hazardous properties:
• T he fluid and its vapor are toxic.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause respiratory problems.
• H ighly flammable.
When using compressed air, do not direct the air jet
toward your body. Air can penetrate into the blood

During testing, do not touch the muffler before it has
cooled down. Risk of burns. This is especially true if
the Rider is equipped with a catalytic converter. The

toxic for consumption. Use protective gloves when
working on the catalytic converter/muffler.
The blades are sharp and can give cut injuries. Use
protective gloves when handling the blades.
Use eye protection when working on the cutting
unit. The belt tensioning spring can break, fly off
and could cause personal injury.
Use eye protection while you are working with the
battery. Take care when handling battery acid. Acid
on skin can cause serious burns. In the event of
spillage on the skin, wash immediately with water.
Acid in eyes can result in blindness, seek medical
aid.
Be careful when servicing the battery. Explosive
gases are formed in the battery. Never carry out
service on the battery while smoking or in the
vicinity of naked flames or sparks. The battery can
then explode and cause serious injury.
