A slope inclination of 25°
corresponds to a vertical
height increase of 46.6 cm
for a 100 cm horizontal
surface.
• Always ensure good stability
on slopes. Avoid mowing on
excessively steep slopes in
order to prevent loss of
control of the appliance.
• Only mow at right-angles to
the slope and never up or
down the slope, in order to
avoid being additionally run
over by the running lawn
mower in the case of loss of
control of the appliance or of
falling.
• Be particularly careful when
changing direction on a slope
in order to prevent loss of
control.
• Be particularly careful when
moving backwards and when
pulling the lawn mower.
Risk of stumbling.
• Be particularly careful when
turning the mower around or
pulling it towards you.
• Switch off the engine if tilting
of the mower is necessary
when transporting over
surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the
mower to and from mowing
areas.
• Never open the grass
ejection flap or empty the
grass catcher bag when the
engine and the blade is
running. A rotating blade can
cause injury.
• Risk of injury. Never put
your hands or feet
on or underneath
rotating parts.
Always observe the safety
distance indicated by the
handlebar.
• Switch off the engine and
detach the spark plug socket:
- Before lifting, carrying or
transporting the appliance.
- Before blockages are re-
moved, including those in
the ejection chute.
- If the blade has hit a
foreign object.
The cutting tool needs to
be checked for possible
damage.
- Before checking, cleaning
or working on the mower.
- If the mower begins to
vibrate excessively. It must
be checked immediately.
- Before leaving the mower
unattended.
- When the appliance is not
in use.
• To fill with fuel, switch off the
engine and allow to cool
down for at least two minutes
before removing the tank
cap.
• Beware of the cutting tool
running on for
several seconds
before coming to a
standstill.
• Local regulations may specify
a minimum age for using the
mower.
• In order to prevent fire
hazards, keep the engine,
exhaust and battery case
free from grass, leaves or
escaping oil (or grease).

• Keep other persons away
from the danger
area.
• Only mow during the day or
when there is enough light.
• For safety reasons, always
use an undamaged grass
catcher bag.
• The switch mechanisms
installed in the appliance by
the manufacturer must not be
removed or bypassed, e.g. by
fixing a control lever to the
handlebar.
• Avoid mowing wet grass. The
risk of accidents is higher if
the grass is wet (increased
danger of slipping for
operator).
• Only mow at walking speed.
Mowing quickly with the
appliance increases the risk
of injury due to stumbling,
slipping etc.
• For safety reasons, VIKING
mowers with petrol engines
must not be used on slopes
with an incline of more than
25° (46.6 %). It is only per-
mitted to mow across the
direction of the gradient and
never up or down the slope,
in order to prevent loss of
control of the lawn mower.
Risk of injury.
