• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments,
are properly tightened, torqued and that the
equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check
regularly to be sure it works properly. The
machine must not be driven with defective
or unmounted protective plates, protective
cowlings, safety switches, or other protective
devices.
• Do not change the settings of governors and
avoid running the engine with overly high
engine speeds. If you run the engine too fast,
you risk damaging the machine components.
• Sparking can occur when working with the
battery and the heavy cables of the starter
circuit. This can cause battery explosion,
fire or eye injury. Sparking in this circuit can
not occur after the chassis cable (normally
negative, black) is removed from the battery.
WARNING!
Avoid electrical sparking and its
consequences by the following
routines:
• Use protective goggles.
• Ensure that the fuel filler cap is mounted
tightly and no flammable substances are
stored in an open vessel.
• Never work with the starter circuit if there is
spilled fuel.
• Disconnect the chassis cable from the
battery first and reconnect it last.
• Do not make a bridge short circuit across the
starter relay to run the starter.
• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces
lacking proper ventilation. The exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless, poisonous, and lethal gas.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run
over or into anything. If necessary, make
repairs before starting.
• Never make adjustments with the engine
running.
• The machine is tested and approved only
with the equipment originally provided or
recommended by the manufacturer. Only use
approved repair parts for the machine.
