Make sure that there are no other people (especially children) or animals anywhere near the working area.

Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete Stopp and, where a key is fitted remove the key: after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the lawnmower.

Never use the mower when it is raining or in damp or wet conditions.

Please observe any local restrictions or noise levels.

Petrol engine notes:

Warning! Fuel is highly inflammable. Fuel must be stored only in containers authorised for the purpose. The fuel must be filled only outdoors; do not smoke during filling. Fill with petrol prior to use; the petrol cap must not be removed and no petrol may be added if the engine is running or is hot. If petrol is spilled during filling, the engine must not be started until the spilled petrol has been wiped up and the mower has been removed from the area where the fuel

was spilled. You must not attempt to start the engine until the petrol vapours have dissipated.

To avoid the danger of fire, keep the engine and exhaust free from grass, leaves, grease or oil and away from combustible materials.

There is danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not let the engine run in closed spaces.

When filling with petrol and oil, ensure that no foreign bodies (e. g. grass) get into the engine.

Always check the oil level before mowing.

For security reasons, replace the tank lid if damaged.

Never store a mower with fuel in the tank in a room where petrol fumes could come into contact with an open flame.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut down and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.)

vFollow the enclosed engine operating instructions.

When mowing with the mulch unit the cut grass is returned to the grass as a self fertiliser and there are no waste lawn clippings.

Mowing tips:	If grass residue is left in the discharge opening, pull mower
	backwards about 1 m so that the grass residue can drop out
	downwards.
	To produce a well-maintained lawn. we recommend cutting the
	lawn regularly once a week if possible. The lawn becomes thicker
	if cut frequently.
	After relatively long intervals between mowing (holiday lawn),
	first of all cut in one direction with the cutting height as high as
	possible, then cut in the crosswise direction at the cutting
	height required.
	If possible, only cut the grass when it is dry, if the grass is damp,
	the cutting pattern will be uneven.
Mulching tips:	You will achieve the best mulching results by cutting the grass
	regularly once or twice a week depending on the amount the
	grass has grown.
	For mulching the grass must be mown no more than 1/3 of
	its height. The cut height must be set at 4 cm at least (for
	very dense grass the cut height may have to be set higher).
	So that the grass mulch can rot down properly, mulch when the
	grass is as dry as possible. Mulching is not recommended for
	lawns with a great deal of moss or very matted grass. The moss
	and weeds must be removed by scarifying.
