2.4 Fire safety
When driving 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.
