SAFETY
PREPARATION
1) While mowing, always wear substantial
footwear and long trousers. Do not operate
the equipment when barefoot or wearing open
sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
objects which may be thrown by the machine
(stones, sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.)
3) WARNING: - Engine fuel is highly flammable:
l Store fuel in containers specifically designed
for this purpose.
l Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do
not smoke while refuelling or whenever
handling the fuel.
l Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
l If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the
area of spillage and avoid creating any source
of ignition until the fuel has evaporated and
the fumes dispersed.
l Tighten caps of all fuel tanks and containers
securely.
4) Replace faulty silencers.
5) Before using, always carry out a visual
inspection, particularly of the blades, seeing
that the screws and cutter assembly are not
worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged
blades and screws in sets to preserve
balance.
6) Before mowing, attach the discharge opening
guards (grass-catcher or deflector).
7) Take care as the rotation of one blade can
cause the other blade to turn.
OPERATION
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined space
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes
can collect.
2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
3) Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass,
where feasible.
4) Before starting the engine, disengage the
blades, shift into neutral and engage the
parking brake.
5) Do not use on slopes of more than 100(17%).
6) Remember there is no such thing as a “safe”
slope.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To
guard against overturning:
l Do not stop or start suddenly when going up
or downhill;
l Always keep the machine in gear, especially
when travelling downhill;
l Machine speeds should be kept low on -
slopes and during tight turns;
l Stay alert for humps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
l Never mow across the face of the slope.
7) Stop the blades rotating before crossing
surfaces other than grass. When moving the
Garden-tractor away from the lawn disengage
the blades and put the cutting plate into the
highest position.
8) Never operate the Garden-tractor as a Cutter-
deck with defective guards, or without safety
devices, for example deflectors and/or grass
catchers, in place.
9) Do not change the engine governor settings
or over speed the engine. Operating the
engine at excessive speed can increase the
hazard of personal injury.
