• 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.
• The Rider lawn mower must never be driven
close to an edge or ditch when cleaning the
chassis.
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 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 an otherwise safe manoeuvre of the
machine.
• Never allow children to steer the machine.
• Be extra careful close to corners, bushes, trees
or other objects which obstruct your view.
Maintenance
• Petrol and petrol fumes are toxic and highly
inflammable. Be extra careful when handling
petrol.
• Store the fuel in containers approved for this

• Never fill up the machine with petrol when the
engine is running. Let the engine cool before
filling up with petrol. Do not smoke, or fill up with
fuel in the vicinity of naked flames or sparks.
• Never fill up with fuel indoors.
• If leakage has occurred in the fuel system the
engine must not be started until this is rectified.
• Never store the machine or fuel containers
indoors if there are naked flames, such as in a
boiler room or where there is electrical equip-
ment which can emit sparks.
• Check the fuel level each time before using the
