Sources of danger
The
2-wheel tractor may be used on both commercial and private properties in ac-
cordance with road traffic laws.
•
Check that the unit is safe to operate and to be used in traffic each time before putting it into
operation!
•
Observe the generally applicable regulations for safety and the prevention of accidents in
addition to the instructions in this operating manual!
•
When using the
2-wheel tractor on public roads, the stipulations of the respective na-
tional road traffic laws (in Germany: StVZO) in their current versions apply.
•
Familiarise yourself with all devices and controls as well as their functions before starting
work. Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly! Doing so during
the work assignment is too late!
•
The user is responsible for the safety of third parties in the working area!
•
It is forbidden to enter or remain in the working and danger area of the
2-wheel trac-
tor!
•
Before starting up, check the immediate vicinity - children!
•
Ensure that your field of view and the lighting conditions are adequate!
•
The driver should wear tight-fitting clothes. Avoid loose-fitting clothes. Wear sturdy shoes!
•
Do not leave the engine running in closed rooms – the exhaust gases are harmful to health
and may under certain circumstances lead to death!
•
Be careful when handling fuel – increased risk of fire! Never refill the fuel tank in the prox-
imity of open flames, igniting sparks and hot engine parts. Do not smoke when refuelling!
•
Before refuelling, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key (if one exists). Do not
refuel in closed rooms – risk of explosion!
•
Use a suitable pouring aid (e.g. a funnel). If possible, refuel only in the open air with the
engine switched off and cold.
•
Do not spill fuel – risk of fire!
•
If you have spilt fuel, clean all parts and push the motor mower away from this place before
starting it.
•
Do not inhale petrol vapours – risk of cancer due to benzene content; use lead-free and ben-
zene-free petrol if possible – refer also to the engine manufacturer’s operating manual!
•
In order to avoid the risk of fire, keep the tractor clean!
•
Be careful when handling brake fluids and battery acid – they are toxic and caustic!
•
Switch off the engine and pull off the spark plug cap before performing maintenance and
cleaning work.
•
Particular caution is necessary when coupling or uncoupling attached tools to or from the
tractor!
•
Make sure that all protective devices have been attached properly!
