– if there has been a collision with an
obstacle. Inspect the machine for
damage and perform the necessary
repairs before re-starting and using the
machine.
– if the machine vibrates excessively. In
this case the machine must be checked
immediately.
Risk of injury through defective
parts!
Strong vibration is normally an
indication of a fault.
In particular, the machine must not
be operated with a damaged or
bent scarifying unit (blade shaft,
blades, spacer bushings and
fastening).
In the event of excessive vibration or after
a collision with an obstacle, check the
machine, in particular the scarifying unit
(blade shaft, blades, spacer bushings and
fastening), the housing and the discharge
flap for damage and loose parts and carry
out the necessary repairs before re-
starting and working with the machine. If
you do not have the appropriate expertise,
have the necessary repairs carried out by
a specialist dealer (VIKING recommends
VIKING specialist dealers).

Allow the machine to fully cool down
before storing it in enclosed places,
performing maintenance on it or cleaning
it.
Cleaning:
The complete machine must be cleaned
thoroughly following use. (
Remove accumulated clipping deposits
using a stick. Clean the underside of the
machine with water and a brush.
Never use high-pressure cleaners and do
not clean the machine under running water
(e.g. using a garden hose).
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents.
These can damage plastics and metals,
impairing the safe operation of your
VIKING machine.
In order to prevent fire hazards, keep the
area around the air vents between the
motor hood and housing free from
e.g. grass, straw, moss, leaves or
escaping grease.
Maintenance operations:
Only maintenance operations described in
this instruction manual may be carried out.
Have all other work performed by a
specialist dealer.
If you do not have the necessary expertise
or auxiliary equipment, please always
contact a specialist dealer.
VIKING recommends that you have
maintenance operations and repairs
performed exclusively by a VIKING
specialist dealer.
VIKING specialist dealers regularly attend
training courses and are provided with
technical information.
Only use tools, accessories or
attachments approved for this machine by
VIKING or technically identical parts.
Otherwise, there may be a risk of
accidents resulting in personal injury or
damage to the machine. If you have any
questions, please consult a specialist
dealer.
The characteristics of original VIKING
tools, accessories and spare parts are
optimally adapted to the machine and the
11.2)
user's requirements. Genuine VIKING
spare parts can be recognised by the
VIKING spare parts number, by the
VIKING lettering and, if present, by the
VIKING spare parts symbol. On smaller
parts, only the symbol may be present.
Always keep warning and information
stickers clean and readable. Damaged or
missing stickers must be replaced by new,
original plates from your VIKING specialist
dealer. If a component is replaced with a
new component, ensure that the new
component is provided with the same
stickers.
Only perform work on the scarifying unit
when wearing thick work gloves and
exercising extreme care.
When working on the scarifying unit, make
sure that the blades cannot be moved,
even when the mains plug is
disconnected.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws are
securely tightened, so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition at all times.
Check the complete machine and the
grass catcher box (accessory – not
included in standard equipment) for wear
or damage on a regular basis, particularly
before extended periods when the
machine is not in use (e.g. over winter).
For safety reasons, worn or damaged
parts must be replaced immediately to
ensure that the machine is always in a safe
operating condition.
