Risk of injury due to the mowing
blade!
Pulling the recoil starter rope starts
the work tool rotating. Always
ensure sufficient distance between
the mowing blade and your body,
particularly your hands and feet,
when you pull the recoil starter
rope.
Allow the machine to cool down before
working on or around the engine, exhaust
manifold or muffler in particular.
Temperatures of 80° C and above can be
reached. Danger of burns!
Direct contact with engine oil can be
dangerous. Engine oil must not be spilled.
VIKING recommends leaving the task of
topping up engine oil or performing engine
oil changes to a VIKING specialist dealer.
Cleaning:
The complete machine must be cleaned
thoroughly following use. (
Remove accumulated clipping deposits
using a stick. Clean the underside of the
mower 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, cooling ribs and
the area of the exhaust free from
e.g. grass, straw, moss, leaves or
escaping grease.

12.1)
The characteristics of original VIKING
tools, accessories and spare parts are
optimally adapted to the machine and the
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.
For safety reasons, fuel-carrying
components (fuel line, fuel cock, fuel tank,
tank cap, connections, etc.) must be
checked regularly for damage and leaks
and replaced by a technician if necessary
(VIKING recommends VIKING specialist
dealers).
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.
Check the discharge flap regularly for
wear, damage or for loss of functionality
and replace if necessary.
Only perform work on the cutting unit when
wearing thick work gloves and exercising
extreme care.
Ensure that all nuts, pins and screws (in
particular the blade fastening screw) are
securely tightened so that the machine is
in a safe operating condition.
Check the entire machine 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.
Never alter the basic setting of the engine
or run at excessive engine speeds.
Components or guards that are removed
for maintenance operations must be
properly reinstalled immediately.
4.8 Storage for prolonged periods
without operation
Allow the engine to cool before storing the
machine in an enclosed space.
Allow the machine to cool down
completely before covering it.
Store the machine with empty fuel tank
and the fuel reserve in a lockable and well-
ventilated room.
