SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 set the
weight transfer, if fitted to its maximum (+) setting.
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.

quoted in Engine Specification. Do not
change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Operating the engine

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.
