! 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 mower 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 fuel
overflowing and a subsequent fire.
! For storing flammable substances use containers designed for this purpose. Never store a canister
with petrol or the mower 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.
2.5 DANGEROUS PARTS OF THE MOWER - RESIDUAL HAZARDS
! The riding mower is designed so that when properly operated in perfect technical condition, it poses
no danger to the driver and his/her surroundings. Nevertheless, there may arise situations during
operation, maintenance and adjustment that pose a danger to workers if they are not aware of them
and do not adhere to the safety instruction here provided. These hazards represent so-called residual
hazards – they are hazards that remain even after all preventive and protective measures have been
considered and implemented. Residual hazards are present during use, maintenance and adjustment
of the mower. Therefore, every person that comes into work contact with the mower must know these
hazards and must adhere to all recommendations for their mitigation.
MOWING BLADES
! Rotating mowing blades are very sharp and coming into contact with them creates a serious risk of
injury to limbs. Therefore, do not put your hands or legs underneath the mowing deck cover. Never
put any part of your body near the rotating or moving blades. Do not attempt to use your hands or
other temporary items to stop or slow down moving mowing blades!
MOVING AND HOT PARTS
! When the engine is running, there are parts that are rotating and may cause serious injury to various
parts of the body. When performing maintenance or adjustment of mower parts located underneath
the hood or underneath the raised mower, it is thus necessary to pay increased attention and never to
bring any part of the body in the vicinity of moving parts. Only a person with perfect knowledge of the
principles of motion of these parts may perform their maintenance and adjustment. During operation,
parts located under the hood heated up and when touched with an unprotected part of the body may
result in serious burns. Therefore, before opening the hood for the purpose of performing maintenance
or servicing tasks, always allow the mower to cool down and use safety gloves for protection.
DRIVER'S LOCATION
! In the driver's location, there is a risk of falling from the platform or slipping as a result of
inattentiveness. Therefore, always be careful when getting on or getting off the mower. Another
hazard for the driver is fatigue, stress or erroneous behaviour caused by work overload, insufficient
illumination of the mowed area or noise during operation. It is, therefore, necessary to always use
hearing protection while using the mower, do not overload yourself and take breaks.
FUEL TANK
! The fuel in the fuel tank is a highly flammable substance the fumes of which are explosive. When
working with fuel or in the vicinity of the fuel tank (even when closed), never smoke, never come
close with an open flame or with items that generate high temperatures.
