• Make sure that the forward and reverse pedals are
not blocked and can be operated freely.
• Make sure that the speed decreases when the
forward pedal is released.
To do a check of the brake pedal, R112C5
For R112C5 the parking brake pedal is also the service
brake.
• Make sure that the speed decreases when you press
the brake pedal.
• Make sure that the brake pedal is not blocked and
can be operated freely.
Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.

attached correctly and not damaged.
CAUTION: The muffler becomes very hot
during and after use and when the engine
operates at idle speed. Be careful near
8516 - 001 - 26.01.2018

flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent
fire.
Parking brake
WARNING: If the parking brake does not
work, the product can start to move and
cause injury or damage. Make sure that the
parking brake is regularly examined and
adjusted.
See To do a check of the parking brake on page 19 .
Protective covers
Missing or damaged protective covers increase the risk
of injury on moving parts and hot surfaces. Do a check
of the protective covers before you operate the product.
Make sure that the protective covers are correctly
attached and do not have cracks or other damages.
Replace damaged covers.
To cut grass on slopes
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• To cut grass on slopes increases the risk that you
can not control the product and that it overturns. This
can cause injury or death. It is necessary to cut the
grass carefully on all slopes. If you cannot reverse
up a slope or if you do not feel safe, do not cut it.
• Remove stones, branches and other obstacles.
• Cut up and down the slope, not from side to side.
• Do not move down a slope with the cutting deck
lifted.
• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.
• Do not start or stop on a slope.
• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Do not turn more than necessary. Turn slowly and
gradually when you move down a slope. Move at low
speed. Turn the wheel carefully.
• Look out for and do not move across furrows, holes
and bumps. There is a higher risk that the product
overturns on ground that is not flat. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks. The
product can suddenly overturn if a wheel moves
across the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an
edge gives way. If the product falls into water, there
is a risk of drowning.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tires can
lose their grip so that the product skids.
• Do not put your foot on the ground to try to make the
product more stable.
• Move very carefully if an accessory or other object is
attached that can make the product less stable.
Fuel safety
WARNING: Be careful with fuel. It is very
flammable, and can cause injury and
damage to property.
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Do not fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Gasoline and gasoline fumes are poisonous and
very flammable. Be careful with gasoline to prevent
injury or fire.
• Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank
when the engine is on.
• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.
• Do not smoke when you fill fuel.
• Do not fill fuel near sparks or naked flames.
• If there are leaks in the fuel system, do not start the
engine until the leaks are repaired.
• Do not fill above recommended fuel level. The heat
from the engine and the sun makes the fuel expand
and the fuel overflows if the tank is filled too much.
• Do not fill too much. If you spill fuel on the product,
clean up the spill and wait until it is dry before you
start the engine. If you spill on your clothing, change
it.
• Store fuel in approved containers only.
• Store the product and fuel in such a way that there is
no risk that fuel leaks or fumes can cause damage.
516 - 001 - 26.01.2018 9
