9 MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Dangers during maintenance!
During all maintenance work:
■
Switch off the engine and remove the ignition
key.
■
Remove the spark plug connector.
■
Protective devices removed for maintenance
must be reinstalled afterwards.
■
DANGER OF BURNS: Do not work on the
ride-on mower until it has cooled down. The
engine, transmission and silencer get very
hot!
■
DANGER OF LACERATIONS: When working
on the cutters, pay attention to the sharp
blades. In mowers with more than one blade,
moving one cutter can cause the other to
move as well.
■
Parts are only allowed to be renewed by gen-
uine spare parts.
■
If in doubt, always visit a specialist workshop
or contact the manufacturer.
