Training

Before using the mower read the owners handbook carefully. Pay particular attention to the safety precautions. Ensure that you are familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

Keep in mind that the 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 sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower 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 refuelling;

-add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot;

-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 the petrol vapours have dissipated;

-replace all fuel tank and container caps securely.

Replace faulty silencers.

A damaged cutterblade or loose fixing bolt are major hazards. Before use, always visually inspect the cutting mechanism to ensure that it is in good condition. A damaged cutterblade must be replaced immediately with a genuine Hayter replacement part.

Operation

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.

Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Avoid using the machine on wet grass, where feasible. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk, never run.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes of more than 20O and mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction.
