2.4 Fire safety
When reversing the riding mower it is necessary to adhere to fundamentals and regulations for work safety and fire
protection relating to work with this type of machine.
! Regularly remove flammable substances (dry grass, leaves, etc.) from the area around the exhaust, engine, battery
and anywhere, where they could come into contact with petrol or oil and subsequently catch on fire and so result in
a fire on the machine.
! Allow the riding mower engine to cool down before parking it in an enclosed location.
! Pay increased attention when working with petrol, oil and other flammable substances. These are very flammable
substances, the fumes of which are explosive. Never smoke during this work. Never unscrew the petrol tank cap and
refill with petrol while the engine is running, if the engine is hot or if the machine is in an enclosed location.
! Check the petrol lines before using, do not fill the petrol all the way up to the bottleneck of the tank. The heat generated
by the engine, sun and the expansion of the fuel may lead to the petrol overflowing and a subsequent fire.
! For storing flammable substances use containers designed for this purpose. Never store a canister with petrol or the
machine inside a building near any source of heat.
! Pay increased attention when working with the battery. The gas inside the battery is highly explosive, therefore do not
smoke in the vicinity of the battery and do not use an open flame so as to avoid serious injuries.
