Safety rules for Petrol Lawn Mowers

 Training  

•   Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the controls and proper 

use of the equipment. 

•   Only use the lawn mower for the purpose for which it was designed,  

i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any other use can be hazardous,  

causing damage to the machine.

•   Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use 

the lawn mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

•  Never use the lawn mower:
•   When people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
•    If the operator has taken medicine or substances that can affect his 

ability to react and concentrate.

•   Remember that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or 

hazards occurring to other people or their property.

 Preparation 

•   While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long trousers. Do not 

operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

•   Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and 

remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine or damage the 

cutter assembly and the engine (stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.)

WARNING:  DANGER!  

Engine fuel is highly flammable.

•  Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
•   Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. 
•  Do not smoke while refuelling or whenever handling the fuel.
•    Never refuel near an open flame.

•    Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel 

tank or add fuel while the engine is running or when the engine is hot.

•    If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the 

machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source  

of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and the vapour dispersed.

•   Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.
•  Substitute faulty silencers.
•   Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the condition of the 

blades, and check that the screws and cutting assembly are not worn 

or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and screws in sets to 

preserve balance.

•   Discharge openings must be guarded at all times. Do not remove the 

discharge guard or hold it up while mowing. 

•   It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when operating the 

mower.

•    Ensure upper and lower handles are secured in position before 

operation by manually tightening knobs and/or levers by hand per the 

assembly instructions. 

Operation 

•   Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous  

carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

•  Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
•  If possible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
•  Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
•   Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled along by the  

lawn mower.

•  Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
•  Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
•  Do not mow on slopes of more than 20°.
•  Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawn mower towards you.
•   Stop the blade if the lawn mower has to be tilted for transportation 

when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the 

lawn mower to and from the area to be mowed.

•   Never operate the lawn mower with defective guards, or without safety 

devices, such as the stoneguard and/or grass-hard catcher, in place.  

Replace if damaged.
