DURING OPERATION

Work Area

• Do not operate the engine in confined spaces where danger-ous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. The start-up op-erations must be carried out outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Always remember that the exhaust gases are toxic.
• When starting up the machine, do not direct the silencer and therefore the exhaust fumes towards flammable materials.
• Do not use the machine in environments at risk of explosion, in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or powder. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Work only in daylight or with good artificial light in good visi-bility conditions.
• Keep persons, children and animals away from the working area. Children must be supervised by another adult.
• Avoid working with wet grass, in the rain and when there is a risk of a thunderstorm, especially lightening.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground (hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and obstacles that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines, ditches or embankments. The machine could overturn if a wheel slides over the edge or if the earth gives way.
• Always mow across a slope and never up and down it, being very careful when changing direction, making sure you have firm footage and that the wheels do not hit any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the machine to slide sideways or make you lose control of it.
• Look out for traffic when using the machine near the road.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not leave the machine with the en-gine hot on leaves or dry grass or other flammable material.

Behavior

• Exercise caution when reversing or moving backwards. Look behind you to make sure there are no obstacles before and during operations in reverse gear.
• Never run, always walk.
• Do not allow the lawnmower to pull you along.
• Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting means, when starting and when using the machine.
• Attention: the cutting means will continue to rotate for  a few seconds after disengagement or after you have switched off the motor.
• Keep away from the discharge opening.
• Do not touch the parts of the engine that heat up during operation. Risk of burns.

If something breaks or an accident occurs during mowing, turn off the motor immediately and move the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or third parties are injured, carry out the first aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris which could cause damage or injury to persons or ani-mals if ignored.

Use limitations

• Never operate the machine with guards damaged, missing or incorrectly assembled (grass catcher, side discharge guards, rear discharge guards).
• Don’t use the machine if the attachments/tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the safety systems/micro switches installed.
• Do not change the engine adjustments, or exceed the max-imum rpm. If the engine is forced to run at an excessive speed, the risk of personal injury increases.
• Do not strain the machine too much and do not use a small machine for heavy-duty work; if you use the right machine, you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality of your work.

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to main-tain machine safety and high performance levels.

Maintenance

• Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and never repaired.
• To reduce the risk of fire, check for oil and/or fuel leaks on a regular basis.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving parts of the cutting means and fixed parts of the machine.

The noise and vibration levels shown in these instructions are the maximum levels for use of the ma-chine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element, the excessive speed of movement, or the absence of main-tenance have a significant influence on noise emissions and vibrations. Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to high levels of noise and stress from vibration; Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices, and take breaks while working.
