SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol implies that important safety rules are applicable.
This is for your safety and the operating reliability of the machine.
!
Read the instructions before starting the machine.
Clear the area from stones etc. before cutting.
Never carry passengers.
!
WARNING!
This machine can cut off hands and feet, and eject objects.
Failure to follow the safety instructions can lead to severe injury.
4 – English
• Watch out for traffic when working close to a
road, or crossing one.
• Be careful when rounding a fixed object so that
the blades do not hit it. Never drive intentionally
over a foreign object.
• The machine is heavy and can cause very
severe crush injuries. Be extra careful when
loading it on a trailer or truck.
• Be careful when pulling a load or using heavy
equipment.
a. Only use approved tow hooks.
b. Limit the load to what you can manage safely.
c. Do not make sharp turns. Be careful when
reversing.
d. Use counterweights or wheel weights when
indicated in the instructions.
Driving on slopes
Driving on slopes is one of the situations where
there is the most serious risk that the driver can
loose control or that the machine tips over, which
can cause severe injuries or be fatal. All slopes
require extra care. If you cannot reverse up the
slope or if you feel uncertain avoid cutting it.
Do as follows:
• Remove obstacles such as stones and branches
etc.
• Cut upwards and downwards, not sideways.
• Look out for and avoid driving over furrows,
holes or mounds. On uneven surfaces it is
easier for the machine to tip over. High grass
can conceal obstacles.
• Drive slowly. Select a low gear to avoid having
to stop and changing gear. It is also easier to
use the gear to brake in a low gear.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on
wheelweights or counterweights to increase
stability.
• Take special care with accessories that can alter
the stability of the rider mower.
• Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes.
Avoid sudden changes of speed or direction.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres
begin to skid switch of the blades and drive
slowly down the slope.
• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if
turning is necessary turn slowly and gradually,
downwards if possible.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be extra careful when driving on slopes.
Cut slopes upwards and downwards, not sideways.
English – 5
• Do not cut close to edges, ditches or banks. The
machine can suddenly tip over if a wheel goes
over the edge of a drop or a ditch, or if a bank
gives way.
• Do not cut wet grass. It is slippery and the tyres
can loose their grip so that the machine slides.
• Do not try to stabilise the machine by placing
one foot on the ground.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the driver does not
pay attention to children in the vicinity. Children are
often attracted to the machine and the work of
mowing. Never assume that children stay where
you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the mowing area and
under the close supervision of another adult.
• Be on your guard and switch off the machine if
children come into the work area.
• Before and during reversing look behind and
down for small children.
• Never allow children to ride on the machine.
They can fall off and become seriously injured or
obstruct a risky manoeuvre of the machine.
• Never allow children to drive the machine.
• Be extra careful close to corners, bushes, trees
or other objects which obstruct your view.
Maintenance
• Petrol/gasoline and petrol/gasoline fumes are
toxic and highly inflammable. Be extra careful
when handling petrol/gasoline.
a. Store the fuel in containers approved for this
purpose.
b. Never fill up the machine with fuel when the
engine is running. Let the engine cool before
filling up with fuel. Do not smoke, or fill up with
fuel in the vicinity of naked flames or sparks.
c. Never fill up with fuel indoors.
d. If leakage has occurred in the fuel system the
engine must not be started until this is rectified.
e. Never store the machine or fuel containers
indoors if there are naked flames, such as in a
boiler room or where there is electrical equipment which can emit sparks.
• Check the fuel level each time before using the
machine, and leave space for the fuel to expand
since the heat from the engine and hot sun can
cause the fuel to run over.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep children away from the mowing area.
Never allow children to drive the machine.
Never fill up with fuel indoors.
6 – English
• Avoid overfilling. If fuel has been spilt on the
Rider wipe it up and wait until it has evaporated
before starting the engine. If fuel is spilt on
clothes, change them.
• Be extra careful when handling battery acid.
Spilling acid on the skin can cause severe burn
injuries. Rinse immediately with water. If acid
gets into the eyes this can cause blindness.
Contact a doctor.
• Be careful with the maintenance of the battery.
Explosive gas is formed in the battery. Never
handle the battery when smoking or in the
vicinity of naked flames or sparks. Otherwise the
battery can explode and cause severe injuries.
• Never drive the machine in an enclosed space.
The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
an odourless, non coloured, toxic and fatal gas.
• Make sure that bolts and nuts, especially attachment bolts for the blade units are properly
tightened and that the equipment is in good
order.
• Never alter the safety devices. Check regularly
that they function. The machine must not be
driven with defective or unmounted safety
devices.
• Do not alter the setting of the governor and do
not race the engine.
• Reduce the fire risk. Keep the machine clean
from grass, leaves and other refuse which
fastens in it. Allow the machine to cool before
placing it in the storage area.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you drive over
an object. If necessary repair the machine
before starting.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.
• The machine is tested for safety and approved
only for equipment supplied or recommended by
the manufacturer.
• The blades are sharp and can cause cutting
injuries. Wrap over the blades or use protective
gloves when handling them.
• Check the functioning of the brakes regularly.
Adjust and maintain them as necessary.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never smoke in the vicinity of the battery or the fuel.
Never drive the machine in an enclosed space.
Clean the machine regularly from grass, leaves and
other waste.

Throttle and Choke lever
The engine speed is adjusted with the throttle
control, and thereby also the rotation speed of the
blades.
The control is also used to activate the choke
function. When the choke is used the engine
receives a richer mixture of fuel and air, which
simplifies cold start.
PRESENTATION
Brake pedal / Parking brake
The brake pedal activates a disc brake which is
placed on the gearbox and brakes the drive wheels.
When braking the clutch pedal should also be
pushed down to achieve best braking power.
The brake pedal also operates as a parking brake if
the lock button is pressed in when the pedal is
pressed.
Clutch pedal
The clutch pedal disengages the engine and stops
forward movement.
The blades are
not
affected by the clutch pedal.
