6.2 Clothing and equipment
Wear sturdy footwear with high-
grip soles and never work
barefoot or when wearing e.g.
sandals,
– when moving the robotic mower from
one place to another using the control
panel,
– when approaching the robotic mower
during operation,
– when mowing the lawn manually.
(
4.2)
Wear suitable work clothes
during installation, maintenance
operations and all other work on
the machine and docking
station.
Never wear loose clothes which may
become caught on moving parts – do not
wear jewellery, ties or scarves.
In particular, wear long trousers:
– when approaching the robotic mower
during operation,
– when mowing the lawn manually.
Always wear thick gloves during
maintenance and cleaning
operations, when laying and
removing wires and when
securing the docking station.
In particular, protect the hands when
working on the mowing blade and when
driving in the fixing pins or the docking
station pegs.
Long hair must always be tied up and
secured (headscarf, cap, etc.) when
working on the machine.
102
Suitable safety glasses must be
worn when driving in the fixing
pins and the docking station
pegs.
6.3 Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current
Warning:
Risk of electric shock!
Particularly important for
electrical safety are an
intact power cable and
mains plug on the power
supply unit. Damaged cables,
connectors and plugs, or electric
cables that do not conform to
regulations must not be used, to
prevent any risk of electric shocks.
Therefore, check the electric cable
regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness).
Only use an original power supply unit.
The power supply unit must not be used:
– if it is damaged or worn,
– if the cables are damaged or worn.
Check the power cable in particular for
damage and ageing.
Maintenance and repair work on power
cables and power supply units must only
be performed by specially qualified
technicians.
Danger of electric shock!
Do not connect a damaged cable to the
mains and only touch a damaged cable
once it has been disconnected from the
mains.
The electric cable on the power supply unit
must not be modified (e.g. shortened). The
cable between the power supply unit and
docking station must not be extended.
The power supply unit and cable must not
be left on wet ground for prolonged
periods.
Danger of electric shock!
Damaged cables, connectors and plugs,
or electric cables which do not conform
with regulations may not be used.
Always ensure that the power cables used
are adequately protected by a fuse.
Detach electric cables at the plug and
socket and not by pulling on the electric
cable.
Only connect the machine to a power
supply that is protected by means of a
residual current-operated protective
device with a release current of a
maximum of 30 mA. Your electrician can
provide further information.
If the power supply unit is connected to the
mains supply outside a building, the socket
must be approved for outdoor use. Your
electrician can provide further information
about country-specific legislation.
It must be noted that current fluctuations
can damage the machine when it is
connected to a power generator.
6.4 Battery
Only use original batteries.
The battery is intended exclusively for
fixed installation in a VIKING robotic
mower. There, it is optimally protected and
is charged when the robotic mower is in
the docking station. No other charger must
be used. The use of an unsuitable charger
