Safety Instructions
• Shut down the blades when not mowing. The
blades must only be running when the cutting unit
is lowered and active when used for mowing.
• Be careful when rounding fixed objects, so that the
blades do not hit them. Never run the machine over
foreign objects.
• Never drive close to objects or other machines.
Remember that "Brake pedal reflex" from driving a
car has the opposite effect if you press on the
forward pedal.
WARNING:
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain
vehicle components contain or emit chemicals
considered to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive impairment. The engine emits carbon
monoxide, which is a colourless, poisonous gas. Do
not use the machine in enclosed spaces.
• Only use the machine in daylight or in other well-lit
conditions. Keep the machine at a safe distance
from holes or other irregularities in the ground. Pay
attention to other possible risks.
• Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have
consumed alcohol, or if you are taking other drugs
or medication that can affect your vision,
judgement, or co-ordination.
• Beware of traffic when working near or crossing a
road.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the
motor running. Always stop the blades, apply the
parking brake, stop the engine and remove the
keys before leaving the machine.
• Never allow children or other persons not trained in
the use of the machine to use or service it. Local
laws may regulate the age of the user.
WARNING:
You must use approved personal protective
equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal
protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of
injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an
accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
• Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of
hearing impairment.
• Wear approved protective goggles or a full visor
when driving.
