• Objects hit by the blades can severely injure peo-
ple. Thoroughly check the area where the machine
is to be used and remove all stones, sticks, metal,
wires, bones, toys and other objects. Remember
that threads and wires can get caught on the blades.
• Always visually inspect the product before use in
order to ensure that the blade, blade nuts and the
cutting assembly are not worn or damaged.
• Never eject material in the direction of persons.
Plan the mowing path in order to avoid material be-
ing ejected in the direction of persons, roads, pave-
ments, windows and cars. Also avoid the material
from being ejected against a wall, it could be flung
against the user.
• Switch the blade off if the product is not being used.
• Never use the product in enclosed spaces.
• Stop the blades when crossing gravel areas in order to
avoid whirling up gravel and stones. Move the product
slowly and carefully in order to avoid a loss of control.
• Switch the motor off according to the instructions
and keep hands and feet away from the cutting
range. Do not hold your hands or feet near or be-
neath rotating parts.
• Do not mow backwards unless absolutely necessary.
Always look down and behind before and while mov-
ing backwards.
• Be careful when approaching corners which cannot
be seen, shrubs, trees, overhanging bushes or oth-
er objects which could impair your view.
• Drive slowly before turning.
• Do not leave the product in operation unattended.
Always apply the locking brake, switch the blade
off, stop the motor and remove the start key before
dismounting.
• Watch out for traffic when working near roads. Do
not operate the mower on roads.
• Slopes are a major factor in loss of control and fall-
ing accidents which can lead to severe or fatal in-
juries. Caution is advised when mowing on slopes.
Do not mow the area if you cannot drive down the
slope or feel uncomfortable. Never use the product
on steep slopes with a gradient of more than 15°.
Create a copy or cut out "Slope management" at the
end of the manual in order to determine if your slope
is too steep for safe operation.
Transportation of lead batteries
• Transport rechargeable batteries as per your local
and national provisions and rules.
• Follow all special requirements for packaging and labelling
if you have rechargeable batteries transported by third par-
ties. Ensure that the rechargeable batteries do not
come into contact with other rechargeable batteries
or conductive materials by protecting the free con-
nections with insulating tape, non-conductive caps
or adhesive tape. Damaged or leaking rechargea-
ble batteries must not be transported. More informa-
tion can be obtained from your transport company.
Safety instructions about pulling loads
• Use common sense when pulling. Pulling a load on
a slope which is too heavy is dangerous. Tyres can
lose traction and this results in a loss of control over
the product.
• Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer
for wheel weights or counterweights.
• The total weight of the trailer must not exceed the
maximum trailer load of 113 kg (250 lbs.).
• Only attach trailer equipment to the trailer plate.
• Never allow children or other persons onto the trail-
er equipment.
• The braking distance increases with speed and the
weight of the pulled load. Drive slowly and allow for
additional time and distance for stopping.
• Do not turn sharply when pulling. Take particular care
when turning or when working with adverse surface
conditions. Be careful when working in reverse.
Work deployment:
m Warning – Danger of injury!
• Note the working range of the mowing blade. Never
out hands and feet on or under rotating parts. Nev-
er touch the rotating mowing blade. Always keep
clear of the discharge opening. A sufficient safety
distance must always be maintained.
• Only work in daylight or with good, artificial lighting.
• When driving outside the lawn or when not mowing,
disengage the mowing blade and move the mowing
unit to the highest cutting position.
• Objects hidden in the turf (lawn sprinkler systems,
piles, water valves, foundations, electrical lines,
etc.) must be bypassed. Never drive over such for-
eign objects.
• While driving, the steering wheel should always be
held firmly with both hands.
• Special care should be taken when driving on lawns
and other uneven surfaces, as the steering wheel
can turn on its own due to holes, hills, bumps, etc.
• Danger of injury to hands and fingers!
• Always drive at an appropriate speed.
Switch off the battery-powered ride-on lawnmower and
wait until the mowing blade comes to a complete stop,
engage the locking brake and remove the ignition key:
• before releasing blockages or rectifying obstruc-
tions in the ejector chute,
• before checking, cleaning or working on the bat-
tery-powered ride-on lawnmower,
• if the mowing blade encounters a foreign object.
Look for damage to the machine and cutting tool
and have the necessary repairs carried out before
starting again,
• if the device starts to vibrate unusually strongly. Im-
mediate review is required.
• when leaving or transporting the device.
