• Existing safety devices may not be
disconnected or disengaged. Check that the
safety devices work each time before using the
machine.
• Do not alter the engine’s regulator setting and do
not race the engine. The danger of personal injury
increases when the engine is run at high revs.
• Do not touch engine components which become
warm during use. Risk of burn injuries.
• Do not leave the driving seat without:
a. Disengaging the power take-off and lowering
the accessories.
b. Putting the gear in neutral and activating the
parking brake.
c. Stopping the engine and removing the key.
• Only use accessories that are approved by the
machine’s Manufacturer.
• The machine may not be used without
accessories/tools being installed in the
machine’s tool mounts. Driving without
accessories can have a negative effect on the
stability of the machine.
• Take care when using grass collectors and other
accessories. These can alter the machine’s
stability. Particularly on slopes.
• Disengage the drive to the accessories, shut off
the engine and disconnect the spark plug cable
or remove the starter key:
a. To remove sticks and rubbish or when the
discharge has become clogged.
b. To check, clean or service the machine.
c. To check whether damage has occurred and
to carry out any repairs before starting and
using the machine again after a collision with a
foreign object.
d. To check the machine if it begins to vibrate
excessively. (Check immediately).
• Disengage the drive to accessories during
transport or when the machine is not in use.
• Shut off the engine and disconnect the drive to
the accessories:
a. Before filling with petrol.
b. Before removing the grass collector.
c. Before adjusting the height setting, assuming
this cannot be done from the driver’s position.
• Reduce the acceleration when the engine is to
be stopped, and if the engine is equipped with a
fuel shut-off valve, this should be switched off
when the work is finished.
• Take care with multiple blade decks as one
rotating blade can cause other blades to rotate.
• The machine, equipped with original
accessories, must not be driven in any direction
on slopes with a gradient greater than 10º.
• The cutting deck’s original blade(s) may not be
replaced with non-original devices intended for
e.g. moss scarification. If such devices are used,
the guarantee will cease to be valid. There is
also a risk of serious injury or damage to people
or property.
• Take care when unloading and loading the
machine onto a trailer or lorry.
2.4 MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
• Tighten all nuts and screws so that the machine
is in safe working condition.
• At regular intervals check that the cutting
deck’s blade screw(s) are properly tightened.
• Regularly check the operation of the brakes. It
is important to maintain and repair the brakes if
necessary.
• Never store the machine with petrol in the tank
in buildings where the fumes can come into
contact with open flames or sparks.
• Allow the engine to cool before placing the
machine in a store.
• To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine,
silencer, battery and petrol tank free from grass,
leaves and surplus oil.
• Check frequently whether there is any wear or
damage to the grass collector.
• For the sake of safety, replace worn or damaged
parts.
• Always use genuine spare parts. Non-genuine
spare parts can entail a risk of injury, even if
they fit the machine.
• Replace damaged warning and instruction
stickers.
• If there is no mechanical lock for the transport
position, the cutting deck must be lowered
when parked, stored or when the machine is left
unsupervised.
• If the petrol tank is to be emptied, this must take
place outdoors.
• Store the machine so that children cannot get to it.

run until it stops.
Replace the oil while the engine is still warm.
Unscrew the spark plug and pour a tablespoonful
