BLOCKED CUTTING CYLINDERS
Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are
stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all drives.
Release blockages with care. Keep all parts of the
body away from the cutting edge. Beware of energy in
the drive which can cause rotation when the blockage
is released.
Keep other people away from the cutting units as
rotation of one cylinder can cause the others to rotate.
ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATION AND
MAINTENANCE
Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts are
stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all drives.
Read all the appropriate servicing instructions. Use
only the replacement parts supplied by the original
manufacturer.
When adjusting the cutting cylinders take care not to
get hands and feet trapped when rotating cylinders.
Make sure that other people are not touching any
cutting units, as rotation of one cylinder can cause the
others to rotate.
To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer
and battery compartments free of grass, leaves or
excessive grease.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
When working underneath lifted parts or machines,
make sure adequate support Is provided.
Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or
restraining forces which can cause parts to move
suddenly.
Do not alter engine speed above maximum quoted in
Engine Specification. Do not change the engine
governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating
the engine at excessive speed may increase the
hazard of personal injury.
When refuelling, STOP THE ENGINE, DO NOT
SMOKE. Add fuel before starting the engine, never
add fuel while the engine is running. Use a funnel
when pouring fuel from a can into the tank. Do not fill
the fuel tank beyond the bottom of the filler neck.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this
purpose. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refuelling.
If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine
but move the
machine away from the area of
spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated. Allow
the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank
inside a building
where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this
should be done outdoors. Do not spill fuel onto hot
components.
When servicing batteries, DO NOT SMOKE, and
keep naked lights away. Do not place any metal
objects across the terminals.
