SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the ma-
chine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
• Take care when rounding a fixed object, so that
the blades do not hit it. Never run the machine
over foreign objects.
• Only use the machine in daylight or in other
well-lit conditions. Keep the machine at a safe
distance from holes or other irregularities in the
ground. Pay attention to other possible risks.
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you
have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking
other drugs or medication that can affect your
vision, judgment or co-ordination.
• Keep an eye on the traffic when working close to
a road or when crossing it.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the
engine running. Always stop the blades, apply
the parking brake, stop the engine and remove
the keys before leaving the machine.
• Never allow children or other persons not
trained in the use of the machine to use or
service it. Local laws may regulate the age of
the user.
WARNING!
Engine exhaust, some of its
constituents and certain vehicle
components contain or emit
chemicals considered to cause
cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive impairment. The
engine emits carbon monoxide,
which is a colourless, poisonous
gas. Do not use the machine in
enclosed spaces.
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment
close at hand when using the machine.
• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always
wear protective shoes or protective boots,
preferably with steel toes.
• Wear approved protective glasses or full-face
visor during assembly and when operating.
• Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in
moving parts.
• Use ear protectors to eliminate the risk for
impairment of hearing.
Keep children away from the area to be mowed.
