Child Safety; Fire Safety - EMAK EF 92S/13H Manual Del Usuario

! The rotating blades are sharp and may cause injury. When handling the blades, wrap them or wear
protective gloves.
! Regularly check the nuts and bolts that hold the blades, and make sure they are tightened to the right
level of torque ( 6.3.6).
! Pay special attention to the self-locking nuts. After a nut has been removed twice, its self-locking
ability is reduced, and it must be replaced with a new one.
! Regularly check the components and, when necessary, replace them according to the manufacturer's
recommendation.
2.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKING ON SLOPES
Slopes are a main cause of accidents, loss of control and overturning. These can lead to severe injury or
death. Always use extra caution when mowing on slopes. If you are not sure or are unable to mow on a
slope, don't do it.
! The self-propelled mower can be used on slopes of no more than 10° (17%), when using the 4x4 drive
at a maximum slope of 15° (27%) and only vertically, i.e., upward or downward. More information
5.5.4.
! Extra caution is necessary when turning. Do not turn around on a slope unless absolutely necessary.
! Beware of holes, roots or uneven terrain. Uneven terrain may cause your machine to overturn. Tall
grass may conceal dangerous obstacles. Therefore, remove all obstacles from the mowing surface
ahead of time.
! Select a speed that will not require you to stop on a slope.
! Be very careful when attaching the grass catcher or other attachments. They may reduce the machine's
stability.
! Always move slowly and smoothly on a slope. Do not change speed or direction suddenly.
! Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the wheels lose traction, turn off power to the blades and
slowly drive down the slope.
! Accelerate very slowly and carefully on slopes, to prevent the machine from lurching. Before a slope,
always reduce the engine speed. Especially when driving downward, reduce the speed to the minimum
for using the transmission's braking effect.

2.3 CHILD SAFETY

If the operator is not alert to the presence of children, a tragic accident may occur. The mower's
movement attracts their attention. Never assume that children will stay where you saw them last.
! Never leave children unsupervised in mowing areas.
! Never allow children to operate this machine!
! Be alert and ready to stop your machine in case of an emergency.
! Before and and while backing up, look to the rear and at the ground.
! Never transport children on the mower. They can fall and be severely injured or dangerously interfere
with your operation of the mower. Never allow children to operate the machine.
! Take extra care in areas of limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).

2.4 FIRE SAFETY

While using the mower, you must observe all work and fire safety rules relevant to this type of machine.
! Regularly remove flammable materials (dry grass, leaves, etc.) from the area of the engine exhaust,
battery and anywhere where they might come into contact with petrol or oil, ignite and set the machine
on fire.
! Allow the mower's engine to cool before storing it in an enclosed space.
! Use extra caution when working with petrol, oil and other flammable substances. These are highly
flammable substances, and their fumes are explosive. Do not smoke while working. Never unscrew the
fuel cap, and never add fuel when the engine is running or is warm, or if the machine is in an enclosed
space.
