Maintenance And Storage - Hayter CODE373A Operator's Manual

9. Stay alert—Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the machine. Do not use
the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
10. Operate the machine only in good visibility and appropriate weather conditions. Do not operate the
machine when there is the risk of lightning.
11. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine toward you.
12. Keep proper footing and balance at all times, especially on slopes. Mow across the face of slopes, never
up and down. Use extreme caution when changing directions on slopes. Do not mow exceedingly steep
slopes. Walk, never run with the machine.
13. Do not direct the discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction; material may ricochet toward you. Stop the blade(s) when crossing gravel surfaces.
14. Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could cause you to lose
your balance or footing.
15. Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. Avoid mowing in wet
conditions or when it is raining.
16. If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately shut off the machine, remove the
electric-start button, remove the battery pack, and wait for all movement to stop before examining the
machine for damage. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
17. Stop the machine and remove the electric-start button before loading the machine for hauling.
18. Under abusive conditions, the battery pack may eject liquid; avoid contact. If you accidently come into
contact with the liquid, flush with water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery pack may cause irritation or burns.

Maintenance and Storage

1. 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.
2. Do not attempt to repair the machine except as indicated in the instructions. Have an Authorised Service
Dealer perform service on the machine using identical replacement parts.
3. Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the machine.
4. Sharpen a dull blade on both cutting edges to maintain balance. Clean the blade and ensure that it is
balanced.
5. Replace the blade if it is bent, worn, or cracked. An unbalanced blade causes vibration, which could
damage the motor or cause personal injury.
6. When servicing the blade, be aware that the blade can still move even though the power source is off.
7. Check the grass collection bag frequently for deterioration or wear, and replace a worn bag with a Hayter
replacement bag.
8. For best performance, use only genuine Hayter replacement parts and accessories. Other replacement
parts and accessories could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty.
9. Maintain the machine—Keep cutting edges sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Keep
handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Keep guards in place and in working order. Keep blades
sharp. Use identical replacement blades only.
10. Check the machine for damaged parts—If there are damaged guards or other parts, determine whether
the machine will operate properly. Check for misaligned and binding moving parts, broken parts,
mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. Unless indicated in the instructions,
have an Authorised Service Dealer repair or replace a damaged guard or part.
