Safety Information
Work Area
•
Make sure you thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove all objects and anything that
could be thrown by the machine or could damage the engine or machine (branches, stones, wire,
toys, etc). Attempting to clear the work area whilst using the machine will reduce your
concentration and creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilled on the floor may result in you slipping.
•
You must only work in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions. Keep
people, children and animals away from the working area.
•
Operate on flat, level ground.
•
DO NOT work on wet ground. If there has been heavy rain on the working site, wait until the
ground has dried up.
•
You must pay special attention when approaching obstacles that could compromise visibility.
•
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. When changing direction, you
need to be careful that the wheels do not hit any obstacles (such as roots, branches, stones, etc)
that can cause the machine to slide sideways or make you lose control of it. Avoid driving on
slopes steeper than 15%. Make sure on slopes you have a steady foothold.
•
Find and locate all fixed objects in the ground, such as sprinkler systems, poles, water valves,
bases for washing lines etc. Make sure that you check for hidden electrical cables or similar on
the surface of the lawn. ALWAYS run the machine around these objects. NEVER intentionally run
the machine over foreign objects.
•
Never park the machine in a place with unstable ground which could give way.
•
You must be careful near ravines, ditches or embankments.
•
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
•
Pay the utmost attention when working on frozen ground as the machine may tend to skid.
•
Do not work in the rain or when there is a thunderstorm or lightning risk. If there is bad weather
conditions, do not use the machine.
