Preparation
While operating the equipment always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
Ear protection should be worn when the engine is running.
Eye protection should be worn whilst mowing.
Thoroughly inspect the area that is to be cut and remove all objects which are likely to cause
damage to the machine.
Never operate the mower unless all belt and chain guards are correctly in place and securely
fastened.
Before use check the bottom blade and cylinder. Replace or sharpen if necessary
Petrol is highly flammable, therefore:
-
Store fuel in containers specially designed for this purpose.
-
Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.
-
Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add petrol while
the engine is running or while the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool for at least two
minutes before refuelling. Be aware that the engine exhaust silencer will remain hot for some
time after the engine is switched off.
-
Do not attempt to start the engine if petrol is spilled or a smell of petrol is present. Move the
machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until the petrol
vapours have dissipated.
-
Always use fresh fuel.
-
Replace the fuel tank cap securely.
