Safety regulations

Special instructions

The fuel used in the ride-on mower has the
following hazardous characteristics:
• Toxic fluid and fumes
• Can cause eye and skin complaints
• Can cause breathing difficulties
• Highly flammable
When using compressed air, do not direct the
compressed air stream towards your, or anybody
else's, body. Air can be forced into the blood
stream, thereby constituting a danger to life .
Use eye protection when working with tensioned
springs.
Use hearing protectors when test driving.
After test driving, do not touch the silencer before
it has cooled down. Risk of burn injuries. This
especially applies if the ride-on mower is
equipped with a catalytic converter. If consumed,
the lining on and in the catalytic converter ele-
ment is dangerous to health. Use protective
gloves when working with the catalytic converter/
silencer.
The blades are sharp and can cause cutting
injuries. Always use protective gloves when you
are handling the blades.
Use protective glasses when working with the
mowing deck. If the belt's tension spring comes
off and flies upwards, this can cause injury to
persons.
Use eye protection when working with the battery
with the plugs removed. Be extra careful when
handling battery acid. Spilling acid on the skin can
cause severe burn injuries. If acid is spilt on the
skin, rinse immediately with water. If acid gets into
the eyes, this can cause blindness, contact a
doctor.
Be careful with the maintenance of the battery.
Explosive gas is formed in the battery. Never
handle the battery when smoking or in the vicinity
of naked flames or sparks. Otherwise, the battery
can explode and cause severe injuries.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Waste oil and old filters shall be handled
as hazardous waste.
