Safety cont.
ALWAYS
do the following before getting off
your Tractor:
✔
Disengage the Cutter Drive.
✔
Disengage the PTO Drive.
✔
Put the Gear-Lever in ‘Neutral’.
✔
Set the Parking Brake.
✔
Set Throttle to ‘Slow’and allow to
idle for a few seconds – then turn off
using Ignition Key.
✔
Stop the Engine and remove the
Ignition Key.
ALWAYS
use ordinary lead-free petrol,
never Super Unleaded or Ultra Low
Sulpher Fuel (ULSF).
ALWAYS
refuel outdoors and before
starting the engine. Under no
circumstances refill the tank with the engine
running.
NEVER
smoke while refuelling or refuel
when the engine is hot.
ALWAYS
re-fill carefully, and mop up any
spillage. Do not operate any electrical
equipment, lights etc. until the petrol
vapours have cleared – as this can create
a source of ignition.
Refuelling your Tractor
ALWAYS
mow in daylight or in good
artificial light only.
NEVER
mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
Mowing with your Tractor
ALWAYS
avoid sharp turns, especially at
high speed – even on a gentle slope. Your
Tractor is designed with considerable
stability, but rough ground can affect the tilt
of the machine quite dramatically. Bear this
in mind.
Using your Tractor
NEVER
fill the tank up to the brim – leave a
small space for the fuel to expand as it
warms up.
ALWAYS
store fuel in approved containers
specifically designed for the purpose.
ALWAYS
replace fuel tank and container
caps securely to prevent ignition of fuel.
NEVER
allow anyone near the machine
while it is in operation.
NEVER
take your Tractor onto the Public
Highway - It is illegal!
ALWAYS
drive within your Tractor’s
capabilities – it already allows you to mow
large areas of grass very effectively in a
surprisingly short time.
ALWAYS
take care when pulling heavy
loads. Use only the hitch point provided.
Limit loads to those you can control safely.
Avoid sharp turns and reverse with care.
ALWAYS
wear substantial footwear while
using your Tractor.
NEVER
wear loose clothing, or anything
that could become trapped in the machine’s
moving parts.
ALWAYS
inspect the area thoroughly
before cutting grass. Make sure it is clear
of debris like stones, sticks, toys, wire or
anything else that could be picked up and
thrown out by the Blades.
ALWAYS
pinpoint hazards like manhole
covers, tree stumps, roots, holes or
depressions in the ground so they can be
avoided.
ALWAYS
stop the Blades if the machine is
about to travel over any surface other than
grass.
NEVER
mow across a slope – always go
up and down.
ALWAYS
take care on steep or wet slopes.
NEVER
exceed the maximum towing
weight.
Fuses (Fig 45, 46, 47 & 48)
The fuse box on your Westwood tractor is located under
the dashboard above the battery. If you believe that a
fuse has blown, disconnect the battery and check the
windows on each of the fuses. If the thin metal strip is
broken , then the fuse has blown (Figure 47 & 48). If this
is a persistent problem - consult your dealer.
