GB
– Always remain at that distance to the mower
which is maintained by the handle bar of the lawn
mower.
– If the lawnmower is to be lifted in order to transport
it, or areas covered with something other
than grass are to be crossed and when you are
transporting the lawnmower to and from the area
you wish to mow turn off the engine and wait until
the cutting tools have come to a stil stand.
– Never lift or carry the lawnmower when the
engine is running.
– Never use the lawnmower if the safety devices are
missing or defective, e.g. the safe guard,
baffle plate and/or grass gathering equipment.
Only use a grass gathering attachment if its proper
assembly and its condition can be checked,
or if the grass ejection flap is shut and positioned
close to the lawnmower.
– Do not change the base settings of the engine.
Whilst you are starting the lawnmower, make sure
that the lawnmower is in neutral.
– When you start the machine, make sure that your
feet are a sufficiently safe distance away from the
cutting blades.
– When you start the engine, the machine must not
be lying on its side or in a slanting position, but,
must only be slanted to such a degree if necessary,
that the cutting tools are pointing away
from the person using the machine.
– Never put your hands or feet near or under
moving parts. Always make sure that your hands
or feet do not get under the housing.
– Turn the engine off and remove the spark plug
socket:
– before you check, clean or perform any work
on the lawnmower,
– before you remove any blockages or any items
clogging up the ejection chute.
If the lawnmower becomes blocked, e.g. gy
driving onto a obstacle, an expert must check
whether parts of the lawnmower have been
damaged or deformed.
If the lawnmower starts to vibrate more than usual,
it must be checked immediately.
– The engine must be switched off:
– if you have to lift or tilt the lawnmower, e.g. in
order to transport it,
– if you are driving it outside a grassy area;
– if you are going to leave the machine
unattended for a few minutes;
– if you wish to change the cutting height;
– before you re-fill the tank.
Maintenance and storage
– Please ensure that all screws have been tightened
securely.
– The ejection flap, the safety attachments and
the grass collection sack may only be opened or
removed when the engine is turned off.
– Never store a lawnmower which still has petrol in
it, inside a building where petrol fumes could pos-
24
sibly come into contact with open fire or sparks or
where they could ignite.
– Always allow the engine to cool down before you
store the lawnmower in a closed room.
– In order to prevent a fire, please keep grass,
leaves or leaking grease (oil) away from the
engine, sound isulation, battery box and petrol
tank.
– Always check the grass collecting system at r
egular intervals for wear and tear or loss of
function.
– Always check the condition and tightness of the
blade prior to mowing.
– For reasons of safety, always replace worn or
damaged parts.
– Protective gloves must be worn at all times during
maintenance and cleaning work.
– Maintenance and cleaning jobs may only be
carried out if the engine has been turned off and
the spark plug sockets have been removed.
– Do not clean the lawnmower with running water or
pressure cleaners.
– If the tank needs to be emptied, you must do this
in the open. Please catch the petrol in suitable
containers.
– For reasons of safety and guarantees, only
original JOHN DEERE parts may be used.
