2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the
equipment is to be used and remove all
objects which may be thrown by the
machine (stones, sticks, metal wire, bones,
etc.)
3) WARNING: Engine fuel is highly flammable:
- Store fuel in containers specifically
designed for this purpose.
- Refuel using a funnel and outdoors only. Do
not smoke while refuelling or whenever
handling the fuel.
- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never
remove the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel
while the engine is running or when the
engine is hot.
- 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 the fuel has
evaporated and the fumes dispersed.
- Tighten caps of all fuel tanks and
containers securely.
4) Replace faulty silencers.
5) Before using, always carry out visual
inspection, particularly of the blades, seeing
that the screws and cutter assembly are not
worn or damaged. Replace worn or
damaged blades and screws in sets to
preserve balance.
6) Before mowing, attach the discharge
opening guards (grass-catcher or deflector).
7) Take care as the rotation of one blade can
cause the other blade to turn.
C) OPERAITON
1) Do not operate the engine in a confined
space where dangerous carbon monoxide
fumes can collect.
2) Mow only in daylight good artificial light.
3) Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass,
where feasible.
4) Before starting the engine, disengage the
blades, shift into neutral and engage the
parking brake.
5) Do not use on slopes of more than 10°(17%).
6) Remember there is no such thing as a “safe”
slope.
Travel on grass slopes requires particular
care. To guard against overturning:
- It is advisable to use a rear counterweight
(supplied on request);
- Do not stop or start suddenly when going
up or downhill;
- Always keep the machine in gear,
especially when traveling downhill;
- Machine speeds should be kept low on
slopes and during tight turns;
- Stay alert for humps and hollows and other
hidden hazards;
- Never mow across the face of the slope.
7) Stop the blades rotating before crossing
surfaces other than grass. When moving the
Front Mower away from the lawn disengage
the blades and put the cutting plate into the
highest position.
8) Never operate the Front Mower as a Mower-
deck with defective guards, or without safety
devices, for example deflectors and/or grass
catchers, in place.
9) Do not change the engine governor settings
or overspeed the engine. Operating the
engine at excessive speed can increase the
hazard of personal injury.
10) Before leaving the operator’s position:
- Disengage the blades and lower the
Mower-deck.
- Charge into neutral and set the parking
brake.
- Stop the engine and remove the key.
11) Disengage blades, stop the engine and
remove key:
- Before carrying out any work beneath the
cutting deck or unclogging the chute;
