4.2 Refilling the tank – handling petrol

Petrol must only be stored in appropriate,
tested containers (canisters). Always
screw on the fuel tank and canister caps
properly and tightly. Defective caps must
be replaced for safety reasons.

Never use beverage bottles or similar for
disposal or storage of fuels and lubricants.
Persons, particularly children, could be
tempted to drink out of them.

Keep petrol away from sparks,
naked flames, pilot lights, heat
sources, and other ignition
sources. Do not smoke!

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.

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.

Never store the machine with petrol in the
tank inside a building. The resulting petrol
fumes could come into contact with naked
flames or sparks and could be ignited.

If it is necessary to drain the tank, this must
be done out of doors.

4.3 Clothing and equipment

Always wear sturdy footwear
with high-grip soles when
working. Never work barefoot

or, for example, in sandals.

Also always wear sturdy gloves
and tie up and secure long hair
(headscarf, cap, etc.) when
performing maintenance and

cleaning work or when transporting the
machine.

Wear suitable safety glasses
when sharpening the mowing
blade.

Always wear long trousers and

tight-fitting clothing when operating the
machine.

Never wear loose clothes which may
become caught on moving parts (control
levers) – do not wear jewellery, ties or
scarves.

4.4 Transporting the machine

Always wear gloves in order to prevent
injuries due to sharp-edged and hot
components.

Do not transport the machine with the
engine running. Switch off the engine, let
the blades come to a standstill and remove
the spark plug socket prior to transport.

Only transport the machine once the
engine has cooled down and with an
empty fuel tank.

Use suitable loading aids (loading ramps,
lifters).

Secure the machine on the load floor using
adequately dimensioned fastening
materials (straps, ropes, etc.).

Avoid contact with the mowing blade when
lifting and carrying the machine.

Observe the information in the section
"Transport". It describes how to lift and
lash the machine. (

13.)

When transporting the machine, always
observe regional legislation, especially
regarding load security and the transport
of objects on load floors.

4.5 Before operation

Make sure that only persons who are
familiar with the instruction manual are
permitted to use the machine.

Check the fuel system (particularly visible
parts such as e.g. tank, tank cap, hose
connections) before operating the
machine. In the event of any leaks or
damage, do not start the engine –
