IMPORTANT:
THIS CUTTING MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF AMPUTATING HANDS AND FEET AND THROWING OBJECTS.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY IN6TRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

•

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.

the cutting unit. Choose a driving speed which suits the terrain
and required cutting results, Release the brake/clutch pedal
slowly,

5
@

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.

WARNING!
Do not ddve in terrain at an angle of more than max. 10°,
The risk for spark-over backwards is large.
In steep terrain the dsk for tipping is considerable.
Avoid stopping and starting in sloping terrain.
Only change gear when the machine is standing still to
avoid damaging the gear box.

]

Ddve in right turns so that the cut grass is thrown away from
flower beds and paths, etc. For larger lawns the drive direction
should be changed after 2-3 turns so that the cut grass is
thrown towards the area that has already been cut as shown
in the illustration.

5
_Use
the teft side of the machine to cut close to trees, bushes
and paths, etc. The blade cuts about 15 mm inside the edge
of the cover.

Switching
offthe engine
Move the gas contro{ to "gll,".
Disconnect the cutting unit by moving the eonnectJdiscon-nect
lever downwards.
Lift up the cutting unit and turn the ignition key to "OFF"
position.
Allow the engine to idle for 1-2 minutes to cool down before
switching off after a hard work,
