The above illustrated labels and stickers are affixed to the machine.
1.1.1 WORK ON A SLOPE
Slopes are the main cause of accidents, loss of control over the machine or subsequent turning over of the machine that can result in a serious injury or death.
Mowing on a slope always requires increased attention. If you are not sure, or it is above your capabilities, do not mow on a slope.
The self-propelled mowing
machine may be used on slopes with a maximum gradient of up to 10°(17%) and only in the direction of the thalweg, i.e. up and down. Riding along the contour
line is not permitted. Changing directions requires increased caution. Do not turn on a slope unless it is necessary. Beware of holes, roots and uneven ground.
Uneven ground may cause the machine to overturn. High grass may cover hidden obstacles. For this reason, remove all obstructing objects beforehand (see pre-
vious section 1.1) from the area where the mowing will be performed. Choose such a speed that you will not have to stop on the slope. Perform all moves on the
slope slowly and smoothly. Do not perform any sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. In case the wheels are losing adhe-
sion, stop the blade power and ride downwards slowly. When on a slope, be careful and set the mower in motion slowly to prevent from making a "jump." Always
reduce the machine travel speed when approaching a slope, especially when riding downwards. Reduce the travel speed to the minimum in order to utilize the
brake effect of the gearbox.
1.1.2 DO NOT PERFORM
Do not mow near a dump, hollow or banks. The mower may overturn suddenly if a wheel gets over the border of the hollow, ditch or edge, and can tear off.
Do not mow wet grass as the reduced adhesion may cause the machine toskid.
Do not try to maintain stability by stepping on the ground.
1.1.3 CHILDREN’S SAFETY
A tragic accident can happen if the mowing machine operator is not prepared for the presence of children.
The movement of the mowing machine attracts their attention. Never rely on the fact that the children have remainedin the place where you last sawt them
standing.
Do not leave children without supervision in the place where you are mowing the grass.
Be alert and turn off the machine in case the children are approaching it.
Before and during reverse look behind yourself and at the ground.
Never transport children as they can fall down and get seriously injured, or they could hazardously interfere in the machine control. Never permit children
to operate the machine.
Pay extra attention in places with limited visibility (in the vicinity of trees, bushes, walling, etc.).
1.1.4 FIRE SAFETY
With the use of the mowing machine it is necessary to follow the rules and regulations of work and fire safety related to work with this type of machine. Remove
inflammable substances (dry grass, leaves, and likewise) on a regular basis from the area of the exhaust, engine, accumulator and from all places where they
could come into contact with petrol or oil, consequently ignite and set the machine on fire.
Let the engine of the mowing machine cool down before You store it in a closed space.
Pay extra attention when working with petrol, oil and other combustibles. They are highly inflammable matters with explosive vapours. Do not smoke while
working . Never unscrew the cap of the tank and refill the petrol when the engine is running, or if the engine is hot or if the machine is in a closed space.
Check the petrol supply before use, do not fill the petrol up to the tank neck. The temperature of the engine and sun as well as fuel expansivity may result
in an overflow and ensuing fire.
To store combustibles, only use the vessels specified for this purpose. Never store any canister with petrol or the machine inside a building in the vicinity of
any source of heat.
Pay extra attention when handling the accumulator. The gas in the accumulator is highly explosive, therefore do not smoke or use an open fire in the vicni-
ty of the accumulator in order to prevent serious injuries.
