SAFETY REGULATIONS

TO BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the controls
and proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the engine
quickly.
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for which it was
designed, i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any other use can
be hazardous, causing damage to the machine.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions
to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
4) Never use the lawnmower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that can affect
his ability to react and concentrate.
5) Remember that the operator or user is responsible for accidents
or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
B) PREPARATION
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wear-
ing 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 or
damage the cutter assembly and the engine (stones, sticks, metal
wire, bones, etc.)
3) WARNING: DANGER! Engine fuel is highly flammable:
– Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
– Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do not smoke while
refuelling or whenever handling the fuel.
– 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.
– 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 vapour dis-
persed.
– Replace all fuel tanks and containers caps securely.
4) Substitute faulty silencers.
5) Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the con-
dition of the blades, and check that the screws and cutting
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 stone-guard).
C) 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) If possible, avoid operating the equipment in wet grass.
4) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
5) Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled along by
the lawnmower.
6) Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
7) Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
8) Do not mow on slopes of more than 20°.
9) Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawnmower towards
you.
10) Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for trans-
portation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when trans-
porting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.
11) Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or without
18
safety devices, such as the stone-guard and/or grass-catcher, in
place.
12) Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the
engine.
13) On power-driven models, disengage the drive clutch before
starting the engine.
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.
– Before adjusting the grass cutting height.
20) Reduce the throttle before turning off the engine and turn the
fuel off when you have finished mowing, following the instructions
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.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is
in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is essential 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 specialized 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 equip-
ment and be dangerous for your safety.
E) 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.
