SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the instructions in this book are read and
fully understood.
No person should be allowed to operate this machine
unless they are fully acquainted with all the controls
and the safety procedures. Never allow children or
people unfamiliar with these instructions to use
this machine. Local regulations may restrict the age
of the operator.
SAFETY SIGNS
It is essential all safety labels are kept legible, if they
are missing or illegible they must be replaced. If any
part of the machine is replaced and it originally
carried a safety label, a new label must be affixed to
the replacement part. New safety labels are
obtainable from Ransomes dealers.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine check that the brakes are
applied, drives are in neutral, guards are in position
and intact, and bystanders are clear of the machine.
Do not run the engine in a building without adequate
ventilation.
DRIVING THE MACHINE
Before moving the machine, check to ensure that all
parts are in good working order, paying particular
attention to brakes, tyres, steering and the security of
cutting blades. Replace faulty silencers, mow only in
daylight or good artificial light
Always observe the Highway Code both on and off
the roads. Keep alert and aware at all times. Watch
out for traffic when crossing or near roadways. Stop
the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other
than grass.
Remember that some people are deaf or blind and
that children and animals can be unpredictable.
Keep travelling speeds low enough for an emergency
stop to be effective and safe at all times, in any
conditions.
Remove or avoid obstructions in the area to be cut,
thus reducing the possibility of injury to yourself and/
or bystanders.
When reversing, take special care to ensure that the
area behind is clear of obstructions and/or
bystanders. DO NOT carry passengers.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
When the machine is to be parked, stored or left
unattended, lower the cutting means unless the
transport locks are being used.
