SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Driving on Slopes
Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk is greatest that the driver will lose control or the machine will tip over, which can result in serious injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot reverse up a slope or if you feel unsure, do not mow the slope.
Do as follows
Remove obstacles such as stones,
tree branches, etc.
Mow up and down, not side-to-side.
Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes more
than 10°.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tires
begin to slip, shut down the blades and drive slowly down the slope.
Always drive evenly and slowly on slopes.
Make no sudden changes in speed or direction.
Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if it
proves necessary, turn slowly and gradually downward, if possible.
Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows,
holes, and bumps. On uneven terrain, the machine can tip more easily. Long grass can hide obstacles.
Drive slowly. Use small movements of the
steering controls.
Be extra cautious with any additional
equipment, which can alter the machine’s stability.
Do not mow near verges, ditches, or banks.
The machine can suddenly spin around if a wheel goes over the edge of a drop or ditch, or if an edge gives way.
Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and the
tires can lose their grip, so that the machine slides.
Mow up and down, not side-to-side
Be extra cautious when driving on slopes
8003-004
8011-519
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blades and pro­ceed slowly straight down the slope.
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage
blades and back down slowly.
Try not to stabilize the machine by putting a foot
on the ground.
When cleaning the chassis, the machine may
never be driven near verges or ditches.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and
then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if pos­sible.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Children
Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be
on guard for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing work. Never assume that children will stay put where you last saw them.
Keep children away from the mowing area
and under close supervision by another adult.
Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if
children enter the work area.
Before and during a reversing maneuver,
look backward and downward for small children.
Never allow a child to ride with you. They can
fall off and injure themselves seriously or prevent risk-free maneuvering of the machine.
Never allow children to operate the machine
8011-517
Never allow children to operate the machine.
Be particularly cautious near corners,
bushes, trees, or other objects that block your view.
WARNING!
The engine must not be started when the driver’s floor plate or any protective plate for the mower deck’s drive belt is removed.
Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from
starting by removing the ignition key before making any adjustments or performing maintenance.
Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
Fuel and fuel fumes are poisonous and
extremely flammable. Be especially cautious when handling fuel, as carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.
Only store fuel in containers approved for the
purpose.
Never remove the fuel tank cap and never fill
the fuel tank while the engine is running.
Never fill the fuel tank indoors

8011-516
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Allow the engine to cool before refueling. Do
not smoke. Do not fill fuel in the vicinity of sparks or open flames.
If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine
must not be started until the problem has been resolved.
Store the machine and fuel in such a way that
there is no risk of leaking fuel or fuel vapor leading to damages.
Check the fuel level before each use and leave
space for the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and overflow.
WARNING!
The engine, the exhaust system, and the hydraulic system’s components become very warm during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Avoid overfilling. If you spill fuel on the machine,
wipe up the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the engine. If you have spilled fuel on your clothing, change your clothing.
Allow the machine to cool before taking any
actions in the engine compartment.
Be very careful when handling battery acid.
Acid on skin can cause serious corrosive burns. If you spill battery acid on your skin, rinse immediately with water.
Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact
a doctor immediately.
Be careful when servicing the battery.
Explosive gases form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the battery when smoking or near open flames or sparks. The battery can explode and cause serious injury/ damage.
Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments, are properly tightened and that the equipment is in good condition.
WARNING!
The battery contains lead and lead compounds, chemicals that are considered to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive system damage. Wash your hands after touching the battery.
Do not modify safety equipment. Check
regularly to be sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven with defective or unmounted protective plates, protective cowlings, safety switches, or other protective devices.
Do not change the settings of governors and
avoid running the engine with overly high engine speeds. If you run the engine too fast, you risk damaging the machine components.
8011-563
Do not smoke when performing maintenance on the battery. The battery can explode and cause serious injury/damage

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never use the machine indoors or in spaces
lacking proper ventilation. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous, and lethal gas.
Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over
or into anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
Never make adjustments with the engine
running.
The machine is tested and approved only with
the equipment originally provided or recommended by the manufacturer.
The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and
gashes. Wrap the blades or use protective gloves when handling them.
Check the parking brake’s functionality
regularly. Adjust and service as necessary.
The mulch deck shall only be used when
higher quality mowing is desired in familiar areas.
Never drive the machine in an enclosed space
8011-515
Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass,
leaves, and other debris that may have accumulated on the machine. Allow the machine to cool before putting it in storage.
Transport
The machine is heavy and can cause serious
crushing injuries. Be extra cautious when it is loaded on or unloaded from a vehicle or trailer.
Use an approved trailer to transport the
machine. Activate the parking brake, turn off the fuel supply, and fasten the machine with approved fastening devices, such as bands, chains, or ropes, when transporting.
Check and abide by local traffic regulations
before transporting or driving the machine on any road.
Clean the machine regularly
8011-514
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the machine in place during transport. Ensure that the machine is well fastened to the transport vehicle. Reverse the machine onto the transport vehicle to avoid tipping it over.
