–Hold the steering wheel tightly so that the
device does not swerve.
Only park the device on flat surfaces.
The drive has good braking efficiency which
can only provide sufficient grip on a non-slip
surface.
If the mower starts to slide you can regain
control by actuating the brake. Uncontrolled
handling is due to:
–poor tire grip.
–speeding.
–abrupt braking.
–an inappropriate task for the device.
–poor knowledge of the area.
–slope angles that are too steep.
Risk of tilting
If the wheels facing uphill encounter obstacles
such as roots, branches, rocks, bumps, etc.,
the mower can tilt or slide.
When loading the transport rack, there is an
increased tipping hazard. Observe the notices
regarding the transport rack.
Keep in mind that all attachments and extra
loads increase the tilting hazard.
Risk of slipping
When the ground is wet or loose, use extreme
caution to prevent the mower from slipping.
Use extreme caution when moving downhill.
On cut plant material, no matter if wet or dry,
the risk of slipping is high.
Mowing surfaces with fire hazard
–Carry a sufficient amount of suitable extin-
guishing agent.
–If side inclination is too great, fuel may leak
from the carburetor or the tank. This poses a
fire hazard!
–Observe the mowed surface also after mov-
ing is completed to ensure that no fire will
start.
To avoid risk of fire, keep the following compo-
nents free of dirt, grass, hay, leaking oil,
grease, etc:
–Engine
–Silencer (manifold, guard, clearances)
–Battery
–Area around the fuel tank
Caution when using accessories
Be careful when pulling loads:
–Only use tow-bars authorized by
“AS-Motor Germany”.
–Observe the maximum load carrying capaci-
ty (Technical data).
–Observe the safety instructions in the oper-
ating instructions of the tow-bar.
–Only transport loads that you can handle
safely.
–Only drive on slopes up to 10°.
–Do not take tight corners.
–Be extremely cautious when moving in
reverse.
After mowing, always close the fuel valve and
the tank ventilation.
Prior to leaving the device, wait until the engine
comes to a standstill and pull off the ignition
key.
After switching it off, let the device cool down
for at least 20 minutes before you store it in a
dry, closed, sufficiently ventilated room.
Never store the device when there is fuel in the
tank inside a building where fuel vapours might
come into contact with open fire or sparks.
