Work Area - Hyundai HY2193 Instruction Manual

Work Area

!
• Make sure you thoroughly inspect the entire work area and remove all objects and anything
that could be thrown by the machine or could damage the machine (branches, stones,
wire, toys, etc.). Attempting to clear the work area whilst using the machine will reduce your
concentration and creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilled on the floor may result in you
slipping.
• You must only work in daylight or with good artificial light in good visibility conditions. Keep
people, children and animals away from the working area. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
• Operate on flat, level ground.
• Use the unit in dry conditions only. Protect it from rain and moisture. If there has been heavy
rain on the working site, wait until the ground has dried up.
• Never park the machine in a place with unstable ground which could give way.
• You must pay special attention when approaching obstacles that could compromise
visibility.
• When mowing on slopes, you must mow across the slope and not up and down it. When
changing direction, you need to be careful that the wheels do not hit any obstacles (such
as roots, branches, stones, etc.) that can cause the lawnmower to slide sideways or make
you lose control of it. Make sure on slopes you have a steady foothold.
• The lawnmower must never be used on slopes of over 20°, regardless of the mowing
direction.
• You must be careful near ravines, ditches or embankments.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay
alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Find and locate all fixed objects in the ground, such as sprinkler systems, poles, water valves,
bases for washing lines etc. Make sure that you check for hidden electrical cables or similar
on the surface of the lawn. ALWAYS run the machine around these objects. NEVER
intentionally run the machine over foreign objects.
• Pay the utmost attention when working on frozen ground as the machine may tend to skid.
• Do not work in the rain or when there is a thunderstorm or lightning risk. If there is bad
weather conditions, do not use the machine.
• Never run over gravel while the motor is running. There is a risk of being hit by stones.
• Switch the lawnmower off before tilting or transporting it, e.g. from/to lawn or over paths
