
Be sure not to tilt the lawn mower too far up, since this will make it tip over towards
the loader boom due to the movement made possible by the floating system linkage.

Secure the mower against unintended movements when unlocking it from the loader.
Unlock only on a level surface, and use blocks of wood to prevent the mower from
moving, for example.

Make sure that the mower is properly supported before performing any inspections,
maintenance, or adjustments. If access to blades is necessary, secure the mower
with suitable lifting equipment, or lower it on firm blocks of wood, for example.

Always transport the mower as low and as close to the machine as possible to keep
the centre of gravity low. On slippery surfaces drive slowly and deliberately. Operate
the controls of the loader slowly and calmly especially on inclined terrain.

Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe
stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the
vicinity. Pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as
branches and trees that can reach to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery
surfaces.

Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Do not modify the
attachment in any way that could affect its safety.

Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. Other use may create unnecessary
safety risks, and the equipment may get damaged.

Make sure that the loader is equipped with necessary safety components, and that
they are in working condition. Seat belt must be used. If there are specific hazards
related to the operating area, use appropriate safety equipment.

Also read the safety instructions and correct use of the loader from the operator's
manual of the loader.
DANGER: Wrong, improper, or careless use of the attachment causes serious risk
of severe injuries or death. Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader in a safe
area. Pay particular attention to the safe stopping of the attachment and the loader; follow
the safe stopping procedure shown in this manual before leaving the driver's seat.
WARNING: Risk of cutting and thrown objects. Make sure all guards are in place.
Never run the mower if all guards are not in place. Exposed blades can throw material at
very high speed, creating serious danger to the operator and any person also at a
distance of up to 30 m from the mower. The Collecting Lawn Mower 1200 is intended to
be used with the full collector unit and all related parts fitted.
