Battery safety
In order to prevent sparks due to short circuiting, the
negative (–) cable must always be disconnected from
the battery first and reconnected last.
Never smoke when working on the battery. Sparks,
naked flames and other heat sources must be kept
away from the battery.
Particular care is necessary when using battery jump
leads. Observe the relevant instructions in order to
prevent damage to the ride-on mower (in particular,
actuate the starter for a maximum of 10 seconds).
Never open the battery and do not drop it.
Always charge the battery in an enclosed, well-venti-
lated room which is dry and weather-protected.
Do not short circuit the battery connections.
Deformed or faulty (leaking) batteries must not be
used and must be replaced and disposed of in an
environmentally-friendly manner. Observe country-
specific legislation.
Fluid may escape from faulty batteries. Avoid con-
tact! In the case of inadvertent contact, rinse with
water. Seek medical attention if the fluid contacts the
eyes. Escaping battery fluid can cause skin irritation
and burns.
Visually inspect the battery connection cables for
damage at regular intervals. Have damaged cables
replaced by a technician.
Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse with a val-
ue that differs from the specified rating (ampere).

ty distance must always be maintained.
Only work during the day or with good artificial light.
When driving off the lawn or when not mowing, the
mowing blade must be disengaged and the mowing
deck must be set to the highest cutting position.
Objects hidden in the turf (lawn sprinkler systems,
posts, water valves, foundations, electrical wires,
etc.) must be avoided. Never run over any such for-
eign objects.
Always hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands
when driving.
Particular care must be taken when driving on lawns
and other uneven surfaces, as the steering wheel can
be made to turn due to holes, mounds, impacts, etc.

Only empty the grass catcher box from the driver's
seat.
Before emptying the grass catcher box, always dis-
engage the mowing blade and wait until it has come

mowing blade has come to a complete standstill, en-
gage the parking brake and remove the ignition key:
