•
If the engine is running, do not put aside the transmitter and do not touch or move any parts of the machine.
•
Always stop the engine when leaving the machine, secure it against starting by pushing the red EMERGENCY STOP button
on the control panel of mower and by removing the key. Never leave the transmitter next to the mower, but put it in a different,
properly secured place inaccessible to third persons.
•
Do not engage the mowing blade until immediately before mowing.
•
Turn off the mowing mechanism, shut off the engine and remove the key from the ignition every time:
o
You remove dirt from the mowing mechanism (grass or debris).
o
You run over an unknown object and need to check for possible damage or to repair it
o
The machine unusually intensively vibrates and you need to find the cause
o
You repair the engine or other parts of the mower (also unplug cables from sparking plugs)
•
While operating, avoid mole-hills, concrete bases, guard-stones, stumps, loose stones and curbs. These must not come into
direct contact with the blade as they could cause serious damage. These may also compromise the mower stability.
•
Do not drive the mower into heaps of sand, gravel or similar materials
•
The mower may only be operated during daylight or under very good artificial light conditions.
•
Do not use the mower in limited visibility (dusk, fog, heavy rain etc.)
•
Do not let the engine run in enclosed spaces. The exhaust gases contain CO2. They damage health and can ultimately cause
death.
•
The engine should only be started and operating in open spaces. If the engine is started and operated in enclosed spaces, the
exhaust gases must be conducted away by the means of prolonging the exhaust pipe outside the enclosed space. Proper
ventilation and fresh air supply must be secured in order to prevent the accumulation of CO2.
•
Before storing the machine in a closed space, let the engine and the hydraulic drive of the machine cool properly.
•
Regularly remove all combustible objects (dry grass, leaves...) from the areas around the exhaust pipe, engine, and battery.
•
Always control the machine from a working station, which gives you a perfect view of the whole working area and of the
machine.
•
While working, change your working position to have a perfect view of the mower at all times.
•
When operating the mower on slopes never enter the space directly below or above the mower.
•
The working position should be far enough (maximum 50 m / 165 ft.) to prevent the operator from getting hit by objects that
may be accidentally thrown by the mower.
•
Do not operate the mower if you cannot see it (behind terrain obstacles, corners of buildings, hidden in grass etc.)
•
Before starting the mower, check the state of the safety labels. If any labels are damaged or missing, contact your dealer and
replace such labels on the machine. Get thoroughly acquainted with these labels. The placement of the labels on the machine
is obligatory.
•
Do not remove or damage any of the safety labels.
•
Do not remove any covers or safety elements. They are for your protection.
•
Do not use the machine if any of the protecting devices or covers is damaged or missing.
•
Keep the machine and its accessories clean and in a good technical condition at all times.
•
It is strictly prohibited to make any changes or modifications to the machine that were not previously approved by the
manufacturer. Any modification to the machine may lead to a hazardous situation or injury. If these instructions are not followed,
the manufacturer does not bear any liability for the machine and the terms of warranty may be invalidated.
•
The machine must always be equipped with all covers and protective elements.
3.3 SAFETY LABELS
