Any person intending to use this machine must not be under the influence of intoxicants such as alcohol, drugs or medicines.

Persons under 16 years of age may not operate the appliance. Local regulations may fix the minimum age.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Never refuel the unit while the engine is running or hot. Only fill the tank in the open air.

Avoid naked flames, the formation of sparks and do not smoke.

Make sure that at all times there are no persons, especially children, or animals in the working area.

Check the area in which you intend to use the unit and remove all objects that could be hit and propelled by the unit. You can thus avoid injuries and damage to the unit.

Never mow on slopes that are steeper than 20%. Working on slopes is dangerous; the risk of rollover and sliding is increased.

When working on slopes, always drive off and halt the unit gently and gradually. The transmission should always be engaged when driving down a slope – never coast – and drive at a low speed. Never drive across the face of a slope, always up and down the slope.

Only use the unit in daylight or with a sufficient level of artificial lighting.

The unit is not authorised for the transport of people. Never allow passengers on the unit.

Before any work on the appliance

Protect yourself from injury. Before doing any work to this appliance:

– turn the engine off,

– remove the ignition key,

– lock the parking brake.

– wait until all moving parts have come to rest and the engine has fully cooled,

– pull off the cap of the spark plug so that the engine cannot inadvertently start.

After working with the appliance

Only leave the appliance once you have turned off the engine, actuated the parking brake and have removed the ignition key.

Safety features

Safety features serve to protect you and must always be functional.

You may not make any alterations to the safety features or circumvent their proper functioning.

Safety features are:

Grass catcher

The grass catcher prevents injuries from the cutter or ejected objects.

The unit must not be operated without the attached grass catcher or an optional deflector.

Safety lock system

The safety interlock system will not allow the engine to start unless

– the driver is sitting on the seat,

– the brake pedal has been depressed or the parking brake is in the park position,

– the direction lever or the accelerator pedal is at “N”,

– the cutter deck is switched off, i.e. PTO switch or PTO lever set to “OFF” position (PTO = Power

Take Off).

The safety interlock system switches the engine off as soon as the operator leaves his seat without actuating the parking brake or switching off the cutter deck.

The safety interlock system prevents rear discharge units from mowing without attached deflector/ grass catcher (automatic disconnection of engine or cutter deck).

If units have no OCR function or the

OCR function is deactivated, the safety interlock system prevents the unit from reversing while the cutter deck is switched on

(automatic disconnection of engine or cutter deck).

Before reversing appliances with

PTO, therefore, switch OFF the cutters at the PTO switch or PTO lever.
