Safety instructions
3. Cable:
- Always use original WOLF-Safety Cable or rubber sleeved cable with a minimum diameter of 3 x 1,5 mm
- Cable sockets and plugs must be of rubber or rubber sleeved in accordance with National Standard
Specifications.
- Cable sockets must be of splash-waterproof construction.
- Use a residual current device (RCD) rated for a residual current not greater than 30 mA.
- Connect cable to cable relief holder. Avoid abrasion of cable when dragging along sharp edges. Do not
squeeze cable between door or window frames. Never by-pass fail-safe off/on switch by tying switch lever
or bar in the "on" position, for instance.
4. Starting the Motor:
- Switch on motor only when your feet are at a safe distance from the mower chassis and when standing
on firm ground – not in high grass;
- Do not tilt the mower forward. When tilting sideways ensure that the cutter blade faces away from you.
5. During work – for your Safety:
- ATTENTION – DANGER! Keep hands away from rotating cutter blade and remember that the blade conti-
nues to rotate for a short while after the motor has been switched off;
- Always walk behind the handle bars, holding the upper handle grip with both hands;
- Keep feet away from the mower chassis and be extra careful when mowing on hills or slopes to prevent
slipping. Mow across the hill, if possible. Mowe forward at walking pace, never run;
- Avoid pulling the mower backwards (towards you) during work;
- Switch off motor before tilting or lifting the mower and when pushing off the lawn area;
- Ensure that the grassboy or deflector plate are firmly secured in their position;
- Use the height adjustment only when the mower is stationary and the rotating blade has come to a complete
standstill;
- Before removing the grassbox switch off the motor and wait until the rotating blade has come to a complete
standstill;
- Never push mower over gravel with running motor;
- If possible, avoid mowing in wet conditions;
- Switch off motor and remove cable plug socket before working at the cutter blades, before making any ad-
justments, when cable has become entangled
a) before leaving the mower unattended,
b) before attempting to clear a blockage underneath chassis or at rear throw-out,
c) before cleaning or carrying out any checks,
d) immediately after your mower blade has hit a foreign and hard object. Check the condition of the deck
and cutter blade before switching on again,
e) immediately when your mower starts to vibrate strongly. Locate the reason for the vibration and remedy.
- If your mower has a power-drive do switch the power-drive off before starting motor or engine.
- Should the power cord be damaged during use, immediately disconnect it from the mains. Do not touch the
cable until it has been disconnected from the mains.
6. Maintenance:
- Switch off motor and remove key before carrying out any repairs or maintenance to your mower;
- Do not clean your mower with a hose pipe – and particularly not with a high-pressure spray;
- Inspect regularly all visible nuts and bolts – particularly of the cutter blade – for their tightness;
- ATTENTION! Sharpening and changing of cutter blades should be done by a qualified service centre
because it is necessary that the correct balance after fixing is guaranteed;
- Damaged and worn parts must always be replaced with original WOLF replacement parts as otherwise
your guarantee will be invalidated;
- Your service centre should check your mower regularly and particularly after any hard obstacle hat hit the
chassis and/or the cutter blades;
- Store your mower only in a dry room.
- If cutter blade hits a hard foreign object whilst mowing switch of motor immediately, remove safety key
and check cutter blade carefully for damage.
Please observe these hints, as they help you to prevent damage or even accidents!
