WARNING!
before using the machine.
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Be
familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the equipment.
2) Never allow children or people unfa-
miliar with these instructions to use the
lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict
the age of the operator.
3) Never mow while people, especially
children, or pets are nearby.
4) Keep in mind that the operator or user
is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their pro-
perty.
5) Do not carry passengers.
6) All drivers should seek and obtain pro-
fessional and practical instruction. Such
instruction should emphasise:
– the need for care and concentration
when working with ride-on machines;
– control of a ride-on machine sliding on
a slope will not be regained by the
application of the brake. The main rea-
sons for loss of control are:
– insufficient wheel grip;
– being driven too fast;
– inadequate braking;
– the type of machine is unsuitable for
its task;
– lack of awareness of the effect of
ground conditions, especially slopes;
– incorrect hitching and load distribu-
tion.
B) PREPARATION
1) While mowing, always wear sub-
stantial 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 can be thrown by the

– store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose;
– refuel outdoors only and do not smoke
while refuelling;
– add fuel before starting the engine.
Never remove the cap of the fuel
tank or add petrol while the engine is
running or when the engine is hot;
– If petrol 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 petrol vapours have dissipat-
ed;
– replace all fuel tank 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 dam-
aged. 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.
C) OPERATION
1) Do not operate the engine in a con-
fined space where dangerous carbon
monoxide fumes can collect.
2) Mow only in daylight or good artificial
light.
3) Before attempting to start the engine,
disengage all blade attachment clutches
and shift into neutral.
