General information
This lawnmower is designed for domestic grass and lawn sur-
faces. Because of the physical risk to the user or to others, the
lawnmower must not be used for other purposes.
Never mow the lawn if others – in particular children and ani-
mals – are in the vicinity.
Only mow the lawn during daylight or with the aid of appropri-
ate artificial light.
Before mowing
Always wear sturdy shoes and long trousers when mowing.
Never mow while barefoot or wearing flimsy sandals.
Check the site on which the machine is to be used, and remo-
ve all items which could be caught and ejected
Check the grass catchment device regularly for wear-and-tear
and deformation.
Before use, carry out a visual inspection to check whether the
cutting gear and its mounts are blunt or damaged. In order to
avoid generating an imbalance, replace blunt or damaged cut-
ting gear as an entire set.
When mowing
Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the motor, unless
the lawnmower has to be tilted when starting. If that is the ca-
se, do not tip the lawnmower more than absolutely necessary,
and only lift the part furthest removed from the user. Always
ensure that both hands are in the operating position before re-
placing the lawnmower on the ground.
Caution, danger! Cutting gear will continue running!
Maintain the safety distance prescribed by the handle bars.
Only switch on the motor if your feet are at a safe distance
from the cutting gear.
Take care to ensure a safe and stable position, especially on
slopes. Never run; always walk calmly forward.
Always mow slopes at right angles to the incline; never mow
up and down.
G
When mowing slopes, be especially careful when changing di-
rection.
Never mow steep slopes.
Keep bystan-
ders away!
Be especially careful when mowing backwards and pulling the
lawnmower towards you.
Switch the mower off when tilting it, running on empty or trans-
porting the lawnmower, e.g. to/from a lawn or along paths.
Never use the lawnmower if safety devices are faulty or mis-
sing, such as deflector and/or grass catchment devices.
Caution: do not touch running cutters.
Always keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Do not
stand in front of the grass ejector opening.
Never lift or carry a lawnmower while the motor is running.
Never open the guard flap while the motor is still running.
Before removing the grass catchment device, turn off the mo-
tor and wait until the cutting gear has stopped running. After
emptying the grass catchment device, reattach carefully.
Never drive across gravel while the motor is running – impac-
ting stones!
Avoid mowing wet grass where possible.
Under the following conditions, the unit must be switched off,
the switch key must be removed and the unit must be brought
to a standstill:

Maintenance
1
Never spray down the lawnmower using water, especially not
at high pressure.
Regularly check and tighten all visible screws and nuts, espe-
cially those relating to the cutting bar, to ensure a firm fit.
Always have blades changed or re-sharpened by a specialist
workshop, since a balance test must be carried out as speci-
fied in the safety regulations following any removal of parts.
Only use original WOLF spare parts. Otherwise we can't gua-
rantee that your mower conforms to the safety regulations.
Never park your lawnmower in damp rooms.
For safety reasons, replace worn or damaged parts.
