are nearby.

•  Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible 

for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or 

their property.

•  While mowing, always wear sub stan tial footwear and 

long trousers.  Do not operate the equipment when 

barefoot or wearing open sandals.

•  Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment

the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine 

is running or when the en gine is hot.

-  If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine 

but move the ma chine away from the area of spill-

age and avoid cre at ing any source of ig ni tion until 

petrol va pors have dis si pat ed.

- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps se-

 cure ly.

•  Replace faulty silencers.
•  Before using, always visually inspect to see that the 

blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn 

or dam aged.  Replace worn or damaged blades and 

bolts in sets to pre serve balance.

•  On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one 

blade can cause other blades to rotate.

•  Do not operate the engine in a confined space where 

dan ger ous carbon mon ox ide fumes can collect.

•  Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
•  Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where 

feasible.

•  Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

of slopes, never up and down.

•  Exercise extreme caution when chang ing direction 

on slopes.

•  Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
•  Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the 

lawnmower towards you.

•  Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for 

trans por ta tion when cross ing surfaces other than 

grass, and when transporting the lawnmower to and 

from the area to be mowed.

•  Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or 

without safety de vic es, for example deflectors and/or 

grass catchers, in place.

•  Do not change the engine governor settings or over-

speed the engine.  Op er at ing the engine at excessive 

speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.

•  Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting 

the engine.

•  Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully ac-

cording to instructions and with feet well away from 

the blade.

•  Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or 

switch ing on the motor, except if the lawnmower has 

to be tilted for starting.  In this case, do not tilt more 

than absolutely nec es sary and lift only the part which 

is away from the op er a tor.

discharge chute.

•  Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.  

Keep clear of the dis charge opening at all times.

mower;

-  after striking a foreign object.  Inspect the lawnmower 

for damage and make repairs before re start ing and 

op er at ing the lawnmower;

-  if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (check 

im me di ate ly).

•  Stop the engine:

- whenever you leave the lawnmower;
- before refuelling.

•  Reduce the throttle setting during en gine shut down 

and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, 

turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

•  Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the 

equip ment is in safe work ing condition.

•  Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside 

a building where fumes may reach an open flame or 

spark.

•  Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclo-

sure.

•  To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, 

battery compartment and petrol storage area free of 

grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

•  Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or de te -

ri o ra tion.
