Safe operation practices for pedestrian- controlled rotary lawnmowers
1. Training
a) read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment;
b) never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict the
age of the operator;
c) never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby;
d) keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
2. Preparation
a) while mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or
wearing open sandals;
b) thoroughly inspect the area where
the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which can be thrown by the
machine;
c) WARNING
– Petrol is highly flammable
- store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose;
- refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling;
- add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or
when the engine is hot;
- if petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated;
- replace all fuel tank and container caps securely;
d) replace faulty silencers;
e) before using, always visually inspect to see that the blade, blade bolts and
cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance;
f) on multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.
3. Operation
a) do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collet;
b) mow only in daylight or in good artificial
light;
c) avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where feasible;
d) always be sure of your footing on slopes;
e) walk, never run;
f) for wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down;
g) exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes;
h) do not mow excessively steep lopes;
i) use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawnmower towards you;
j) stop the blade(s) if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and
when transporting the lawnmower to and from
the area to be mowed;
k) never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or grass
catchers, in place;
l) do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine;
m) disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine;
n) start the engine or switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s);
o) do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or switching on the motor, except if the lawnmower has to be tilted for
starting. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator;
p) do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute;
q) do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times;
r) never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the engine is running;
s) stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop and,
where a key is fitted remove the key;
- before clearing blockages or unclogging chute;
- before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower;
- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the
lawnmower;
- if lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally
(check immediately);
t) stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire, make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop and,
where
a key is fitted remove the key:
