• Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

PREPARATION

• While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine.

WARNING!

• Petrol is highly flammable.
• Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refueling. Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running.
• Add fuel only when the engine is cold.
• If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated.
• Replace all fuel tanks and container caps securely.
• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance.

OPERATION

• Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide 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.
• Walk, never run.
• For wheeled rotary machines, mow cross the face of slopes, never up and down.
• Exercise extreme caution when changing 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 transportation when crossing 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 devices, for example deflectors and/or grass catchers, 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.
• Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade.
• Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine, except if the lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
