• Refill the tank out-of-doors and do not smoke during refilling.

• Before refilling the tank, stop the engine and allow it to cool.

• Refilling with petrol must be performed before the engine is started. When the engine is running or is hot, the tank cap must not be removed, and

the tank must not be refilled with petrol.

• Open the fuel tank cap slowly and carefully. Wait for pressure compensation and only then remove the tank cap completely.

• Use a suitable funnel or filling pipe for refilling the tank, so that no fuel can spill onto the engine and housing or the lawn.

• DO NOT OVERFILL THE FUEL TANK!

• To give the fuel room to expand, never fill the fuel tank past the lower edge of the filler neck. Observe the additional instructions in the engine

instruction manual.

• If petrol is spilled, the engine must only be started after the petrol contaminated area has been cleaned. All attempts at starting must be avoided

until the petrol fumes have dispersed (wipe dry).

• Any spilt fuel must be wiped up immediately.

• Clothing must be changed if it comes into contact with petrol.

• Following each refilling of the tank, the fuel tank cap must be properly screwed on and tightened. The machine must not be operated without the

original tank cap.

• For safety reasons, the fuel line, fuel tank, tank cap and connections must be checked regularly for damage, ageing (brittleness), firm seating and

leaks. Replace if necessary.

Working on Slopes

•

Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in which control over the ride-on mower is lost causing it to

tip over, which can result in severe or even fatal injuries.

•

There is no safe slope! Driving on grassy slopes requires special concentration. For safety reasons, the

machine must not be used on slopes with an inclination of more than 10° (17.6 %). Risk of injury!

•

A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical height increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal

distance.

•

Starting off or stopping on a gradient must be avoided.

•

Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches, etc.) where the ride-on mower can tip over or slide. The

danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the ground is soft or damp.

•

Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction. Driving transversely increases the danger of tipping

over.

•

Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driving on slopes. Work in this type of situation requires

calm, cautious, and even operation of the ride-on mower.

•

Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided. Only turn on slopes if this is unavoidable. If possible, drive

slowly and in a large curve in the down-slope direction.

•

Do not mow wet grass, particularly on slopes, as wheel grip is reduced on wet grass. The ride-on mower

could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.

•

The gearbox must never be disengaged via the gearbox freewheel when driving on slopes.

•

Special care must be taken when operating attachments on slopes (altered weight distribution of the

machine).

•

If the wheels start to slip or if the vehicle becomes stuck in the up-slope direction when driving on an incline,

the mowing blade or the attachment must be disengaged. Then leave the slope by driving slowly downhill in

a straight line.

•

Never try to stabilise the ride-on mower by pressing on the ground with your foot.

•

The weight of the grass catcher box increases the danger of the ride-on mower tipping over, particularly

when it is full.

•

Never empty or lift the grass catcher box on an incline.

Stopping and Parking

•

The ride-on mower must only be parked on a level surface. Make sure that the ride-on mower has come to a

complete standstill before you dismount.

•

Beware of the cutting tool running on for several seconds before coming to a standstill.

•

Before leaving the driver’s seat, disengage the mowing blade or the drive to the attachments, lower the

mowing deck and all attachments, set all control levers to the neutral position, engage the parking brake,

stop the engine, and remove the ignition key.

•

Keep the ignition key in a place where only authorised persons can access it.

Tips for Proper Mowing

•

Pay attention to ensure that you do not run into or over anything that could damage the mower. The lawn

mower could be damaged and/or the machine could inflict bodily injury.

•

A hot engine, exhaust or drive unit can burn the skin if touched. Thus, do not touch these parts unless the

mower has been switched off for a while and you know that they have cooled down!

•

Insufficient daylight or even an insufficient level of artificial light is one reason not to mow.

•

Check the mower, the blade, and other parts if they have struck a foreign object or if the machine vibrates

more than usual.

•

Do not make any adjustments or repairs until the engine has been switched off. Pull the plug boot (22).

•

Pay special attention if you are mowing directly next to a street or are close by one (traffic). Always keep the

grass chute pointed away from the street.

•

Avoid mowing in places where the wheels have trouble gripping or mowing is unsafe in any other way.

•

Before you back up, ensure that nobody is standing behind you especially little children, who are more

difficult to see.

•

When mowing over thick, high grass, select the highest cutting level and mow at a slower speed.

•

Before you remove any grass or blockages of any kind, switch off he engine and pull the plug boot.

•

Never remove any safety-related parts.

•

Never fill the engine with petrol when it is hot or is running.

Mowing

WARNING: • Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower. • Carefully read

the safety instructions of this manual before using the lawnmower. • Never open the ejector flap when

the grass catcher has been detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still running. The rotating blade

can cause serious injuries!

1. Select your required setting.

2. Start the engine and allow it to run and set it to required speed. See Starting the Engine.

3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with engine stop/start lever and drive lever (clutch lever) dosed and

walk along with its self-propelling to start mowing.

When Mowing:

•

Walk. never run with the mower. be very careful when mowing uneven or rough ground.

•

Mow across slopes. never up and down.

•

Be careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.

•

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Note: Grass clippings can clog underneath the mower deck, preventing the blades from turning. This

can overheat the engine, causing excessive wear to engine components, reducing the lawn mower's

overall lifespan or catastrophic failure of engine bearings and pistons.

Clogging occurs if you mow wet, long, or lush grass. For the best result, mow when the grass is dry

and use a whipper snipper to reduce the height of grass longer than 15cm (6”) before mowing on the

highest cutting setting.

•

Grass grows at different rates at different time of the year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut

of the season or in drought conditions.

•

Only about one thirds of the grass height should be cut.

•

When mowing with the mulching function, do not cut high or wet grass to ensure that the cut grass can be

scattered efficiently. When you have been cutting for several minutes, please stop the mower, and clean the

blade and the deck.

•

Do not remove grass debris in the mower casing or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead, use

suitable tools such as a brush or broom.

•

Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from fraying and the lawn

from turning yellow.

•

Try to mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. In so doing, the mowing swaths should always overlap

each other by a few centimetres to avoid bare strips.

•

Keep the underside of the mower housing clean and remove grass build-up. Deposits not only make it more

difficult to start the mower; they decrease the quality of the cut and make it harder for the machine to bag the

grass.

•

Always mow along inclines (not up and down). Slightly turning the front wheels up, the hill while mowing will

prevent the mower from sliding out of the straight line.

•

Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If the lawn has grown quite a bit, mow over it

several times so that no more than 4 cm of grass are cut at one time.

•

Switch off the engine before doing any checks on the blade.

•

Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has been switched off.

Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if the blade is securely attached, is in good

condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or replace it.

•

If the blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the lawn mower and wait for the blade to come to a

complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that are

damaged.

Emptying the Grass Catcher while Seated

1. Drive to the location where you would like to empty the

catch bucket.

2. Depress the brake pedal (3) completely.

3. Shut off the cutter (8).

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

6. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged on the initial charge and for each subsequent charge.

7. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

8. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again.

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat, for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.

Maintenance

ATTENTION: Surface corrosion will occur on metal surfaces over time and the rate of oxidation depends

on factors such as proximity to the ocean and humidity or condensation of water vapour on metal

surfaces. To mitigate this, WD40 can be used to remove surface corrosion then, when applied

periodically, it will prevent rust from forming.

Maintenance and Repairs

Before beginning cleaning, adjustment, repair, and maintenance operations, park the machine on firm, level

ground, engage the parking brake, stop the engine, allow it to cool down and remove the ignition key.

Allow the machine to cool down before working on or around the engine, exhaust manifold or muffler; this also

applies in particular to all maintenance operations on the mowing deck. Temperatures of 80 °C and above can

be reached.

DANGER OF BURNS! DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENGINE OIL CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENGINE OIL MUST

NOT BE SPILLED.

Cleaning

Following operation, the entire ride-on mower and the attachments must be cleaned. In particular, all grass

residues must be removed because the moisture these contain leads to damage in the long term.

Clean the device with water as follows:

1. Place the hose connection piece onto the water connection (6) of the mower and open the tap.

2. Start the mower and switch off again after about 30 seconds. The rotating blade bar throws the water onto

the bottom of the mower and thus cleans it.

3. Turn off he tap and remove the hose connection.

4. Clean the top with a cloth (do not use any sharp objects).

Note: Dirt and grass are easiest to remove immediately after you have finished mowing the grass. Dried

grass and dirt can result in poorer mowing performance. Check that the grass chute is free of any

residual grass. Remove any such residue. Never clean the lawn mower with a water jet or high-pressure

cleaner. The engine must remain dry. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as cold cleaner or

petroleum ether. Never drive close to an edge or a ditch for the purpose of cleaning (e.g., the frame of)

the ride-on mower. In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the engine, cooling ribs, battery compartment,

area around the fuel tank and exhaust free from grass, leaves or escaping oil (or grease). Always clean

the grass catcher box.

Maintenance Operations

•

Only maintenance operations described in this in manual may be carried out. Have all other work performed

by a specialist dealer. If you do not have the necessary expertise or auxiliary equipment, please always

contact a specialist dealer.

We recommend: Have maintenance work and repairs completed by specialist dealers only.

•

The ride-on mower and all attachments should be inspected once annually by a specialist dealer.
