GENERAL REGULATIONS
2.1
Precautions while working
•
Work carried out on the lawn-tractor is not as a rule any
more dangerous than any other normal mechanical work
and accidents are preventable with the normal care and
attention taken for this type of work.
•
Other than the usual safety regulations connected with
typical workshop conditions, we recommend:
-
taking out the ignition key before beginning any repair
work,
-
protecting hands with suitable work gloves, especially
when working on the blades or handling the parts in
steel plate,
-
ensuring that other persons cannot accidentally carry
out actions that may physically endanger whoever is
working on the lawn-tractor.
2.2
Slings
•
The lawn-tractor must never be lifted using a hoist or
other lifting equipment which uses ropes.
2.3
Lifting
•
The Lawn-Tractor can be lifted by the front section using
a jack placed under the lower section of the chassis and
with a wooden block [1] between the jack and the
chassis, taking care to prevent the front beam from
swinging freely. The rear section is lifted by placing a
suitable block [2] under the lower section of the plate.
•
In any case, an appropriately sized wedge should be
placed behind the opposite wheels to stop the
lawn-tractor from accidentally moving backwards.
