Safety Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
All nuts, pins and bolts must be properly tightened so that the machine is in a safe and operational condition.
Never use the lawnmower without the grass catcher or protective cover.
Never use the lawnmower with loose mowing blades. Always check in advance that all respective bolts are
securely tightened. Blunt blades must be sharpened evenly.
Damaged blades must be replaced.
When working with the lawnmower, wear long pants and solid footwear.
Never start the lawnmower in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas where fumes could accumulate. Emissions
from the engine contain carbon monoxide, which is life threatening.
Work only during sufficient light conditions (in daylight or sufficient artificial lighting).
Do not use the lawnmower when it is raining or if the grass is wet.
Proceed especially carefully when mowing in elevated terrain (on a slope). Always mow perpendicular to the
slope, parallel to the contour, and not directly up/down.
Under no condition leave the lawnmower running without supervision; if you leave the lawnmower, turn off the
engine.
Never lift the rear part of the lawnmower when starting it and always keep your limbs away from the cutting deck
or the rear grass ejection chute while the engine is running.
Never modify the engine's speed setting.
On lawnmowers with travel, release the travel lever before starting the engine.
Never transport the lawnmower while its engine is running.
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug in the following cases:
- when performing any task whatsoever under the mowing deck or in the rear grass ejection chute.
- when performing maintenance, repairs or inspecting the machine.
- before carrying, lifting or transporting the lawnmower.
- when you leave the lawnmower without supervision or you are getting ready to adjust the mowing height.
- before removing and emptying the grass catcher.
- when an impact with a foreign object occurs, stop the engine and carefully inspect to ensure that there is
no damage. In the event of damage, take the lawnmower to a specialised service centre for repairs.
ATTENTION:
The mowing blade continues to rotate for several seconds after the engine is turned off.
- if the lawnmower is vibrating abnormally (immediately identify and remedy the cause of the vibration).
- For the purpose of ensuring safe operation, regularly check that the pins, bolts and nuts on the
lawnmower are securely tightened.
ATTENTION:
FUEL IS A VERY FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
Store fuel in a suitable container.
Only add fuel in an open and well ventilated location. When handling fuel, do not smoke or use a mobile
phone.
Only add fuel when the engine is turned off. Never open the fuel tank or add fuel if the engine is hot or if it is
running.
If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Take the lawnmower away from the location where the fuel was
spilled and take care to avoid possible ignition. Continue with work only after the spilled fuel has evaporated
and the fuel fumes have dissipated;
