Original Instructions
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION FOR
RECYCLING
■
To preserve natural resources, recycle or dispose of
batteries properly.
■
The product contains lead-acid batteries. Local
regulations may prohibit disposal of lead-acid batteries
in ordinary trash. Consult your local waste authority
for information regarding available recycling and/or
disposal options.
WARNING!
Upon removal, cover the battery pack
terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt
to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any
of its components. Lead-acid batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Never touch both terminals with metal
objects and body parts as short circuit may result. Keep
the battery pack away from children. Failure to comply with
these warnings could result in fire and serious injury.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
■
Turn off the product, engage the parking brake, and
remove the start key. Make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop. Allow the product to cool
down before storing or transporting.
■
Remove all foreign materials from the product. Store
the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place
that is inaccessible to children. The start key should be
removed and stored in a separate location out of the
reach of children.
■
Keep the product away from corrosive agents, such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts. Do not store the
product outdoors.
■
Use extra care when loading or unloading the product
onto a trailer or truck. Step on the brake pedal as
needed to control the speed. The product freely rolls if
it is moved on an inclined surface without stepping on
the brake pedal or engaging the parking brake. When
loading or unloading the product, do not exceed the
maximum recommended operation angle of 15°.
■
Use extreme caution when lifting or tilting the product for
maintenance, cleaning, storage, or transportation. The
blade is sharp. Keep all body parts away from the blade
while it is exposed.
■
Secure the product as needed using straps or cables to
prevent movement during transport.
TRANSPORTING LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
■
Transport the battery in accordance with local and
national provisions and regulations.
■
Follow all special requirements on packaging and
labelling when transporting batteries by a third party.
Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other
batteries or conductive materials while in transport by
protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-
conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries
that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding
company for further advice.
TOWING SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Use common sense when towing equipment. Too heavy
of a load while on a slope is dangerous. Tyres can lose
traction with the ground and cause you to lose control
of the product.
■
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights.
■
Total towed weight must not exceed the maximum
towing load of 136 kg (300 lbs.).
■
Attach tow equipment only at the hitch plate.
■
Never allow children or others on the towed equipment.
■
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of
load being towed. Travel slowly, and allow extra time
and distance to stop.
■
Do not turn sharply when towing. Use additional caution
when turning or operating under adverse surface
conditions. Use care when reversing.
MAINTENANCE
■
Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts,
accessories and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and
may void your warranty.
■
Maintain the product with care and in good working
condition. Keep blades sharp and guards in place and
in working order. To prevent serious personal injury,
prevent damage to the product, and to maintain best
performance, replace damaged, bent, cracked, or
unevenly worn out blades. An unbalanced blade causes
vibration that could damage the motor drive unit or could
cause personal injury.
■
Never make any adjustments or repairs while the motor
is running and the blades are moving.
■
Remove the start key from the product before storing,
servicing, or changing accessories. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the product
accidentally.
