Preparation; Operation - Hayter CODE373A Operator's Manual

Preparation

1. Keep bystanders, especially children, and pets, out of the operating area.
2. Do not operate the machine without all guards and safety devices, such as deflectors and grass catchers,
in place and functioning properly on the machine.
3. Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that could interfere with the
operation of the machine or that the machine could throw.
4. Before using the machine, ensure that the blade, blade bolt, and blade assembly are not worn or
damaged. Replace any damaged or unreadable labels.
5. Use only the battery pack specified by Hayter. Using other accessories and attachments may increase
the risk of injury and fire.
6. Plugging the battery charger into an outlet that is not 100 to 240V can cause a fire or electric shock. Do
not plug the battery charger into an outlet other than 100 to 240V. For a different style of connection,
use an attachment plug adapter of the proper configuration for the power outlet if needed.
7. Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or battery charger, which may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour that results in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
8. If the supply cord to the battery charger is damaged, contact an Authorised Service Dealer to replace it.
9. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.
10. Charge the battery pack with only the battery charger specified by Hayter. A charger suitable for 1 type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
11. Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated area only.
12. Do not expose a battery pack or battery charger to fire or to temperatures higher than 68°C (154°F).
13. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Otherwise, you may damage the battery pack and increase the risk of fire.
14. Dress properly — Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long trousers; substantial, slip-
resistant footwear (not barefoot or wearing sandals); and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do
not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can get caught in moving parts.

Operation

area and all moving parts of the machine. Keep clear of any discharge opening.
2. Using this machine for purposes other than its intended use could prove dangerous to you and

3. Disengage the self-propel drive (if equipped) before starting the machine.
4. Prevent unintentional starting—Ensure that the electric-start button is removed from the ignition before
connecting the battery pack and handling the machine.
5. Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes
distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
6. Stop the machine, remove the electric-start button, remove the battery pack from the machine, and
wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
7. Remove the battery pack and electric-start button from the machine whenever you leave it unattended
or before changing accessories.
