14) Start the engine carefully, following the instructions and keeping feet well away from the blade.
15) Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine. Start the engine on a flat surface that is free of obstacles and tall grass.
16) Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
17) Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the engine is running.
18) Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire:
– Before carrying out any work underneath the cutting deck or before unclogging the chute;
– Before checking, cleaning or working on lawnmower;
– After striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the
lawnmower;
– If the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (find and remove the cause of the vibration immediately).
19) Stop the engine:
– Whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended. Remove the key from models with electric starters.
– Before refuelling.
– Every time you remove or replace the grass-catcher.
20) Reduce the throttle before turning off the engine and turn the fuel off when you have finished mowing, following the instruc-
tions in the engine handbook.
21) When mowing, always keep to a safe distance from the rotating blade. This distance is the length of the handle.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is essen-
tial for safety and performance.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where vapour may reach a flame or a spark or a source of
extreme heat.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing in an enclosed space.
4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves,
or excessive grease. Do not leave containers with grass cuttings in rooms.
5) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is cool.
7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blade.
8) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All operations on the blade (dismantling, sharpening, balancing, remounting
and/or replacing) require a certain familiarity and special tools. For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a spe-
cialized centre.
9) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced and not repaired. Use
genuine spare parts (blades should always bear the symbol ). Parts that are not of the same quality can damage the
equipment and be dangerous for your safety.
TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, raised, transported or tilted you must:
– wear strong working gloves;
– grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking account of the weight and its distribution.
– use an appropriate number of people for the weight of the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the place
where it has to be placed or collected.
