Children; Maintenance - Husqvarna P 524 Operator's Manual

• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if it proves
necessary, turn slowly and gradually downward, if
possible. Drive slowly. Do not turn the wheel sharply.
• Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes, and
bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven
ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Do not mow near verges, ditches, or banks. The machine
can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over the edge
of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives way.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose
their grip so that the machine skids.
• Try not to stabilise the machine by putting your foot on the
ground.
• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
driven near verges or ditches.
• When mowing, keep away from bushes and other objects.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding
wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase
machine stability.

Children

• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on guard for
children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are often
attracted to the machine and mowing. Never assume that
children will stay put where you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the mowing area and under
close supervision by another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter
the work area.
• Before and during a reversing manoeuvre, look backward
and downward for small children.
• Never allow a child to ride with you. They can fall off and
seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe
manoeuvring of the machine.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or
other objects that block your view.

Maintenance

• Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from starting by
removing the spark plug cables from the spark plugs or by
removing the ignition key before making any adjustments
or performing maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely
flammable. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as
carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not fill petrol
in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames. Do not smoke.
• Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery with care, of
concern for the environment. Follow the local recycling
requirements.
• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables
when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition
system with your fingers.
WARNING!
!
The engine and the exhaust system become
very hot during operation. Risk of burn
injuries if touched. When mowing, keep away
from bushes and other materials in order to
avoid a heating effect.
