EN 12 Safety instructions
Never allow children or persons unfamiliar with these instructions for use to work with the
device.
The person operating the mower is responsible for safety of persons in the working area.
Never use the mower near otherpersons, children or freely moving animals.
Check the terrain on which the mower is to be used before beginning mowing and remove
stones, wires, sticks, shatters, bones and other foreign objects which might be stuck or flung
away and cause an injury.
Instructions for use
All nuts, pins and bolts must be tightened properly so that the device is in a safe and
serviceable condition.
Never use the mower without the collection basket or the protective cover.
Never use the mower with loosened knife blades. Always make sure in advance that the
respective bolts are tightened thoroughly. Blunt blades must be sharpened, and that must be
done evenly. Knives with damaged blades need to be replaced.
When working with the mower, use trousers with long legs and safety shoes.
Never start-up the mower in enclosed or badly ventilated areas where vapours may
accumulate. Emissions coming out from the engine contain carbon monoxide which is
dangerous to life.
Work only when lighting is adequate (daylight or sufficient illumination).
Do not use the mower when raining or grass is wet.
Be extremely careful when mowing on a raising terrain (slope). Always mow across the
slope, parallel with a contour line, never perpendicularly to it uphill/downhill.
Never let the mower run without an operator; if you leave the mower, switch the engine off.
When starting, never lift the rear part of the mower up and never draw your limbs near the
bogie or into the opening for rear grass spitting while the engine is running.
Never change engine speed setup.
As for the mowers with a travel, release the travel before starting-up the engine.
Never carry the mower over while the engine is running.
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug in following cases:
- Before performing any activity under the mowing cover or under the opening for rear
grass spitting.
- Before performing maintenance, repair or machine checkup.
- Before carrying, lifting-up or displacing the mower.
- When leaving the mower without supervision or intending to adjust mowing height setup.
- Before disassembling and emptying the collection basket.
- If a collision with a foreign object occurred, stop the engine and check the mower
carefully to exclude a possibility of damage. In a case of damage, transport the mower to
a specialized service station in order to get it repaired.
