of undesirable objects becomes more probable
due to the displacement of the mowing device (tilt
of one side of the machine) while crossing the
edges of different terrain.
•
The operator of the machine may be responsible
for any damage caused to third parties by
operating the machine. The mower may be used
on dry surface on slopes listed in chapter 2.2. On
wet or moist surfaces the mowed slope should
not exceed 20 degrees.
•
Before operating the machine, make sure you
remove from the mowing area all loose stones,
sticks, glass, wire, bones, branches and all other
objects that can be picked up by the blades and
thrown or that could damage the mower.
•
While operating the mower avoid obstacles, do
not drive over higher obstacles (such as stones,
stumps, brick), near precipices, on unstable soil
or in places where the mower could fall down or
flip over.
•
When operating pay attention to electric power
lines especially when driving beneath electric
wires where the radio signal may be lost. In such
case the mower immediately shuts off the internal
combustion engine and stops all movements.
•
When using the machine near busy
thoroughfares make sure that the mower does
not endanger (by throwing undesirable objects)
passers-by or their property. Choose a suitable
working procedure (see chapter: Operating the
mower).
•
The operator/user is responsible for the
safety of persons that enter the working area
of the machine. Stop your work if these
persons enter the working area.
•
The transportation of persons, animals or loads
on the mower is prohibited.
•
Do not place any objects or tools on the product.
•
While operating, especially in windy conditions,
choose the operator’s position carefully so as to
keep the operator away from the stream of
exhaust gas, dust or mulched grass.
•
Stop work and clean the machine and its cooling
surfaces several times while working in dusty
conditions to avoid over-heating during operation.
If necessary, clean the machine and its cooling
surfaces several times while working. The dust
layer must not exceed 1m (3 ft).
•
Refuel only when the machine is off – before
operating, if possible – and the fuel tank is
cold. Always keep at least 30% of the fuel in
the tank. If you need to refuel during your work,
do not fill the fuel into a hot tank or while the
engine is still hot. Let the machine cool down.
•
Before refuelling push the STOP button on the
control panel of the mower.
•
Never refuel while the engine is running.
•
Do not start the engine if you find spilled fuel,
open vessels with fuel or other combustible
objects or gases in the immediate proximity of
the mower.
•
Do not refuel near open fire.
•
Do not place this product near open fire or other
sources of heat.
•
While operating or immediately after shutting
the machine off do not touch those parts of the
machine that heat up during operation. This
concerns mainly the engine exhaust pipe, metal
parts of the hydraulic drive and metal parts of
the internal combustion engine.
•
While operating do not touch the highvoltage
conductor leading to the sparking plug.
•
After starting the engine, test the correct
functioning of the emergency engine stop on
the radio transmitter. This function should be
checked at least once during every shift and
every time you enter a new area for mowing or
mulching.
•
Before starting your work test the correct
functioning of the safety components
(EMERGENCY STOP...) on the mower and the
RC.
•
Never leave the engine running without
supervision.
•
If the engine is running, do not put aside the
transmitter and do not touch or move any parts
of the machine.
•
Always stop the engine when leaving the
machine, secure it against starting by pushing
the red EMERGENCY STOP button on the
control panel of mower and by removing the
key. Never leave the transmitter next to the
mower, but put it in a different, properly secured
place inaccessible to third persons.
•
Do not engage the mowing blade until
immediately before mowing.
•
Turn off the mowing mechanism, shut off the
engine and remove the from the ignition every
time:
•
You clean the machine
•
You remove dirt from the mowing mechanism
(grass or debris).
•
You run over an unknown object and need to
check for possible damage or to repair it
•
The machine unusually intensively vibrates and
you need to find the cause
•
You repair the engine or other parts of the
mower (also unplug cables from sparking plugs)
•
While operating, avoid mole-hills, concrete
bases, guard-stones, stumps, loose stones and
curbs. These must not come into direct contact
with the blade as they could cause serious
damage. These may also compromise the
mower stability.
•
Do not drive the mower into heaps of sand,
gravel or similar materials
•
The mower may only be operated during
daylight or under very good artificial light
