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 for maintaining performance levels.
2) Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes 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. Always empty the grass-catcher and
do not leave garden rubbish containers inside a room.
5) Check the deflector and grass catcher frequently for wear and deterioration.
6) For reasons of safety, do not use 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 which are not of an equivalent quality can damage the equipment and may adversely
affect your safety.
7) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors and when the engine is
cool.
8) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the blades.
9) Check the blades' balance after sharpening.
10) Take care as the rotation of one blade can cause the other blade to turn.
11) When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting deck.
12) The ignition key must never be left inserted in the machine, or where children or persons
not familiar to the machine may reach it. Before any maintenance or repair, remove the
ignition key.
E) TRANSPORTING
1) If the tractor is transported on a truck or trailer, lower the cutting deck, engage the parking
brake and fasten the lawn-tractor securely with ropes, cables or chains to the hauling device.
