2. WORK SAFETY AND HEALTH
Ride-on mowers model OM / EF 92 are manufactured according to valid European safety norms. The
machine's manufacturer confirms this fact in the Statement of compliance, which is included at the
end of this user's manual ( 10).
If this machine is used properly and according to the user's manual, it is very safe.
In the event that work safety is not adhered to and all warnings in this manual
are not respected, this riding mower may cut off hands, legs or deflect objects and
so may cause serious injury or death to persons, damage or destructions of the
machine or one of its parts or accessories.
2.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The person primarily responsible for their own safety and the safety of others during the operation of the
riding mower is its user. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for the injury of persons or damage
to the machine and ecological damage resulting from the machine not being used and operated in
accordance with all safety instructions included in this user's manual.
2.1.1 General safety instructions
! This machine may only be driven by a person over 18 years of age that has read this user's manual.
The machine must never be operated by unauthorised persons, who have not read the user's manual
and who are not able to correctly and safely control the machine.
! The user of the machine is responsible for the safety of persons in the vicinity of the working area of
the machine.
! It is not permitted to perform any technical modifications to the machine and its accessories. Unauthorised
modifications may lead to hazardous work safety conditions and void the warranty.
! Adhere to all requirements relating to fire safety (
2.4).
! Do not remove safety stickers or labels from the machine. Check that they are in their proper locations.
! Do not stay in the vicinity of the machine or under it, if it is lifted and is not sufficiently secured against
falling or tipping over in the lifted position.
! The components of the grass catcher are subject to strain and may suffer damage, the function of
the grass catcher may deteriorate and contents may fall out of it. Therefore, regularly perform an
inspection according to the recommendations provided in this user s manual.
! Always turn off the mowing deck and engine and take the key out of the ignition, when:
X
you are cleaning the machine
X you are removing accumulated grass from the mowing deck
X you have driven over a foreign object and it is necessary to check whether the machine has been damaged
or it is necessary to remedy the damage
X the machine is vibration with unusual force and it is necessary to identify the cause of the vibrations
X you are repairing the engine or other moving parts (also disconnect cables from the spark plugs)
2.1.2 Before using the machine
! Do not use the riding mower if it is damaged or if any of its protective elements are missing. All covers
and other protective elements must always be in their place. Therefore, do not remove or put out of
operation any of the machine's protective elements.
! Regularly check that protection devices and safety elements work properly.
! Do not work with the machine after consuming alcohol, drugs or medication affecting your perception.
! Do not work with the machine if you suffer from dizziness, fainting or if you are weakened or distracted
in any other way.
! Before putting the machine into operation, thoroughly learn about all the control elements and ensure
that you can control them in such a way that if necessary you can immediately stop or turn off the
engine.
28
! Do not adjust the engine regulator or the engine speed limiter.
! Before you start working with the machine, remove from the surface of the area you will be mowing, all
stones, pieces of wood, wire, bones, fallen branches and other items, which could be deflected during
the mowing process.
! Remedy all defects before further use. Before starting work, thoroughly check that the belts are
tensioned, the blades are sharp and that the area inside the mowing deck is clear.
! Before using the machine, visually check that the machine parts are not damaged or missing or visibly
loosened.
! Prior to using the machine check that the brakes work and if necessary have them adjusted or repaired.
2.1.3 While operating the machine
! The machine must not be used for work on slopes that have an incline greater than 10° (17%).
! Transport of other passengers, animals or loads directly on the machine is forbidden. Transport of loads
is only permitted on trailers approved by the machine's manufacturer.
! Even when leaving the machine for a short time, always remove the key from the ignition.
! If you are driving the machine away from the work area where you are mowing, always disengage the
mowing deck and lift it to the transport position.
! Do not mow near piles of material, holes or banks. The riding mower may suddenly roll over if the
wheel goes over the edge of a hole, trench or an edge that may collapse.
! When working, avoid mole mounds, concrete supports, tree stumps, garden bed and footpath kerbs,
which must not come into contact with the blades and so cause damage to the mowing deck and the
machine's mechanism.
! In the event of an impact into a rigid object, stop and turn off the mowing deck and engine and inspect
the entire machine, particularly the steering mechanism. If necessary perform repairs before starting
up the engine again.
! Whenever possible avoid using the machine in wet grass. Reduced traction may lead to skidding.
! Avoid obstacles (e.g. sudden change in the incline of a slope, trenches, etc.) on which the machine
could roll over.
! Do not attempt to maintain the stability of the machine by stepping on the ground.
! Only use the machine in daylight hours or with good artificial lighting.
! Driving the machine on public roads is not permitted.
! When operating the machine do not wear loose clothing and short pants, use solid fully-closed footwear.
Never operate the machine when wearing sandals or barefoot.
! Do not leave the engine running in closed areas. The exhaust fumes contain substances that are
odourless but are fatally poisonous.
! Do not put your hands or legs underneath the mowing deck cover. Never put any part of your body near
the rotating or moving parts of the machine.
! Do not start the engine without an exhaust.
! Usually the noise emitted during mowing does not exceed the acoustic pressure and acoustic power
values specified in this user's manual (
1.4). In certain cases, however, it may under certain conditions
and due to the condition of the terrain exceed the specified noise levels for a short time.
! The machine manufacturer recommends the use of hearing protection when operating the machine
because stressing the hearing organ with an excessive noise level or long term effects of noise may
lead to permanent hearing damage.
! Always pay full attention to driving and other activities performed with the machine. The most common
causes of loss of control over the machine are for example:
X Loss of wheel traction.
X Excessive speed, not adjusting speed to current conditions and terrain properties.
X Sudden breaking where the wheels lock up.
X Using the machine for purposes for which is was not designed.
29
2.1.4 After finishing work with the machine
! Always maintain the machine and its accessories clean and in good technical condition.
! The rotating blades are sharp and may cause injuries. Whenever handing the blades always use
protective gloves or wrap the blades.
! Regularly check the nuts and bolts securing the blades so that they are tightened with the appropriate
amount of torque (
6.3.6).
! Pay special attention to lock nuts. After the nut is loosened a second time its locking capability is
reduced and therefore it needs to be replaced with a new one.
! Regularly inspect all components and if necessary replace those that need to be replaced based on the
manufacturer's recommendations.
2.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORK ON SLOPES
Slopes are the main cause of accidents, loss of control over the machine or subsequent roll-overs, which
may lead to serious injuries or death. Mowing on slopes always requires an increased level of attention.
If you are not sure, or it exceeds your ability, do not mow on slopes.
! Riding mowers can be used on slopes with a maximum incline up to 10° (17%) and when 4x4-drive
is used on slopes with a maximum incline of 15°(27%) and only in the direction of the fall line, i.e.
upwards or downwards. More information (
5.5.4).
! When changing direction increased care is needed. Do not turn on a slope unless it is absolutely
necessary.
! Watch out for holes, roots, uneven terrain. Uneven terrain may cause the machine to turn over. High
grass may conceal hidden obstacles. Therefore, remove all foreign objects from the area where you
wish to mow in advance.
! Select such a speed so that you do not need to stop when on a hill.
! Be very careful when attaching the grass catcher or making other connections. It may lead to a reduced
stability of the machine.
! Perform all movements on a slope slowly and smoothly. Do not make sudden changes to speed or
direction.
! Avoid starting up or stopping on a slope. In the event that the wheels lose traction, turn off the power
to the blades and drive slowly down the hill.
! Start driving very carefully and slowly when on a slope so that the machine does not "skip". Always
reduce the machine's driving speed before a slope, and especially when driving down a hill lower the
driving speed to minimum to take advantage of the braking effect of the transmission.
2.3 CHILD SAFETY
If the riding mower operator is not prepared for the presence of children then a tragic accident may
happen. The movement of a riding mower attracts the attention of children. Never assume that children
will remain in the location where you last saw them.
! Do not allow children without supervision in areas where you are mowing grass.
! Never allow children to operate this machine!
! Always be prepared - if children approach you then turn off the machine.
! Before and while reversing look behind you and at the ground.
! Never transport children, they may fall and seriously injure themselves, or they may dangerously
interfere with the riding mower controls. Never allow children to operate the machine.
! Pay increased attention in places with limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).
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.
30
! 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. Do not 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 a closed location.
! Check the petrol lines before using and 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.
31

3.4 CHECKS PRIOR TO STARTING UP
3.4.1 CHECKING THE MOTOR OIL
The tractor must be in a horizontal position before the oil level can be checked. The oil cap is accessible
after tilting open the hood. Screw out the oil dipstick, wipe it dry, reinsert it and screw in. Then again
screw it out and take the oil level reading.
Oil level dipstick:
(1) - (ADD) low oil level
(2) - (FULL) maximum oil level
The oil level must be between the two marks on the dipstick. If it is not, fill up with motor oil so that it
reaches the "FULL" mark. The motor oil type is indicated in the user's manual of the engine.
The oil level must be checked before every work session.
3.4.2 CHECKING THE BATTERY
Check the battery charge level according to the user's manual of the battery.
3.4.3 FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH FUEL
For safety reasons the riding mower is transported without fuel and before the first start up it is necessary
to fill it up. The fuel tank is located under the front hood and has a capacity of 7.5 l of fuel.
35
- Use only petrol with the octane number specified in the user's manual of the engine. Defects
caused by the use of incorrect fuel are not covered by the warranty!
- Only fill the fuel tank with the engine turned off and when the engine is cold. Fill up the fuel
tank in a well ventilated location.
- When handling fuel, do not eat, smoke or use an open flame.
- For filling use a funnel designed for refilling fuel.
- Ensure that fuel is not spilled when refilling. Spilled fuel can very easily catch on fire. If fuel
does spill, thoroughly wipe dry.
- Store fuels out of the reach of children.
Procedure for filling up:
X Open the fuel tank cap. Open it slowly because there may be overpressure
in the fuel tank caused by petrol vapours.
X Insert a funnel into the fuel tank opening and start to pour the fuel from
the canister.
X After filling up the fuel tank always wipe dry the area around the fuel tank
opening as well as the fuel tank opening itself. It is good to check the
condition of the fuel lines.
It is recommended to regularly also clean out the actual fuel tank because
impurities found in the fuel may cause an engine malfunction.
3.4.4 CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TYRES
Before putting the machine into operation, check the air pressure in the tyres.
The air pressure in the front and rear tyres must be in the range 80 - 140
kPa. The difference between the individual tyres may be ± 10 kPa.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure marked on the tyres that are being used.

4.2 DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE CONTROL ELEMENTS
4.2.1 STANDARD CONTROL ELEMENTS
(1) THROTTLE LEVER
Serves to regulate the engine speed. It has the following three positions:
CHOKE* Starting a cold engine
MAX Maximum engine speed
MIN Minimum engine speed (idle)
* Only on machines with a BS15, BS17 and K 1600 engines
(2) MOTOR HOURS COUNTER
The motor hours counter implicitly displays the total number of
motor hours. By pressing the Mode button you gradually switch
between the following maintenance functions:
TMR 1 - individual trip counter. The value is reset by
holding down the Mode button for 6 seconds.
OIL CHG - oil change. The function has two oil change
intervals. The first is after 5 hours (oil change after the engine has run itself in) and
is shown only once. The second is after 25 hours (standard oil change).
AIRFILTER SVC - cleaning or changing the oil filter. The interval is set to 50 hours.
Two hours before the set interval has elapsed the display will show a message lasting 10 seconds.
After the interval has elapsed the display will show a message NOW.
Any of the above mentioned alarms can be reset by holding down the Mode button for 6 seconds.
37
- Tampering with the counter will void the warranty – the motor hours connection is equipped
with a tamper seal.
- Immediately contact your service centre if the motor hours counter malfunctions.
(3) THE MOWING FUNCTION ACTIVATION SWITCH WHEN THE GRASS CATCHER IS FULL
The AUT/MAN switch serves to activate and deactivate the control of the mowing function (mowing deck)
when the grass catcher is full.
In the MAN position, mowing is activated permanently and when the grass catcher is full, grass clippings
may accumulate in the ejection chute. For this reason this position is intended only for short term use to
complete the mowing of very small remaining areas.
If the machine is equipped with an acoustic indicator (buzzer), then it is automatically
activated when the basket is full.
In the AUT position, the mowing function is automatically deactivated when the grass catcher is full.
Position Grass catcher is full Mowing deck
AUT NO ENGAGED
AUT YES DISENGAGED
MAN NO ENGAGED
MAN YES ENGAGED
(4) DEACTIVATION OF THE MOWING DECK DISENGAGEMENT FOR REVERSING
Switch R serves to disengage the automatic mowing deck disengagement function when reversing
(
5.5.1).
R
The switch needs to be pressed when the mowing deck has already been
automatically disengaged but the blades have not yet stopped rotating (approx.
4 seconds) or when the mowing deck is started immediately before the reverse
travel pedal is stepped on. Then with every subsequent change in the travel
direction from reverse to forward, the disengagement of the mowing deck is
again reactivated.
(5) MOWING DECK ENGAGEMENT SWITCH
Pulling out the engagement switch upwards engages the mowing deck. Pushing it down disengages the
mowing deck.
DISENGAGED
Disengagement of the mowing deck / the mowing
deck is disengaged
ENGAGED Engagement of the mowing deck
(6) BRAKE PEDAL AND PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light serves to signal correct and incorrect starting of the engine ( 5.2), pushed down
brake and engagement of the parking brake.
38
Parking brake engaged signal
Brake pedal applied signal
(7) MAIN POWER SWITCH
Serves to start up / shut off the engine. It has the following 4 positions:
Ignition off / turn off the ignition
Turn on / turn off the headlights on the hood
Ignition on, the engine is running.
Start engine – starting position
(8) FORWARD DRIVE PEDAL
The pedal controls the power going to the wheels and regulates the speed of the machine forward.
The more the pedal is pushed towards the floor, the faster the machine will be
and vice versa.
When the pedal is released it will automatically return to the neutral position
and the machine will stop.
More information
5.5.
ATTENTION: Changing the travel direction forwards / reverse is only possible after
stopping the machine!
(9) REVERSE TRAVEL PEDAL
The pedal controls the power going to the wheels and regulates the speed of the machine backwards.
The more the pedal is pushed towards the floor, the faster the machine will be
and vice versa.
When the pedal is released it will automatically return to the neutral position
and the machine will stop.
More information
5.5.
Changing the travel direction forwards / reverse is only possible after stopping the
machine!
39
(10) PARKING BRAKE LEVER
The parking brake has two positions. In position (1) the brake is not active,
after shifting to position (2) while stepping down on brake pedal the parking
brake is activated (will brake).
Stepping on the brake pedal will deactivate the parking brake and the lever will
automatically be released and shift to position (1).
(11) BRAKE PEDAL
Stepping on the brake pedal will slow down the riding mower.
The pedal is also used when starting the machine – it is only possible to
start up with the brake pedal applied.
(12) MOWING DECK ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT LEVER
The lever serves to set the elevation height of the mowing deck from the ground.
The lever has 6 work positions, which correspond to a mowing height of 3 to
9 cm.
The higher the number of the lever position, the higher vegetation height
remains after mowing.
When travelling without mowing, the lever must be set to position 7.
(13) BY-PASS LEVER – FREE MOVEMENT OF THE REAR WHEELS
The by-pass lever serves to disengage the transmission for the rear wheel drive and is used to push or
pull the machine without using the engine. The lever is located on the rear plate of the machine and has
the following two positions:
Position Rear wheel drive Use
(0) DISENGAGED
