MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Never store the tractor with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
When the tractor is to be parked, stored or left unattended turn the in-line fuel tap to the closed position,
apply the parking brake and remove the ignition key.
When the tractor is to be parked, stored or left unattended, raise the cutterdeck to the highest cut height and
lower the powered sweeper collector to the ground.
Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer, fuel tank and battery compartment free of grass, leaves
or excessive grease.
Frequently check fuel lines and fittings for cracks or leaks and replace if necessary.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Ensure that all safety decals are properly secured and in good condition.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades
and fixed parts of the tractor.
Never work on the tractor or sweeper collector while the engine is running.
Health and Safety at Work Act:
In accordance with section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the garden tractor and powered
sweeper collector have been designed and constructed so that, in so far as is reasonably practical, they will
not endanger the safety and health of those working with them. This is, however, subject to the equipment
being properly used and maintained according to the conditions stated in this manual and elsewhere, which
have been found necessary as a result of the research and testing of Hayter Limited.
