• Before starting work, the lawn must be thoroughly inspected for foreign bodies and obstacles
(sprinkler nozzles, pit covers, edging and stepping stones, pegs, rocks, etc.). These must be
removed. Consult the owner of the terrain regarding buried objects (electric cables, fuel or
gas pipes, control cables, zone marking for robot mower, rocks, water pipes, irrigation systems,
drainpipes, foundations, war ammunition, tree roots, etc.). These zones must be clearly marked
and protected to prevent them from being driven over during the work.
For your information: ELIET declines all liability for damage resulting from impro-
per blade settings or damage to buried objects.
• Avoid lawns that contain stones. Choose the slowest operating speed where necessary and re-
duce the blade depth. Stay alert, if you come across a large stone, immediately lift the machine
in transport mode to pass the obstacle.
Please note: the maximum working depth of the machine is 32 mm (1"). Every
obstacle in the top layer of the soil therefore constitutes a risk of damage or
breakage of the blade system.
• When the blades are operating and the machine has been set to work depth mode, the operator
must only work in straight lines, or as straight as possible. In this set-up, turning or making
short turns is not possible without damaging the turf or damaging the blades.
• All animals must be removed from the working area.
• All ropes and wires used to attach the machine during transport must be completely removed
before driving or operating the machine.
• Never work when light intensity is below 500 Lux.
• Use the machine in an environmentally-friendly manner:
• Avoid letting the machine idle without operating it.
• Avoid spilling petrol while refuelling.
• Service the engine regularly in order to maintain optimum combustion.
7.3.3. Operator's responsibilities
• All persons using the machine are assumed to be familiar with the safety instructions. They are
fully liable for the use of the machine with regard to themselves and third parties.
• The operator of this machine is assumed to be responsible enough, and with enough common
sense, to make decisions by him or herself.
• The operator must only use the machine when it is in good condition. They must also ensure
that the operating elements have not been intentionally deactivated or fixed in one position.
• The operator may only use the machine if they know all the risks and are able to protect them-
selves and bystanders from such risks.
• The operator may only use the machine after reading the operating manual and correctly
understanding and applying the instructions.
