PRECAUTIONS
- Always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause
leakage.
- Replace fuel tank and oil tank caps securely.
A damaged cutterblade or loose fixing bolt are major hazards. Before
use, always visually inspect the cutting mechanism to ensure that it is
in good condition. A damaged cutterblade must be replaced immedi-
ately with a genuine Hayter replacement part.
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where exhaust fumes
(carbon monoxide) can collect.
Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull
the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Avoid using the mower on wet grass, where feasible.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
Walk, never run.
Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes of more than 20 degrees.
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards you.
Stop the engine before moving the mower across areas other than grass.
Never operate the mower unless all guards are securely in position and
in good condition.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
Disengage the ground drive clutch lever before starting the engine.
(Autodrive only)
Start the engine carefully, with feet well away from the cutterblade.
