PREVENT ACCIDENTS A CAREFUL OPERATOR WHO USES COMMON SENSE IS THE SAFEST OPERATOR THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE IN ADDITION TO THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL A CAUTION THIS SYMBOL MEANS BE ALERT PREPARATION 1 Check that the machine complies with ail applicable regulations including those in force when used on the public highway 2 When mowing always wear substantial footwear and long trousers Do not operate when barefoot or with open sandals 3 Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all stones sticks wires bones and any other foreign objects 4 Warning petrol is highly flammable Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling Add fuel before starting the engine Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add petrol while engine is running or when engine hot f petrol is spilled do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of the spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated Replace the fuel tank cap securely Replace faulty silencers Before using always inspect to see that the blades bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged Check the condition of the tyres and ensure that they are inflated to the correct pressures refer to the specifications
7. This is particularly important if the machine is to be taken on the public highway Check that the mower is in good working order paying particular attention to brake and steering Check that all linkages connections and pivot nuts are secure and that the wheel nuts are torqued correctly A OPERATION e 10 1 12 Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous fumes can collect Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light Before starting the engine disengage blade and attachment drives and shift into neutral Take care on slopes of mure than 10 degrees Remember there is no such thing as a safe slope Travel on grass slopes requires particular care to guard against overturning Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill Engage clutch slowly Always keep machine in gear especially when travelling downhill Machine speed should be kept low on slopes and in tight turns Stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden hazards Avoid mowing across the face of the slope Watch out for traffic when crossing or near roadways Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces other than grass When using the machine never direct discharge of material toward bystanders or allow anyone near the machine while in operation Never operate the mower with defective guards shields or without safety protective devices in place and in good work
