The Harrier 48 is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the
following simple precautions may result in serious injury.
Training:
Read the instructions carefully. Ensure that you are familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.
Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people
or their property.
Preparation:
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the
equipment when barefoot or wearing sandals.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove all objects which may
be thrown by the machine.
WARNING: Petrol is highly flammable.
- Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.
- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.
- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add petrol
while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool for at least 2
minutes before refuelling.
- Do not attempt to start the engine if petrol is spilled or a smell of petrol is present. Move
the mower away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until
petrol vapours have dissipated.
- Always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage.
