– if the cutting tool has hit a foreign object.
The cutting tool needs to be checked for
possible damage. The lawn mower
must not be operated with a damaged
or bent blade shaft or motor shaft. Risk
of injury through defective parts!
– before you check, clean or carry out
work on the mower, e.g. adjusting the
cutting height, opening or closing the
discharge flap;
– before leaving the machine unattended;
– before lifting, or carrying the machine;
– before transporting the machine.

4.7 Maintenance, cleaning, repairs and

storage
Switch off the machine, remove
the safety plug and if necessary
remove the battery before working on the
machine or before adjusting or cleaning
the mower.
Always wear thick gloves when
carrying out any work on the
cutting tool.
Allow the machine to fully cool down
before storing it in an enclosed place,
performing maintenance on it or cleaning
it.
Perform only those maintenance
operations that are described in this
instruction manual. Have all other
operations carried out by a specialist
dealer.
VIKING recommends that you have
maintenance operations and repairs
performed exclusively by a VIKING
specialist dealer.

VIKING specialist dealers regularly attend
training courses and are provided with
technical information.
If you do not have the necessary expertise
or auxiliary equipment, please always
contact a specialist dealer. (VIKING
recommends VIKING specialist dealers).
Only use high quality tools, accessories
and spare parts. Otherwise, there may be
a risk of accidents resulting in personal
injury or damage to the machine.
VIKING recommends the use of genuine
VIKING tools, genuine accessories and
genuine spare parts. Their properties are
optimally adapted to the machine and the
user's requirements.
Genuine VIKING spare parts can be
recognised by the VIKING spare parts
number, by the VIKING lettering and, if
present, by the VIKING spare parts
symbol. On smaller parts, only the symbol
may be present.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws are
securely tightened, so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Check the grass-catching unit regularly for
wear, damage or for loss of functionality.
If the cutting tool or the lawn mower hits an
obstacle or a foreign object, the motor
must be switched off, the safety plug
disconnected, and an inspection
performed by a specialist.
In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the
area around the air vents between the
motor cover and housing free from
e.g. grass, straw, moss, leaves or
emerging grease.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
Carefully clean the lawn mower following
use.
Never use high-pressure cleaners and do
not clean the lawn mower under running
water (e.g. using a garden hose). Do not
use aggressive cleaning agents. These
cleaners can damage plastics and metals,
impairing the safe operation of your
VIKING machine.
Check the entire machine for wear or
damage on a regular basis, particularly
before extended periods when the
machine is not in use (over winter).
Replace worn or damaged parts to ensure
that the machine is always in a safe
operating condition.
Store the cooled lawn mower, battery and
safety plug safely in a dry, well-ventilated
and locked place that is inaccessible to
children.

4.8 Disposal

Ensure that old machines are properly
disposed of. Render the machine
unusable prior to disposal. In order to
prevent accidents, ensure that you remove
the safety plug and the electric cable from
the motor.
Risk of injury due to the mowing blade!
Always store an old lawn mower in a safe
place prior to scrapping. Ensure that the
machine and the mowing blade are kept
out of the reach of children.
Batteries must be disposed of separately
from the lawn mower. Ensure that
batteries are discharged prior to disposal
(e.g. by running the motor) and that they
are disposed of safely and in an
environmentally-friendly manner.
