other people or their property.

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.

of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.

 Replace all fuel tanks and container caps

securely.

4. Replace faulty silencers.

5. Before using, always visually inspect to see that

the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not

worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades

and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

6. On multibladed machines, take care as rotating

one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

OPERATION

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can

collect.

2. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

3. Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass,

where feasible.

7. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction

on slopes.

8. Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

9. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the

lawnmower towards you.

10. Stop the blade(s) if the lawnmower has to be

tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other

than grass, and when transporting the lawnmower to

and from the area to be mowed.

11. Never operate the lawnmower with defective

guards or shields, or without safety devices, for

example deflectors and/or grass catchers, in place.

12. Do not change the engine governor settings or

overspeed the engine.

13. Disengage all blade and drive clutches before

starting the engine.

14. Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully

according to instructions and with feet well away from

the blade(s).

15. Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the

engine or switching on the motor, except if the

lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. In this case,

do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift

only the part which is away from the operator.

16. Do not start the engine when standing in front of

the discharge chute.

17. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating

parts. Keep clear of the discharge opening at all

times.
