2. Before Mowing:
• Never mow without wearing sturdy footwear and long trousers:
Never mow barefoot or in open sandals.
• Attach the bafe provided and/or grass box. Make certain that it is
rmly tted. Operation without or with damaged protective equip-
ment is forbidden.
• Examine the area on which the machine is to be used and remove
all objects which are capable of being contacted or thrown by the
mower or its blade.
• Check the machine to make certain that all fasteners, bolts & nuts
are tightly tted; for check also for signs of damage or serious
wear.
• Observe the installation instructions when replacing parts - if in
doubt always refer to your WOLF Service Centre.
• Examine the grass box regularly for wear or damage - replace as
necessary.
• Mowers tted with four-stroke engines must be provided with
engine oil before the rst start-up (see „Filling Oil”).
• Check the oil level before each use.
WARNING - petrol is highly inammable! Do not smoke. Do not
refuel in any area where there may be a naked ame.
• Keep fuel only in purpose-designed containers.
• Only refuel outdoors.
•
Pour in fuel (REGULAR GRADE FUEL) before starting the engine.
• Always rmly tighten petrol ller cap.
• Do not refuel or remove the tank ller cap while the engine is run-
ning or when the machine is hot.
• Do not attempt to start the engine if gasoline spills out. Instead, the
machine should be removed from the area where the petrol was
spilled. Any attempt to start the mower should be delayed until the
fuel vapours have evaporated.
• Replace the engine exhaust silencer if defective.
•
Before use a visual inspection should also be made in order to determine
whether the blade, fasteners and the mower deck are worn or damaged.
In order to avoid damaging vibration caused by imbalance, worn out or
damaged blades and ttings must only be replaced as a set.
•
For safety reasons the fuel ller cap must be replaced when damaged.
•
Check the fuel line connections, air lter ttings, etc.. for tightness.
3. When starting the engine:
• Only start the engine if your hands and feet are at safe distance
from the mower deck and blade.
• Before you start the engine, disengage the drive.
• When starting or switching on the engine the lawn mower must not
be tilted, unless the lawn mower must be raised for the procedure.
In this case, you tilt it only so far as is absolutely necessary and
only raise the side turned away from the operator.
• Do not let the engine run in closed areas in which dangerous car-
bon monoxide may accumulate.
• Start the mower on an even surface, not in tall grass.
• Do not start the engine if you are standing in front of the discharge
channel.
4. When Mowing – For Your Safety:
• WARNING, DANGER! Rotating blade!
• Do not attempt to touch the blade when it is running.
•
Observe the safety distance provided by the handlebars and bail arms.
•
Only start the engine if your feet are at a safe distance from the blade.
• Make certain that you have a secure foothold, particularly on
slopes. Never run, always walk calmly.
•
Always mow slopes along the contours, not up and down the slope.
• Particular care is required on slopes as you change direction.
•
Be particularly careful when you turn the mower and pull it towards you.
•
Switch off the mower, if you tilt it, run it dry or when transporting it.
• Never use the lawn mower with damaged protection guards, safety
devices or grilles or without the protection devices attached, e.g.
bafe plates and/or grass box.
• Do not change the governor adjustment of the engine or attempt to
adjust it.
•
The blade must be stopped if the lawn mower is moved off the lawn.
• Before you raise or carry the mower switch off the engine off and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop.
Safety instructions
13
• Adjust the cutting height only with the engine switched off and with
the blade at a standstill.
• Never open the protection ap if the engine is still running.
• Before removing the grass box: Turn off the engine and wait for the
blade to stop. Carefully ret the grass box after emptying.
• Never drive over gravel with the engine running - stones can be
thrown by contact with the blade!
• Where possible, do not mow in wet grass. If the mower appears to
have blocked, turn off the engine, remove the spark plug lead and
wait until the blade comes to a standstill if, for example:
- to free a blockage in the ejection channel
- to examine or clean the mower
- if a foreign body is encountered. Check whether mower deck or
blade have been damaged. Then correct or repair the damage
before recommencing mowing.
- if the mower strongly vibrates from imbalance (then switch off
immediately and look for the cause).
•
NOTE: Danger when grass box equipment is inappropriately handled.
•
If the mower is a self-propelled version then release the drive clutch
bail before you switch on the engine. Do not touch engine or exhaust
during or shortly after operation. Hot parts can lead to burns or pro-
voke frightened movements which may lead to injuries.
• Turn the engine off if you the leave the lawn mower unattended and
before you refuel.
5. After working:
• The throttle should be closed before switching off the engine. If the
engine is equipped with a petrol shut-off valve then this be closed
after mowing has been completed.
• Do not leave the mower in closed areas after switching off - allow
it to cool off in the open air before storing away.
• Never keep the machine with petrol in the tank within a building in
which gasoline vapours may possibly come into contact with naked
ames or sparks. Before leaving the mower remove the spark plug
lead and - if tted - the starting key.
• Lifting and carrying the mower for transport:
•
Never attempt to lift the mower with the engine running - nor with a hot
engine - always remove the spark plug lead before lifting or carrying.
• When folding the mower handlebars, detach starter rope and make
certain that the control cables are not snagged or stretched when
folding or unfolding.
• Always carry out the engine oil change with the fuel tank empty and
ller cap tted. The engine should be warmed up prior to draining
the oil to ensure all sludge deposits are drained away with the oil.
6. Maintenance
• Regularly examine all xing bolts and nuts, particularly those of the
cutter bar, for tightness.
•
Maintenance and cleaning of the equipment as well as removing the
protection device may only be performed with the engine stopped
and the spark plug lead and - if available - the starting key, removed.
Note information on the chassis before cleaning and oil change!
• Make certain that all nuts, pins and screws are rmly tightened and
that the unit is in a safe operating condition.
• In order to avoid the risk of re keep the engine, exhaust, battery
box and the area around the fuel tank free of grass, leaves or oil.
• If the equipment must be tilted for maintenance work the
n the fuel must be completely drained from the tank beforehand.
• Clean the equipment after each use with a hand-brush - not with
water and do not hose down with a high pressure hose in particu-
lar. Make certain to keep the engine cooling ns and engine cooling
air intake clean and free from debris.
• Do not place the equipment in damp areas, near naked ames or
where a spark might ignite petrol vapour.
• If the fuel tank is to be emptied then this should be done outdoors.
Make sure that no fuel is spilled.
• For safety reasons replace worn out or damaged parts.
• NOTE! Always have blades replaced or sharpened by a WOLF
Service Centre, as a blade balance test must be performed in
accordance with safety regulations and the blade retaining bolt
must be tightened to a specied torque.
• Wear suitable work gloves when carrying out the above work,
especially when handling the blade.
