• Never smoke during any work on the battery. Al-
ways keep sparks, naked flames and other heat
sources away from the battery.
• Special care must be taken when using jumper ca-
bles. Follow relevant instructions to avoid damage
to the petrol ride-on lawnmower (in particular, do
not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds).
• Never open the battery and do not drop it.
• Always charge the battery in a closed room with
good ventilation, dry and protected against the
weather.
• Do not short-circuit battery connections.
• Deformed or defective (leaking) batteries must not
be used and must be replaced and disposed of in
an environmentally friendly manner. Observe the
country-specific regulations.
• If the batteries are defective, liquid may leak out.
Avoid contact! In case of accidental contact, rinse
with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek ad-
ditional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid can
cause skin irritation, burns and chemical burns.
• Regularly visually inspect the connection cables on
the battery for damage. Have damaged cables re-
placed by a specialist.
• Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a
rating other than the prescribed rating (amperes).
m S afety instructions for petrol ride-on lawn-
mowers
Starting up:
• The device may only be started from the driver's
seat.
• Start the device on a level surface, not on a slope.
• The combustion engine may only be started in a
well ventilated work area, especially in garages
care must be taken to ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Before starting the combustion engine, disengage
the cutting tool, attachment devices and drive and
firmly depress the brake pedal.
• When starting, make sure that there is sufficient
distance between the feet and the cutting tool.
• Do not start the engine if you are standing in front
of the ejector chute.
• Never lift or carry a lawnmower while the motor is
running.
• Operating the machine with excessive speed can
increase the risk of accidents.
• Never start the combustion engine by short-circuit-
ing the starter terminal. If the normal starter circuit
is bypassed, the petrol ride-on lawnmower may
suddenly start moving.
• Never start the combustion engine if you notice the
smell of petrol. – Danger of explosion!
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.
• Only empty the catch basket from the driver's seat.
• Before emptying the catch basket, always disen-
gage the mowing blade and wait until it has come
to a standstill.
Switch off the drive, stop the combustion engine and
wait until the mowing blade comes to a complete
stop, engage the locking brake and remove the ig-
nition key:
• before releasing blockages or rectifying obstruc-
tions in the ejector chute,
• before checking, cleaning or working on the petrol
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.
