Check the grass catcher unit (e.g. grass
catcher box, discharge chute) regularly for
wear, damage or loss of functionality.
Particular care is required when working
under the machine, due to the weight of
the ride-on mower. Consult your specialist
dealer for this purpose; STIHL
recommends STIHL specialist dealers.
They will have a workshop pit or a
hydraulic working platform.
Check the secure fastening of the front
and rear wheels.
Always maintain the ride-on mower and
the attachments in perfect operating
condition. All safety devices must be
present and be in perfect operating
condition.
Ensure that the tyres have the correct tyre
pressures. The tyre pressures specified in
the instruction manual must not be
exceeded.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when
wearing thick work gloves and exercising
extreme care.
Check the function of the brakes at
regular, short intervals and, if necessary,
have the required adjustments or
maintenance operations performed by a
technician. STIHL recommends STIHL
specialist dealers.
Electrical system and battery:
In order to prevent sparks due to short
circuiting, the negative (–) cable must
always be disconnected from the battery
first and reconnected last.
Never smoke when working on
the battery. Sparks, naked
flames and other heat sources
must be kept away from the
battery.
Particular care is necessary when using
battery jump leads. Observe the relevant
instructions in order to prevent damage to
the ride-on mower (in particular, actuate
the starter for a maximum of 10 seconds).
(Ö 12.2)
When charging the battery using another
charging system, observe the instructions
in section "Charging the battery".
(Ö 14.21)
Never open the battery and do not drop it.
Always charge the battery in an enclosed,
well-ventilated room which is dry and
weather-protected.
Do not short circuit the battery
connections.
Deformed or faulty (leaking) batteries must
not be used and must be replaced and
disposed of in an environmentally-friendly
manner. Observe country-specific
legislation.
Fluid may escape from faulty batteries.
Avoid contact! In the case of inadvertent
contact, rinse with water. Seek medical
attention if the fluid contacts the eyes.
Escaping battery fluid can cause skin
irritation and burns.
Visually inspect the battery connection
cables for damage at regular intervals.
Have damaged cables replaced by a
technician.
Never bypass the fuses. Never use a fuse
with a value that differs from the specified
rating (ampere).
4.9 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Store the ride-on mower with empty fuel
tank and the fuel reserve in a lockable and
well-ventilated room.
Never store the machine with petrol in the
fuel tank inside a building in which the
petrol fumes could come into contact with
naked flames or sparks.
If the tank has to be emptied
(e.g. immobilisation before the winter
break), the fuel tank must be emptied out
of doors only (empty the tank by running
the engine out of doors, for example).
Store the machine in good operational
condition.
The ignition key must always be removed
and kept in a safe place, to prevent
unauthorised or improper use by children
or other persons.
Thoroughly clean the ride-on mower
before storage (e.g. winter break). Dry
grass residues and leaves near to the
muffler may ignite. Danger of
combustion!
Allow the machine to cool down
completely before covering it.
Perform all the necessary maintenance
operations before storing the machine.
(Ö 14.1)
The battery cables must be disconnected if
the ride-on mower is immobilised for
longer periods. STIHL recommends
removing the battery and storing it in a dry
and locked place. (Ö 14.20)
Ensure that batteries are protected from
unauthorised use (e.g. by children).
