2.1 SAFETY REGULATIONS

A) Qualification of operators
All maintenance, disassembly and repairs must be
carried out by expert mechanics who are familiar
with all the accident prevention and safety regula-
tions after reading through the procedures in this
manual.
B) Safety measures
All the machines are manufactured in accordance
with the strict European safety regulations in force.
To maintain these levels of safety in the longer term,
the Service Centres should work to this end by
making appropriate checks every time there is the
chance to do so.
Particularly, every time there is work done on the
machine the Service Centre should:
1) check:
– that safety microswitches are working cor-
rectly [see 7.3];
– that the casings and protection covers have
not been removed;
– that the labels with instructions or provisions
have not been removed or have become illegi-
ble (these form an integral part of the safety
system).
2) they should also:
– restore to proper working order any safety
devices which have been manipulated or
removed;
– reattach inefficient, damaged or missing cas-
ings and protection covers;
– replace illegible labels;
– not endorse any repair or modification on the
machine or the engine which results in a
change in performance or use that is incorrect
or different from the purpose for which it was
designed and approved;
– warn the Customer that the failure to comply
with the above points results in the automatic
annulment of the Guarantee and the Manufac-
turer declines all responsibility, as also shown
in chapter 1 of the Instruction Booklet.
C) Precautions during servicing
The operations described in this manual do not
entail particularly hazardous situations besides the
normal hazard related to mechanical operations

SAFETY REGULATIONS
and that can be avoided by taking the necessary
care and attention normally required for this type of
work.
As well as following the usual accident prevention
regulations that apply to most repair shops, we rec-
ommend you:
– taking out the ignition key before beginning
any repair work.
– protect hands with suitable working gloves,
especially when working near the cutting unit;
– check that you do not cause accidental petrol
leaks or other losses;
– do not smoke when working on the tank or
when handling petrol;
– do not inhale oil or petrol fumes;
– clean up all traces of spilt petrol immediately;
– test the engine in a well-ventilated environ-
ment or where there are adequate exhaust
fume extraction systems;
– do not pollute the environment with oil, petrol
or other waste and dispose of all waste in
accordance with the laws in force;
– ensure that other persons cannot accidentally
carry out actions that may physically endan-
ger those working on the machine.
D) Necessary equipment
All the operations can be carried out with the tools
normally used in a good garage.
Some operations require special equipment and
tools [u 2.2].
E) Symbols and terms used for safety purposes
Some paragraphs in this manual are preceded by
symbols which indicate the following:
Operations that should be carried out with
utmost care to avoid impairing the functionality
and safety of the lawnmower.
Operations that should be carried out with
utmost care to avoid injury to operators.
"WARNING" stresses the risk of injury to oneself
and others if instructions and regulations are not
observed
