2If you spill fuel or engine oil on yourself or your
clothes. Change your clothes.
3If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•
The fuel and engine oil tanks should be emptied
before longer periods of storage or when transporting
the lawn mower. Ask where you can dispose of
surplus fuel and engine oil at your local petrol station.
•
Always store the lawn mower and fuel so that any
leakage or vapours do not risk coming into contact
with sparks or naked flames. For example, electrical
machines, electric motors, relays/switches, boilers, or
the like.
•
Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
General working instructions
WARNING! This section describes basic
!
safety precautions for working with the
lawn mower. This information is never a
substitute for professional skills and
experience. If you get into a situation
where you feel unsure about how to
progress, stop and seek expert advice.
Contact your dealer, service agent or an
experienced lawn mower user. Avoid all
usage which you consider to be beyond
your capability
Basic safety rules
•
Look around you:
- To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot
affect your control of the machine.
- To make sure that none of the above might come into
contact with the cutting equipment.
•
Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from
the lawn before you start to mow. Make sure the cutter
does not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or
the like. This can make the cutter dull and bend the
engine shaft.
•
Only use the machine in daylight or in other well-lit
conditions.
•
Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when
the engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower,
first switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition
lead from the spark plug.
•
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings
added risks, such as icy ground.
•
Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
•
The lawn mower should not be used on inclines
greater than 15 degrees. Inclines that are too great
can result in fuel leakage
•
The engine should be switched off when moving over
ground that is not to be mowed. For example, gravel
paths, stone, shingle, asphalt, etc.
•
The brake handle must never be permanently
anchored in handle when the machine is running.
Follow the instructions above, but do not use a lawn
mower in a situation where you cannot call for help in case
of an accident.
Basic mowing technique
WARNING! Make sure that your hands
!
and feet do not come near the cutting
attachment when the engine is running.
General
•
Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the
lawn mower on very steep slopes.
•
The lawn mower should not be used on inclines
greater than 15 degrees. Inclines that are too great
can result in fuel leakage
•
On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It
is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work
up and down it.
•
Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from
the lawn before you start to mow.
•
Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when
the engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower,
first switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition
lead from the spark plug.
•
Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such
as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter
dull and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle gives
imbalance and heavy vibration, which results in a
great risk of the cutter becoming loose.
If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from
the spark plug. Check that the machine is not
damaged. Repair any damage.
•
Never mow more than 1/3 of the length of the grass.
This especially applies during dry periods. Mow first
with the cutting height set high. Then check the result
