CHILD SAFETY

If the riding mower operator is not prepared for the presence of children then a tragic accident may
happen. The movement of a riding mower attracts the attention of children. Never assume that children
will remain in the location where you last saw them.
Do not allow children without supervision in areas where you are mowing grass.
ƒ
Always be prepared - if children approach you then turn off the mower.
ƒ
Before and while reversing look behind you and at the ground.
ƒ
Never transport children, they may fall and seriously injure themselves, or they may dangerously interfere
ƒ
with the riding mower controls. Never allow children to operate the mower.
Pay increased attention in places with limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).
ƒ

FIRE SAFETY

When reversing the riding mower it is necessary to adhere to fundamentals and regulations for work
safety and fire protection relating to work with this type of mower.
Regularly remove flammable substances (dry grass, leaves, etc.) from the area around the exhaust, engine,
ƒ
battery and anywhere, where they could come into contact with petrol or oil and subsequently catch on fire
and so result in a fire on the mower.
Allow the engine and the exhaust of the mower to cool down before parking it in an enclosed location.
ƒ
Pay increased attention when working with fuel, oil and other flammable substances. These are very
ƒ
flammable substances, the fumes of which are explosive. Do not smoke during this work.
Never unscrew the fuel tank cap and refill with fuel while the engine is running, if the engine is hot or if the
ƒ
mower is in an enclosed location.
Keep fuel in containers (canisters) intended and authorised for this purpose. Do not leave fuel in the vicinity
ƒ
of sources of sparks, an open fire, constant flames, heat sources and other sources of ignition. Never store
fuel or the mower inside a building near any source of heat.
Check the fuel lines before using and do not fill the fuel all the way up to the bottleneck of the tank. The
ƒ
heat generated by the engine, sun and the expansion of the fuel may lead to the fuel overflowing and
a subsequent fire.
Only refill fuel outdoors and never smoke while refilling fuel. Turn off the combustion engine before refilling
ƒ
the tank. In the event that the mower was running before this, wait until it cools down.
Pay increased attention when working with the battery. The gas inside the battery is highly explosive, therefore
ƒ
do not smoke in the vicinity of the battery and do not use an open flame so as to avoid serious injuries.
