7.3.5. Danger zone
Warning: never lift up the rubber mud flap while working. This will eliminate the
protection against projection and could lead to the risk of damage or injury.
The image below shows the position of the operator and the machine's danger zone:
• The safe position for the operator is behind the machine, with both hands on the handlebar.
• Never allow bystanders within the danger zone - a circle of 10 m around the machine - while
working.
• The blades rotate, by pushing down on the handlebar to lift the front wheels to perform e.g. a
turning movement, the blades may project dirt or stones from the ground. Always make sure
there are no persons, animals or objects susceptible to damage in this area. If necessary, switch
off the drive to the blades beforehand.
• Do not take risks! Stop the blade drive as soon as someone enters the danger zone.
• Shut off the engine when leaving the machine unattended.
• Once the engine is running, the operator's full attention must be on operating the machine.
• Protective covers are intended to shield off dangerous areas to avoid accidents. It is therefore
strictly prohibited to operate the machine or to activate the engine or any drive when protec-
tive covers are removed.
