Page 9: Children
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not cut close to edges, ditches or banks. The machine can suddenly tip over if a wheel goes over the edge of a drop or a ditch, or if a bank gives way. • Do not cut wet grass. It is slippery and the tyres can loose their grip so that the machine slides. - Page 10 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Check the fuel level each time before using the machine, and leave space for the fuel to expand since the heat from the engine and hot sun can cause the fuel to run over. • Avoid overfilling. If petrol has been spilt on the machine wipe it up and wait until it has evapor- ated before starting the engine.
