12.
Keep your hands away from the working parts of the machine.
13.
Keep the motor area free of dust and dirt in order to reduce the risk of fire.
14.
Always have the machine within your range of vision and be ready to react if there are
holes or irregularities in the terrain.
15. Always handle the remote control with due care. The operator must therefore always
stand on even ground and have a good view of the machine.
16.
Never let open fire come near the petrol and oil tanks during filling.
17. Never let the motor run in closed rooms. The exhaust gases are dangerous and potentially
fatal.
18. Never let the machine run in places where it could skid or tip over. Let it run slowly on
slopes. Special care must be taken when it runs on wet surfaces.
19. Never use the machine when you are under the influence of alcohol, medicine or similar
drugs, or if you are tired.
20. Always remove the area to be mowed from all foreign objects, such as stones, cones,
sticks, glass or wires and other objects, which might get caught and thrown out by the
flails or can damage the machine.
21. When operating the machine for the first time this should take place on a flat and even
surface. The operator must wait to run the machine on slopes or hilly terrain until he is
well acquainted with its functions.
22. Do not run close to waterholes, holes, dams or other places in the terrain, which might
give in to the machine’s weight. There is an increased risk of tipping over, when the
ground is loose or moist.
23. Do not use the machine if there is less than 30% fuel in the fuel tank because of the risk of
running dry.
24. Do not use the mower when the visibility is diminished (twilight, fog, heavy rain etc.)
Never run the machine behind obstacles like for instance house corners, behind trees or
bushes, in vegetation hiding the machine. Keep a good look out where the machine runs.
25.
Please note that if you run the machine below overhead lines, the radio signal might get
lost. The machine will then stop the motor and all its movements.
26. In windy weather the operator should choose a place to stand away from the stream of
exhaust gases, dust and cut-off grass coming from the machine.
