Operator’s Manual – Spider CROSS LINER

Workplace
Workplaces can be dangerous. Before starting work,
your work area will need to be properly examined.
You could be seriously hurt or even killed if the soil
had slipped under the mower. Find out if there are
any potholes, hidden debris, wood, tree stumps,
stones, wires, glass or other similar objects. Any of
the above may cause loss of control over the mower
or could be propelled when using the mower or even
damage the mower.
Keep a safe distance when operating
the mower!
The surface on embankments and in ditches can
cause the machine to slip. Do not work in proximity of
embankments and ditches where there is a risk of
slipping and do not drive on them. Look out for power
lines while working. Especially when driving
underneath them may cause radio interference. In
such cases, the mower shuts off the engine
immediately and stops all movements. If you are
using the mower on busy roads, make sure that the
mower does not endanger those who pass by or their
property, by potentially throwing unwanted objects.
Choose an appropriate working distance.
Parking
An incorrectly parked mower may spontaneously
move in the absence of a driver. Follow the
instructions in the operating instructions for properly
parking the mower.
Sparks
Sparks from the exhaust or electrical system can
cause an explosion or fire. Do not use the mower in
confined spaces containing combustible materials,
vapors or dust.
Dangerous environments
This mower is designed to work under normal outdoor
atmospheric conditions. It must not be used in
confined spaces without adequate ventilation. Do not
use the mower in potentially explosive atmospheres,
ie with explosive vapors, gases or dust, without
consulting with your Spider distributor / dealer.
Regulations
Comply with all laws and local labor requirements
applicable to you and the mower.
Mower Safety
Stop work immediately if a malfunction occurs.
Abnormal noises and odors can be signs of a
problem. Check for any issues and repair before
resuming work.
Driving at high speeds
Driving at high speeds can lead to accidents. Do not
move the joystick as far as possible. Always drive at a
safe speed that suits your working conditions.
Slopes
Operating on slopes can be dangerous if appropriate
measures are not taken. Soil conditions can change
by rain, erosion, etc. Carefully inspect the work area.
Never enter the area under the mower or above the
mower if you are working on a slope. Before working
on a slope, ensure that no one is moving under the
mower or under the area where you drive. Do not
endanger other people by driving the mower above
them.
Visibility
Do not operate the mower with poor visibility. When
using the mower remotely or transporting the mower,
the operator must always be in the field of vision. The
maximum safe operating distance from the mower is
50 m. Never leave the mower unattended when the
engine is running. Always operate the mower from a
working position that gives you a perfect view of the
entire work area and the mower and is not dangerous
for you. When working remotely, change the work
area as needed to always have a perfect view of the
mower. Do not operate the mower if you do not see it
(behind terrain obstacles, around the corner of the
building, etc.).
Hands and legs
When using the mower, keep hands and feet away
from moving parts. Keep a safe distance when
operating the mower.
Control
Attach the controller around the waist when operating
the mower. Correct position of the controller will
prevent unwanted movement of the levers on the
controller. If the mower engine is running, do not put
the controller down and do not move or touch any
parts of the mower. Even when leaving the mower for
a short time, always switch off the engine and press
the red STOP button on the mower control panel and
then remove the key to prevent it from starting. Do not
leave the controller with the mower, but in a properly
secured place that is unavailable to unauthorized
persons.
Co-drivers
It is forbidden to transport persons, animals or loads
on the mower. They can cause accidents and
damage to the covers, including overloading the
mower.
Rollover protection
The mower is structurally and technically prepared for
work on slopes. Keep a safe distance away from the
mower and also keep in mind the maximum slope
accessibility. Make sure that no people are standing
under or above the mower when working on slopes.
