• Read all the appropriate servicing instructions.
• Use only the replacement parts supplied by the original manufacturer.
• When adjusting the cutter blades take care not to get hands and feet trapped when rotating blades.
• Make sure that other people are not touching any cutting unit, as rotation of one blade can cause the

• To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer and battery compartments free of grass, leaves or
excessive grease.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• When working underneath lifted parts or machines, make sure adequate support Is provided.
• Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or restraining forces which can cause parts to move
suddenly.
• Do not alter engine speed above maximum quoted in Engine Specification. Do not change the engine
governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed may increase
the hazard of personal injury.
• When refuelling, STOP THE ENGINE, DO NOT SMOKE. Add fuel before starting the engine, never
add fuel while the engine is running.

and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapours have dissipated.

• Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
