Before starting mowing the lawn, practice by
using the mower in a clear, levelled area. Get
to know where the controls are located on the
mower, their purpose and operation. In an
emergency, being able to stop the blade as
quickly as possible is essential. Learn to
control the mower at all times.
When analysing the lawn, remember that
obstacles such as tubes, stumps or rocks
cannot be removed. Keep away from these
obstacles that may damage the mower or
injure the user or a third party in the vicinity.
Keep the work area clear of rocks, toys, cables
and other moving objects. These objects can
damage the mower or be thrown by the mower
blade.
Before starting to mow, ensure that the mower
is properly assembled in accordance with the
Instruction Manual. If the mower has been fully
assembled in
SAFETY GUIDE
store, you should check it anyway, in
accordance with the assembly instructions.
Ensure that the mower is properly assembled,
and all fasteners are firmly adjusted. Ensure
that the mower contains the required amount
of oil. Check these items regularly throughout
the life of the mower.
Your lawnmower is equipped with a fuel
engine. Fuel is a dangerous fuel. Store fuel in
an approved and safe tank. Do not store large
quantities of fuel. When refuelling, do not
smoke. Store the fuel tank and mower in a
well-ventilated place. Similarly, keep the
mower away from flames that may be
produced by the warning light of a boiler or
other contact source. If the mower is going to
be stored for more than a few weeks, empty
the fuel tank. Do not refuel in an enclosed
area. Before refuelling, remove the mower and
carefully
add fuel. Before starting the
appliance, clean the tank or mower in case of a
fuel leak. Heated fuel tends to expand. Leave
enough space in the tank to allow the fuel to
expand. Similarly, the fuel tank cap is
equipped with a ventilation cavity to allow the
fumes generated by the fuel to escape. Always
use the correct cap for the tank. Failure to
follow the safety instructions may result in fire
and explosion, personal injury and damage to
equipment or other property.
If you refuel an appliance while it is running or
hot, it may explode. Before refuelling, stop the
engine and let it cool down for a few minutes.
Remove dry grass and other debris from the
mower. Keep the mower clean to ensure its
performance, help the engine and transmission
cooler, increase the life of moving parts and
reduce the risk of fire. Fires and explosions are
not the only hazards when handling a
handle the device inside a building. When you
buy a new lawnmower, it's an experience for
the whole family. Tell those around you that a
lawnmower can be dangerous. Remember, a
lawnmower is not a toy. A mower should not be
handled by a child or person who is not old
enough, strong or inexperienced.
If the mower is not properly assembled, does
not operate properly or is not serviced
regularly, it can be dangerous. The most
important rule to follow is to always use
common sense and wisdom. Mow carefully
and safely. Your mower is designed to easily
mow thick grass. Fingers, feet or others can
also be cut by the blade. Injuries occur when
the user is not alert and comes into contact
with the opening of the garbage chute. Always
handle the mower as if the blade was running.
Do not overhaul or adjust, except for the
carburettor, when the engine is running.
Always use the accessories approved by the
manufacturer. Not checking the accessories
reduces the performance of the mower and
eventually damage the unit. Read and follow
the instructions provided with the accessories
and mower.
Always
use original equipment and
manufacturer-approved spare parts when
overhauling. If you need to have your device
serviced, go to an Authorized Service Centre
for a service check. If you are working on the
unit, follow the instructions in the Instruction
Manual.
When mowing, remember that children are
attracted to the mower. Be careful when
mowing around obstacles such as trees or
bushes, or when stepping back. If possible,
mow only in one direction. Your visibility is
reduced when you mow backwards. Similarly,
the blades have been designed to cut as the
machine moves forward. If you move
backwards,
the cutting performance
decreases.
Before getting off your mower, turn off the
engine. Remove the ignition key. Disengage
and lower all accessories. Apply the
handbrake. Never climb on or off the seat
when the engine is running. An accident can
occur if you touch the brake, gearshift,
accelerator, clutch or blade control while the
engine is running. Climb on and off the seat
on the side marked ENTRY-EXIT.
Make sure you are in good shape before
mowing. When mowing for many hours, your
reflexes are reduced, and you are no longer as
prompt. Take a short break to avoid accidents.
If the temperature is high, pay attention to
dehydration. If you are tired, or not fully alert,
do not operate the mower. If you are under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or medication, do
not use the mower or any other electrical
equipment.
