2.1 SAFETY SIGNS (Fig.12)
(Make reference also to the instruction manual of
the machine where this attachment will be
assembled).
The attachment has adhesive labels with brief
instructions on them in order to avoid incorrect
operations and possible accidents:
1) Before starting the machine, carefully read the
instruction manual (this symbol is placed on the
front cover of the instruction manual)
2) Before carrying out any maintenance, stop the
engine and read the handbook.
3) Hazard due to the possible flinging of blunt
instruments. Make sure that there are no people
or pets around the working area which could
be hit by the blunt instruments.
4) Shearing hazard of limbs. While the machine
is working, keep at a safe distance from the
moving parts, in particular keep away from the
cutter bar front for all its cutting length.

2.2 CLOTHES

- Do not wear loose-fitting and fluttering clothes
as well as necklaces, scarves and ties: they
could get entangled in the moving parts.
- Long hair shall be tied with a ribbon
- We recommend to wear suitable shoes; do not
work with bare feet or with sandals or slippers.

2.3 ECOLOGY AND POLLUTION

- Keep the lubricants out of the children's reach.
Read the warnings and the precautions marked
on the containers of the lubricants carefully. After
using them, wash your hands with plenty of
water. Dispose of the used lubricants in
compliance with the anti-pollution regulations in
force.
- Comply with the laws in force in the country
where the machine is used concerning the use
and disposal of the products used to clean and
maintain the attachment.
- If the attachment is dismantled, comply with the
anti-pollution regulations in force in the country
where the attachment is used.

2.4 SAFE OPERATION

- It is strictly forbidden to start the attachment or
to have it started by anyone who has not read
and understood what is described in this manual,
as well as by unskilled people, by people who
are not in good health or who are less than 14
years old.
- Before starting to work, make sure that the cutter
bar is secured properly, by checking all the
connections (screws, nuts, Victaulic couplings).
Then remove the guard.
- When the attachment is working, you shall
prevent anybody from approaching the
attachment front. It is strictly forbidden to stand
in the operating range of the attachment.
The operator shall be responsible for any
damages to third parties.
- Remove the visible foreign bodies, if any, from
the area to be mown. During work, be careful
not to hit any foreign body hidden in the grass.
- If the cutter bar clogs or stops, stop the engine
and then remove the grass or the foreign body.
- If the cutter bar hits something accidentally, stop
the engine and check if it is damaged; if it does
not work properly, the cutter bar shall be
inspected by a skilled technician.
- Remember that there is a serious hazard of injures
to hands and feet, while using the cutter bar.
- While mowing on a sloping ground, be very
careful. Be very careful with your feet. Cut the
grass with a sideway movement across the
sloping area, never mow uphill nor downhill,
never mow when the ground is too steep
because the machine could turn over.
- Do not position the machine on a sloping ground.
- Never use the cutter bar if the guards and the
protections are defective or if the safety devices
are disconnected or not in perfect working order.
- For safety reasons, the engine shall never
exceed the number of revolutions marked on its
name plate.
- During transport and during the handling
operations and at the end of any work,
reassemble the special guard.
- Do not touch the moving parts and do not go
between them: keep at a safe distance.
- During the maintenance operations, operate the
machine in airy rooms: the exhaust gas is
harmful to the health.
2.5 MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
UNDER SAFETY CONDITIONS
- Periodically check that all the parts and the safety
devices of the attachment are in good conditions.
