Safety Instructions
Children
• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on
guard for children in the vicinity of the machine.
Children are often attracted to the machine and
mowing. Never assume that children will stay put
where you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the mowing area and
under close supervision by another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if
children enter the work area.
• Before and during a reversing manoeuvre, look
backward and downward for small children.
• Never allow a child to ride with you. They can fall
off and seriously injure themselves or be in the way
for safe manoeuvring of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees
or other objects that block your view.
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Remove the ignition key before
making any adjustments or carrying out
maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Only store fuel in clean containers approved for the
purpose.
• Never remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank with
fuel while the engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not
smoke.
• Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery carefully,
of environmental considerations. Observe
applicable recycling regulations.
• Do not allow compressed air to come into contact
with skin. If compressed air penetrates the skin,
seek medical advice immediately.
• Seek medical advice immediately if skin comes into
contact with fuel, which that is under high pressure.
• The combustible material in some of the engine’s
components (e.g. certain seals) can be very
dangerous if ignited. Never allow burnt material to
come into contact with skin or eyes.
• Do not remove the filler cap or any other
component on the cooling system when the engine
is hot or under pressure, as hazardous hot coolant
can spray out.
