SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4.Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system, which is designed to give as
The use of incorrect cutting equipment increases the level of vibration.
The machine‘s vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibrations between the engine unit/ cutting equip- ment and the machine‘s handles. The engine body including the cutting equipment is suspended on the handlebar system via a vibration damping element.
WARNING! |
Over exposure to vibrations can result in |
! suffering with blood circulation problems. |
Seek medical attention if you experience |
physical symptoms that can be related to |
over exposure to vibrations. Examples of |
such symptoms are “numbness“, lack of |
feeling, “tickling“, “pricking“, “pain“ lack of |
or a reduction in normal strength, changes in |
the colour of the skin or its surfaces. These |
symptoms normally appear in the fingers, |
hands or wrists. |
5. Muffler
The muffler is designed to give the lowest possible noise level and to direct the engine‘s exhaust fumes away from the operator. Muffler fitted with catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust components.
In countries that have a warm and dry climate the risk of fire is obvious. We have therefore fitted certain mufflers with a spark arrest screen. Make sure that your muffler is fitted with this kind of screen.
It is extremely important that the instructions for checking, maintaining and servicing the muffler are followed. (see the section “Control, maintenance and service of the machine‘s safety equipment“).
!WARNING!
The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!
!WARNING!
Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters become extremely hot during use and after stopping. This also applies at idling speeds. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Be observant to the risk of fire!
6. Cutting equipment
The blade is designed and machined for coping with the wear that cutting the edges of lawns involves.
7. Locking nut
The locking nut secures the cutting equipment on the output shaft.
