MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

THE OPERATION OF GARDEN TRACTORS

1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls

and the use of equipment.

2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these

instructions to use the mower.

3. Never mow while people, especially children or pets

are nearby.

4. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards

occurring to other people or their property.

5. Do not carry passengers.
6. All drivers should seek to obtain professional and practical

instruction. Such instruction should emphasise:

• The need for care and concentration when working with

this machine.

• Control of a tractor sliding on a slope will not be regained by

the application of the brake.

The main reasons for loss of control are:
• Insufficient wheel grip.
• Driving too fast.
• Inadequate braking.
• Incorrect load distribution.

1. Check that the machine complies with all applicable

regulations, including those in force when used on the public
highway.

2. When mowing always wear substantial footwear and long

trousers. Do not operate when barefoot or with open toe
sandals.

3. WARNING – Diesel is flammable:
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke when refuelling.
• Add fuel before starting engine. Never remove the cap from

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

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

machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating a
source of ignition until diesel vapours have dissipated.

• Replace the fuel tank cap securely.
4. Replace faulty silencers.
5. Before using, always inspect to see that the blades, bolts and

cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
