1 Basic precautions
1.4 Do not drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.
•
Never use the machine if you are under the influence of alcohol, if you are ill or if you do not
feel well as this may cause an accident.
1.5 Provide adequate ventilation when working in an enclosed
space
•
The engine exhaust fumes are harmful to the human
body and it is very dangerous to inhale them. When you
start the engine in an enclosed space, open the windows
and doors to let air circulate.
•
Never let the engine idle unnecessarily and never leave
the engine running when you are not using the machine.
•
Provide respirators based on working conditions to en-
sure the machine operator works safely.
1.6 Protect plants from hot air and exhaust fumes
•
The silencer and radiator release hot air and exhaust fumes at high temperatures. If the hot air
directly reaches a plant, it alters its state and may cause its death.
•
Protect plants from hot air and exhaust fumes with a protective plate when you are working
near a hedge or plants.
1.7 Keep fuel and oil away from sparks
•
Leaving flames near fuel, oil, hydraulic oil or anti-
freeze solutions, which are highly flammable and danger-
ous, may cause a fire.
•
Specific attention must be paid to the following points :
– Keep flammable materials away from cigarettes, lit
matches or any source of fire.
– Never top up any fluids while the engine is running.
Do not smoke when topping up any fluids.
– Tighten the fuel and oil tank caps firmly.
•
Store fuel and oil in a cool, well-ventilated place away
from direct sunlight.
• The fuel and oil must be stored in a place that responds
to applicable safety regulations. Unauthorised personnel
must not enter this area.
