• Petrol is highly inflammable!
– Only store petrol in containers fit for the
purpose.
– Only refuel outdoors and do not smoke
during the refuelling process.
– Petrol must be topped up before the
motor is started. Do not open the petrol
cap or refill with petrol while the motor is
running or the lawnmower is hot.
– Never attempt to start the motor if petrol
has been spilt. Instead, move the
machine away from the contaminated
area. Avoid all attempts to start the
motor until the petrol vapours have
evaporated.
– For safety reasons the petrol tank and
other petrol caps are to be replaced in
case of damage.
• Replace defective sound absorbers.
• Before use, you must always perform a
visual inspection as to whether the cutting
blade, fastening bolt, and entire cutting
unit are worn or damaged. To prevent
unbalance, worn or damaged cutting
blades and fixing bolts may only be
replaced in sets. Worn or damaged
notices must be replaced.
• In case case of machines with several
cutting blades, please note that the move-
ment of a cutting blade can lead to rota-
tions of the other cutting blades.
