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 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 element 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.
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.
