket disconnected.
Store the machine in good operational
condition.

4.9 Disposal

Waste products such as used engine oil or
fuel, used lubricants, filters, batteries and
similar wearing parts can be harmful to
people, animals and the environment, and
must consequently be disposed of
properly.
Consult your recycling centre or your
specialist dealer for information on the
proper disposal of waste products. VIKING
recommends VIKING specialist dealers.
Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, remove the ignition
lead, empty the fuel tank and drain the
engine oil in particular.
Risk of injury due to the mowing blade!
Always store an old lawn mower in a safe
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the
machine and particularly the mowing blade
are kept out of the reach of children.
