1.2 GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
Read carefully
before using the machine.
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Be
familiar with the controls and how to use
the equipment properly.
2) Never let children or people unfamiliar
with these instructions use the machine.
Local regulations can restrict the age of
the user.
3) Never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
4) Keep in mind that the operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their proper-
ty.
5) Do not carry passengers.
6) All drivers should seek and obtain pro-
fessional and practical instruction. Such
instruction should emphasise:
–the need for care and concentration
when working with ride-on machines;
–you cannot use the brake to regain
control of a ride-on machine sliding down
a slope. The main reasons for loss of con-
trol are:
–insufficient wheel grip;
–overspeeding;
–inadequate braking;
–the type of machine is unsuitable for
its task;
–unawareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
–incorrect hitching and load distribu-
tion.
B) PREPARATION
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy
!WARNING!
footwear and long trousers. Do not
operate the equipment barefoot or wear-
ing open sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
objects which can be ejected from the
machine.
3) DANGER! Petrol is highly flammable:
–store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose;
–refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refuelling;
–add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel tank
or add petrol while the engine is run-
ning or when the engine is hot;
–if you spill petrol, do not start the
engine and move the machine away from
the area of spillage. Do not create any
source of ignition until the petrol vapours
have evaporated;
–put back and tighten all fuel tank and
container caps securely.
4) Replace faulty silencers.
5) Before use, always inspect the
machine to check that the blades, blade
bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace worn or damaged
blades and bolts in sets to preserve bal-
ance.
6) On multi-bladed machines, remember
that the rotation of one blade can cause
other blades to rotate.
C) OPERATION
1) Do not start the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monox-
ide fumes can collect.
2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light.
3) Before starting the engine, disengage
the blades and shift into neutral.
4) Do not use on slopes of more than
10° (17%).
SAFETY
4EN
5) Remember there is no such thing as
a “safe” slope. Travelling on grass slopes
requires particular care. To guard against
overturning:
–do not stop or start suddenly when
going up or downhill;
–engage the drive slowly and always
keep the machine in gear, especially
when travelling downhill;
–machine speeds should be kept low on
slopes and during tight turns;
–tay alert for humps and hollows and
other hidden hazards;
–never mow across the face of the
slope.
6) Use care when pulling loads or using
heavy equipment:
–use only approved drawbar hitch
points;
–limit loads to those you can safely con-
trol;
–do not turn sharply. Use care when
reversing;
–use counterweight(s) or wheel weights
whenever advised in the instructions
manual.
7) Disengage the blades before crossing
surfaces other than grass.
8) Never use the machine with dam-
aged guards, or without the safety pro-
tective devices in place.
9) Do not change the engine governor
settings or overspeed the engine.
Operating the engine at excessive speed
can increase the risk of personal injury.
10) Before leaving the driving seat:
–disengage the blades and lower the
attachments;
–go into neutral and apply the parking
brake;
–stop the engine and remove the ignition
key.
11) Disengage the blades, stop the
engine and remove the ignition key:
–before clearing blockages or unclog-
ging the collector channel;
–before cleaning, checking or servicing
the machine;
–after striking a foreign object. Inspect
the machine for damage and make
repairs before restarting and operating
the machine;
–If the machine starts to vibrate abnor-
mally (check for the causes immediately).
12) Disengage the blades for transport or
whenever they are not in use.
13) Stop the engine and disengage the
blades:
–before refuelling;
–before removing the grass-catcher.
14) Reduce the throttle during engine
run-out. If the engine is provided with a
shut-off valve, cut off the fuel when you
have finished mowing.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to
be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
2) Never store the equipment with petrol
in the tank inside a building where fumes
may reach an open flame or spark.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing
in any enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the
engine, silencer, battery compartment
and petrol storage area free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
5) Check the grass-catcher frequently for
wear or deterioration.
6) Replace worn or damaged parts for
safety purposes.
7) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this
should be done outdoors.
8) On multi-bladed machines, remember
that the rotation of one blade can cause
other blades to rotate.
9) When the machine is to be stored or
left unattended, lower the cutting deck.
