Safety Instructions
flammable liquids are stored in an open container.
Do not work on the starter motor circuit in the vicinity of
spilt fuel.
Disconnect the battery's power connection cable (usually
the black negative cable) first and connect it last.
Exercise care with tools so that short circuiting does
not occur.
Do not short circuit across the starter relay's
connections to run the starter motor.
• Be especially careful when handling battery acid.
Acid on the skin can cause serious corrosive
injuries. In the event of spillage on the skin wash
immediately with water.
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a
doctor immediately.
• Be careful when servicing the battery. Explosive
gases form in the battery. Never perform
maintenance on the battery while smoking or in the
vicinity of open flames or sparks. This can cause
the battery to explode and cause serious injuries.
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly
and that the equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be
sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven
if protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or
other protective devices are not fitted or are defective.
• Do not change the settings of governors and avoid
running the engine with overly high engine speeds. If
you run too fast, you risk damaging the machine
components.
• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking
proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, an odourless, poisonous and highly
dangerous gas.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into
anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.
• The machine is tested and approved only with the
equipment originally provided or recommended by the
manufacturer.
• The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and gashes.
Wrap the blades or wear protective gloves when
handling them.
• Check the parking brake's functionality regularly. Adjust
and maintain as required.
• The mulching unit should only be used where better
quality mowing is required and in known areas.
