SAFETY, OPERATORS, MAINTENANCE & PARTS MANUAL
3.6
LEAVING THE DRIVING POSITION
•
Park the machine on level ground.
•
Before leaving the driving position, stop the
engine and make sure all moving parts are
stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all
drives. Remove the starter key.
3.7
SLOPES
TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WORKING ON
SLOPES
•
Local undulations and sinkage will change the
general slope. Avoid ground conditions which can
cause the machine to slide.
•
Keep machine speeds low on slopes and during
tight turns.
•
Sudden decelerating or braking can cause the
rear wheels to lift. Remember there is no such
thing as a “safe” slope.
•
Travel on grass slopes requires particular care.
DO NOT USE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 15°
IMPORTANT: When working on any slope select
weight transfer, having adjusted to provide
adequote traction.
3.8
BLOCKED CUTTING CYLINDERS
•
Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts
are stationary.
•
Apply brakes and disengage all drives.
•
Release blockages with care. Keep all parts of
the body away from the cutting edge. Beware of
energy in the drive which can cause rotation
when the blockage is released.
•
Keep other people away from the cutting units as
rotation of one cylinder can cause the others to
rotate.
3.9
ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATION AND
MAINTENANCE
•
Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts
are stationary.
•
Apply brakes and disengage all drives.
•
Read all the appropriate servicing instructions.
•
Use only the replacement parts supplied by the
original manufacturer.
•
When adjusting the cutting cylinders take care
not to get hands and feet trapped when rotating
cylinders.
•
Make sure that other people are not touching any
cutting units, as rotation of one cylinder can
cause the others to rotate.

To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
silencer and battery compartments free of grass,
leaves or excessive grease.
•
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
•
When working underneath lifted parts or
machines, make sure adequate support Is
provided.
•
Do not dismantle the machine without releasing
or restraining forces which can cause parts to
move suddenly.
•
Do not alter engine speed above maximum
quoted in Engine Specification. Do not change
the engine governor settings or overspeed the
engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed
may increase the hazard of personal injury.
•
When refuelling, STOP THE ENGINE, DO NOT
SMOKE. Add fuel before starting the engine,
never add fuel while the engine is running.

Use a funnel when pouring fuel from a can into
the tank.

filler neck.
•
Replace all fuel tank and container caps
securely.
•
Store fuel in containers specifically designed for
this purpose.
•
Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while
refuelling.
•
If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the
engine but move the machine away from the area
of spillage and avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapours have dissipated.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
•
Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank
inside a building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
•
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors.

Do not spill fuel onto hot components.
•
When servicing batteries, DO NOT SMOKE, and
keep naked lights away.
