SAFETY
10° (17%).
5) Remember there is no such thing as
a "safe" slope. Travelling on grass slopes
requires particular care. To guard against
overturning:
– do not stop or start suddenly when
going up or downhill;
– engage the drive slowly and always
keep the machine in gear, especially
when travelling downhill;
– machine speeds should be kept low on
slopes and during tight turns;
– tay alert for humps and hollows and
other hidden hazards;
– never mow across the face of the
slope.
6) Use care when pulling loads or using
heavy equipment:
– use only approved drawbar hitch
points;
– limit loads to those you can safely con-
trol;
– do not turn sharply. Use care when
reversing;
– use counterweight(s) or wheel weights
whenever advised in the instructions
manual.
7) Disengage the blades before crossing
surfaces other than grass.
8) Never use the machine with dam-
aged guards, or without the safety pro-
tective devices in place.
9) Do not change the engine governor
settings or overspeed the engine.
Operating the engine at excessive speed
can increase the risk of personal injury.
10) Before leaving the driving seat:
– disengage the blades and lower the
attachments;
– go into neutral and apply the parking
brake;
– stop the engine and remove the ignition
key.
11) Disengage the blades, stop the
engine and remove the ignition key:
– before cleaning, checking or servicing
the machine;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect
the machine for damage and make
repairs before restarting and operating
the machine;
– If the machine starts to vibrate abnor-
mally (check for the causes immediate-
ly).
12) Disengage the blades for transport or
whenever they are not in use.
13) Stop the engine and disengage the
blades:
– before refuelling;
14) Reduce the throttle during engine
run-out. If the engine is provided with a
shut-off valve, cut off the fuel when you
have finished mowing.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to
be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
2) Never store the equipment with petrol
in the tank inside a building where fumes
may reach an open flame or spark.
3) Allow the engine to cool before storing
in any enclosure.
4) To reduce fire hazards, keep the
engine, silencer, battery compartment
and petrol storage area free of grass,
leaves, or excessive grease.
5) Replace worn or damaged parts for
safety purposes.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this
should be done outdoors.
7) On multi-bladed machines, remember
that the rotation of one blade can cause
other blades to rotate.
8) When the machine is to be stored or
left unattended, lower the cutting deck.
