Special Instructions
The fuel used in the ride-on mower has the following
hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its vapor are toxic.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause breathing problems.
• Is highly flammable.
When using compressed air, do not direct the jet toward your
body. Air can penetrate into the blood circulation, which can
be fatal.
Use eye protection when working with tensioned springs.
Use hearing protection during testing.
During testing, do not touch the muffler before it has cooled
down. Risk of burns. This is especially true if the ride-on
mower is equipped with a catalytic converter. The coatings on
and in the catalytic converter element are hazardous to
ingest. Use protective gloves when working with the
converter/muffler.
The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and gashes. Use
protective gloves when handling the blades.
Use eye protection when working with the cutting unit. The
belt tensioning spring can break, fly off and could cause
personal injury.
Use eye protection when working with the battery with the
plugs removed. Be especially careful when handling battery
acid. Acid on the skin can cause serious corrosive injuries. In
the event of spillage on the skin, wash 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
while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or sparks. This
can cause the battery to explode and cause serious injuries.
IMPORTANT!
Waste oil and used oil filters shall be handled as
environmentally hazardous waste.
