6) Check that the cutting means screws are properly tightened on a regular basis.
7) Wear work gloves when handling, disassembling and reassembling all cutting means.
8) Keep the cutting means well balanced during sharpening. All works on the cutting means
(disassembly, sharpening, balancing, reassembly and/or replacing) are demanding jobs
that require special skills as well as special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best
carried out at a specialised centre.
9) Check that the brakes work properly on a regular basis. It is vital for brakes to undergo
regular maintenance and, where necessary, repair work.
10) Check the side discharge guard, the rear discharge guard, the grass catcher and the
intake grille frequently. Replace them if they are damaged.
11) Replace any instruction or warning message stickers, if damaged.
12) When the machine is to be stored or left unattended, lower the cutting-means assem-
bly.
13) Store the machine out of the reach of children.
14) Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area where the fuel vapours could
reach an open flame, a spark or a strong heat source.
15) Allow the engine to cool down before storing in any enclosure.
16) To reduce fire hazards, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol stor
-
age area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Always empty the grass catcher and
do not leave containers full of cut grass inside storage areas.
17) To reduce fire hazards, check there are no oil and/or fuel leaks on a regular basis.
18) If the fuel tank has to be emptied, this should be done outdoors once the engine has
cooled down.
19) Never leave the keys in the ignition or within reach of children or unauthorised persons.
Always remove the ignition key before doing any maintenance.
E) TRANSPORT
1) WARNING! - If the machine must be transported on a truck or trailer, use ramps with suit-
able resistance, width and length. Load the machine with the engine switched off, without a
driver and pushed by an adequate number of people. During transport, close the fuel stop-
cock (if fitted), lower the cutting-means assembly or attachment, engage the parking brake
and fasten the machine securely with ropes or chains to the hauling device.
F) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
1) Environmental protection should be a priority of considerable importance when using the
machine, for the benefit of both social coexistence and the environment in which we live.
Try not to cause any disturbance to the surrounding area.
2) Scrupulously comply with local regulations and provisions for the disposal of packag-
ing, oils, petrol, filters, damaged parts or any elements which have a strong impact on the
environment; this waste must not be disposed of as normal waste, it must be separated and
taken to specified waste disposal centres where the material will be recycled.
3) Scrupulously comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials after mow-
ing.
4) At the time of decommissioning, do not pollute the environment with the machine, but
hand it over to a disposal centre, in accordance with the local laws in force.
