RESIDUAL RISKS THAT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED (VALID FOR ALL MODELS)

DEFINITION: Residual risks that cannot be eliminated are all of those risks that, for several reasons, cannot be
removed, and for each one we provide the instructions to operate in maximum safety.
The specific risks for combustion engines and batteries are shown in succession, in separate sections.
ƒ The risk of injury to hands, body and eyesight, by operating the machine without using safety pro-
tections correctly assembled and fully intact.
ƒ The risk of injuries to hands if, for any reason, you touch the side broom or the central broom, as they
are spinning. The brooms can only be touched when the motor is switched off and with the aid of pro-
tective gloves, to avoid poking or cutting yourself with sharp slivers of debris in the bristles.
ƒ The risk of inhaling harmful substances, scratches to hands, when emptying out the container (hop-
per), without using protective gloves and mask to protect the respiratory tract.
ƒ There is a risk of not controlling the machine when using it on gradients of more than 2% or of not
braking it when it is parked, inasmuch as the machine does not have its own braking system and could
collide with and injure/damage persons and property.

Please also refer to the Safety Instructions chapter of the enclosed Honda engine manual.
ƒ Risk of severe burns if any type of operation is carried out on the engine while it is running or not com-
pletely cooled.
ƒ Risk of severe burns if any type of operation is carried out on the engine while it is running or not com-
pletely cooled
ƒ Risk of inhalation of exhaust gases when used in an inadequately ventilated place.
ƒ Risk of serious burns when filling the new dry-charge battery(ies) with sulphuric acid solution. The
sulphuric acid solution must be kept out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, rinse tho-
roughly with water and consult a doctor; do not pour water on the product.
ƒ Before re-charging the batteries make sure the room is well-ventilated or re-charge the batteries in
facilities set up specifically for this purpose.
ƒ Do not smoke, do not approach open flames, do not use emery wheels and welding machines; in any
case, do not cause sparks near the batteries.
ƒ Do not draw current from the battery with clamps, plugs and provisional contacts.
ƒ Make sure that all connections (wire terminals, plugs, sockets, etc.) are tightened correctly and in good
working conditions.
ƒ Do not place metal tools on the battery.
ƒ Keep the battery clean and dry, possibly with the use of anti-static cloths.
ƒ Top-up with distilled water every time the electrolyte level drops to 5 - 10 mm from the splash-guard.
ƒ Avoid charging it too much it and keep the battery temperature below 45°C.
ƒ Keep any centralised topping-up systems in perfect working order by performing periodic
maintenance.
ƒ The risk of electrocution and short circuiting; for safety, before carrying out any maintenance or repairs
on the batteries (or the machine), disconnect the +/- clamps from the battery poles.
ƒ The risk of explosion during charging; this may occur if you attempt to use an unsuitable battery char-
ger (based on the Amperes of the battery).
ƒ While charging the battery, or, nevertheless, when the battery charger plug is plugged in, it is forbid-
den to turn the machine on and it is forbidden to move it (including manually).
