Safety Instructions
1. WARNING - Disconnect the spark plug lead
to avoid accidental starting before attempting any inspection or main
-
tenance.
2.
Do not mow whilst people, especially children or pets, are in the mowing area. Children should be kept safely
supervised. Never assume that children will remain outside of the cutting area. Do not reverse before looking
behind.
3.
Ensure that the area to be mowed is clear of sticks, stones, bottles, bones, wire, and other debris that could be
thrown by the blades.
4. Do not operate the machine without first inspecting the blades, blade bolts, and blade holder for wear or
damage.
Damaged blades or bolts are hazardous.
Always replace blades and blade bolts in sets to preserve
balance. Replace worn or damaged parts with
genuine Greenfield
replacement parts only. Use of inferior, non-
genuine service parts could result in damage or personal injury.
5. Never mow while barefoot or wearing sandals or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes. It is also important
to wear suitable hearing and eye protection.
6. A mower operator should be in good physical and mental health and not under the influence of any drug, alcohol
or any other substance that could impair vision, coordination or judgment.
7. Always refuel outdoors away from any flame sources. Do not smoke whilst refueling the engine, or fuel near a
source of ignition, such as electrical switches or gas hot water heater. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank
or add petrol whilst the engine is running or if the engine is hot, always allow to cool. Remove fuel cap slowly to
relieve any tank pressure. Do not overfill the fuel tank. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine, move
the machine away from the spill area and wipe the machine dry with a clean rag. Do not attempt to start the
machine until all petrol and vapours have dissipated.
8. Check for fuel leaks when refueling. If a fuel leak is detected, do not start the engine until the fuel leak is fixed and
the spill is wiped away.
9. Use only an approved container for storing fuel. Never store fuel or the fueled machine in an unventilated area or
near a source of ignition such as electrical switches or a gas hot water heater.
10. Do not run the engine in a confined space where carbon monoxide and poisonous exhaust fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, deadly poisonous gas.
11.
Always disengage the cutting blades before starting or stopping the engine. NEVER walk in front of the Slasher
when the engine is running, even if the drive clutch is out.
12.
Never mow up or down hill on slopes which exceed 10 degrees, or mow across the face of a slope which exceeds
5 degrees.
13.
Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.
14. Before crossing paths, driveways, or any other area foreign to mowers, reduce engine speed, disengage the cutting
blades, and lift the cutting attachment to maximum height.
