I. Training
Read the instructions carefully.
Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.

Before attemptingto start the engine, disengage all blade
attachment clutches and shift into neutral.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.

Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Travel
on grass slopes requires particular care.
To guard
against overturning;

Do not use on slopes of more than 10° .

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets ere
nearby.

-

do not stop or start suddenly
downhill;

Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for
accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their
property.
All ddvers should seek and obtain professional and
practical instruction.
Such instruction should emphasize:

-

engage clutch slowly, always keep machine in gear,
especially when traveling downhill;
machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and
during tight turns;
stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden
hazards;
never mow across the face of the slope, unless the
lawnmower is designed for this purpose.

-

the need for care and concentration when working
with ride-on machines;
- control of a dde-on machine sliding on a slope will
not be regained by the application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are:

Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment.

a) insufficient wheel grip;

-

b)
c)
d)
e)

being ddven too fast;
inadequate braking;
the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
lack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions,especially slopes;
f) incorrect hitching and load distribution.

Stop the blades from rotating before crossing surfaces
other than grass.
When using any attachments, never direct discharge of
material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near the
machine while in operation.
Never operate the lewnmower with defective guards,
shields or without safety protective devices in place.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed
the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed
may increase the hazard of personal injury.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be usedand remove all objects which may be thrown by
the machine.
-

-

-

Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
Limit loads to those you can safely control.
Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing.
Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when suggested in the instruction handbook.

Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways.

II. Preparation
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals.

IV. Maintenance
and Storage
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working 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 enclosure.
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 deterioration.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done
outdoors.
On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended,
lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical
lock is used.
_lL

CAUTION: Always disconnect spark plug wire and
place wire where it cannot contact spark plug in
order to prevent accidental starting when setting up,
transporting, adjusting or making repairs.

Driving
Lower the cutting unit by moving the lever forwards. Connect
the cutting unit. Choose a driving speed which suits the terrain
and required cutting results, Release the brake/clutch pedal
slowly,

37

@

Cutting tips
Clear the lawn from stones and other objects which can be
thrown away by the blades.
Localize and mark stones and other fixed objects to
avoid collision.
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce until the
required cutting result is obtained.
The cutting result is best with high engine speed (blades
rotate quickly) and low gear (machine goes slowly). If the
grass is too long and thick the drive speed can be increased by selecting a higher gear or reducing the
motor speed, without affecting the cutting result.
The best lawn is achieved if the grass is cut often. Cutting
becomes more even and the cut grass is more evenly
distributed over the surface. Total time taken is not
greater, since higher drive speed can be selected
without affecting the cutting results.
Avoid cutting wet grass. The cutting results will be worse
since the wheels will sink into the soft lawn.
Spray the cutting unit with water underneath after use.
