• 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 when smoking or near open
flames or sparks. The battery can explode
and cause serious injury/damage.
• Ensure that nuts and bolts, especially the
fastening bolts for the blade attachments,
are properly tightened, torqued 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 with
defective or unmounted protective
plates, protective cowlings, safety
switches, or other protective devices.
• Do not change the settings of governors
and avoid running the engine with overly
high engine speeds. If you run the
engine too fast, you risk damaging the
machine components.
• Sparking can occur when working with the
battery and the heavy cables of the starter
circuit. This can cause battery explosion,
fire or eye injury. Sparking in this circuit
can not occur after the chassis cable
(normally negative, black) is removed
from the battery.
WARNING!
Avoid electrical sparking and its
consequences by the following
routines:
Use protective goggles.
Ensure that the fuel filler cap is mounted
and no flammable substances is stored in
an open vessel.
Never work with the starter circuit if there
is spilled fuel.
Disconnect the chassis cable from the
battery first and reconnect it last.
Do not make a bridge short curcuit across
the starter relay to run the starter.
• Never use the machine indoors or in
spaces lacking proper ventilation. The
exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
an odorless, poisonous, and lethal gas.
