OPERATION
Do not operate the engine in a confined space. Exhaust fumes contain CARBON MONOXIDE, an odourless and
POISONOUS gas.
Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
Check the oil and fuel levels before starting the engine.
Disengage the engine brake and drive clutch before starting the engine.
Start the engine in accordance with the instructions and with feet well away from the cutter blade.
Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine.
Do not change the engine settings. If adjustments are necessary, contact your dealer.
Operate the machine at a comfortable walking pace, never run behind the mower.
Avoid operating the machine on wet grass whenever possible.
Take care when working on slopes. Mow across the slope, never up and down, and exercise caution when
changing direction. Do not use the mower on slopes of more than 20 degrees.
Exercise extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards you.
Stop the cutter blade when crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the mower to and from the
work area.
Never pick up or carry the mower when the engine is running.
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the mower and petrol storage areas free of grass, leaves and grease.
Check the mower and grass collector regularly to ensure the machine is in a safe working condition. Replace any
worn or defective parts. Only use genuine replacement parts.
Store the mower in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children and well away from any fire hazard.
Allow the engine to cool before storage. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
