Operation; Emptying The Grassbox - Qualcast MEH1533 Instruction Manual

Operating Instructions & Tips

Operation

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
corresponds to your mains supply.
IMPORTANT! Always ensure the on/off switch is working correctly. Do not use if you suspect a fault.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the blade is not
rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.
IMPORTANT! Never empty the grass box if the motor is still running. The rotating blade can cause
serious injuries and throw objects out at high speed.
Always ensure grass box fits securely. Always switch off the motor before you remove it.
A safe distance between the blade deck and the user is provided by the length of the handle. This
distance must be maintained at all times. Take special care when mowing and changing direction on
embankments and slopes. Ensure that you have a secure surface to stand on, wear shoes with anti-
slip soles that offer good grip, and long trousers. Always mow across the slope (not in up or down
direction).
Do not use the mower on gradients exceeding 15° for safety reasons.
Take special care when moving backwards and pulling the hover mower. Never pull the mower
backwards when the motor is running.
