SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read before using vertimower.
• Never vertimow while barefoot or wearing open sandals or thongs. Wear long trousers and strong
protective shoes.
• Know your controls. Learn how to stop the engine quickly in any emergency.
• Make sure the lawn is clear of sticks, stones, bones, wire and any debris, as they could be picked up
and thrown by the blades.
• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug cap before clearing blockages, checking or working on
the vertimower.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades are not worn or damaged.
• Check all nuts, bolts and screws often; always be sure the vertimower is in safe operating condition.
Use only genuine replacement parts.
• Refuel outdoors only. Do not smoke while fueling engine. Add fuel before starting engine. Never
remove the cap off the fuel tank or add fuel while the engine is running or the engine is hot. If fuel is
spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid
creating any source of ignition until fuel vapours have dissipated.
• Do not vertimow whilst people, especially children or pets are in the mowing area.
• Replace worn or faulty silencers.
• Vertimow only in good daylight.
• Never use the vertimower unless all guards provided by the manufacturer are in position.
• Start the engine carefully with hands and feet well away from the blades.
• Do not operate in a confined space where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.
• Stop the engine whenever you leave the machine.
• Do not allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the vertimower.
• Store the vertimower in a well ventilated room away from naked flames such as may be found in hot
water heaters.
• Do not over speed the engine or alter governor settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens
vertimower life.
• It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when operating a vertimower.
• Turn the fuel off at the conclusion of vertimowing and reduce the throttle setting during engine run-
out.
• Store fuel in cool place in a container specifically designed for the purpose. In general, plastic
containers are unsuitable.
• Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug cap and inspect the mower if: (a) the machine begins to
vibrate abnormally; or (b) after striking a foreign object.
• Never vertimow while walking backwards.
• Disengage the blades before pushing vertimower across gravel drives, walks or roads.
• Walk, never run.
• Vertiimow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing
direction slopes. Do not vertimow excessively steep slopes.
