ORIGINAL USER MANUAL FUXTEC FX-RM5170 / FX-RM5170eS rev03
•
Never store the lawnmower in closed or poorly ventilated areas where fumes could accumulate. Exhaust fumes
from the engine contain carbon monoxide, which is dangerous to life.
•
Only work in sufficient light conditions (in twilight or with adequate artificial lighting).
•
Please do not use the lawnmower when it is raining or when the grass is wet.
•
Take extra care when mowing in elevated terrain (on slopes). Always mow perpendicular to the slope, parallel to
the contour and not directly uphill/downhill.
•
Never leave the lawnmower running unattended; if you leave the lawnmower running, switch off the engine.
•
Never lift the rear of the mower when you park it and do not hold your limbs near the mowing deck or rear discharge
chute when the engine is running.
•
Never change the speed setting of the engine.
•
Never transport the lawnmower with the engine running.
•
Stop the engine and disconnect the ignition plug in the following cases:
o
When carrying out work under the mower deck or in the discharge chute.
o
When carrying out maintenance, repairs or inspections on the device.
o
Before carrying, lifting or transporting the lawnmower.
o
When you leave the lawnmower unattended or want to adjust the cutting height.
o
Before removing and emptying the coarse discharge chute.
•
Stop the engine and check thoroughly for damage if a foreign object is encountered. In case of damage, take the
lawnmower to a specialised service centre for repair.
ATTENTION:
The mower fan continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is switched off.
If the mower vibrates abnormally, stop the engine immediately. To ensure safe operation, regularly
check that the lawnmower's bolts, screws and nuts are tight.
CAUTION: FUEL IS A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
•
Store the fuel in a suitable container.
•
Fill fuel only in an open and well-ventilated place. Do not smoke or use a mobile phone when handling fuel.
•
Only fill with fuel when the engine is switched off. Never open the fuel tank; do not fill the fuel when the engine is
hot or running.
•
If fuel has been spilt, do not start the engine. Move the mower away from where the fuel was spilt, avoiding possible
ignition. Do not resume work until the spilt fuel has evaporated and the fuel vapours have dissipated.
•
After filling the fuel, tighten the fuel filler cap and the fuel canister cap securely.
ATTENTION:
Before doing maintenance or repair work, switch off the engine and remove the spark plug.
