• The carbon monoxide in the engine's exhaust 

fumes is poisonous and can cause death.

• Wear tightly fitting clothes and heavy-duty 

shoes which completely cover the feet.

• The tank should only be half full when operat-

ing on slopes. Petrol can leak out.

• The engine must be stopped in the following 

circumstances: 

• When the machine is left unattended 
• Before the machine is filled up with petrol 
• Always make sure you have a good footing, es-

pecially on slopes. 

• Check that no one is in front of you or beside 

you when starting the blades. Keep a steady 

grip on the steering. The machine will lift when 

the rotors are started. Use extra caution when 

backing.

• Always keep at a safe distance to the rotors 

when working.

•  Holding the steering correctly ensures a safe 

distance. 

• No person must come closer than 20 m to the 

machine when working on slopes. The user 

must hold the steering firmly with both hands 

all the time.

• Working on stony or hard ground demands ex-

tra attention from the operator. The machine be-

comes more unstable. 

• Never touch the engine when operating the ma-

chine, or just afterwards. Risk for burn injuries.

2.4 AFTER OPERATING

• Allow the engine to cool before putting the ma-

chine in a storeroom. Fire risk! 

• Remove dirt and foreign material before putting 

the machine in a storeroom. The area round the 

petrol tank and muffler must be kept clean from 

leaves, oil, petrol or other foreign materials. 

Fire risk!

• If the petrol tank is to be emptied, do this out-

doors and when the engine is cold. Fire risk!

• The machine should be stored in a dry place. 

The machine must not stored with fuel in the 

tank in rooms where there are naked flames, 

sparks or other strong sources of heat.

2.5 MAINTENANCE

• Carry out maintenance regularly. All nuts and 

bolts should always be tight.

• Only use genuine spare parts which are in good 

condition. Spare parts must not be repaired. 

They must be replaced if they are defective. 

Poor quality spare parts can lead to personal in-

jury. If the muffler is damaged it must be re-

placed.

• The engine must be stopped and the spark plug 

lead disconnected in the following circumstanc-

es: 

When adjusting the rotors.
When the machine is to be cleaned or repaired. 

When checking after a collision with a solid 

hard object. Carry out the necessary repairs be-

fore continuing to work.
 If the machine begins to vibrate abnormally. 

Carry out the necessary repairs before continu-

ing to work.

• Wear protective gloves when working with the 

rotors.
