SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Children
•Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be observant for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never assume that children will stay where you last saw them.
•Keep children away from the mowing area and under close supervision by another adult.
•Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter the work area.
•Before and during a reversing manoeuvre, look backward and downward for small children.
•Never allow a child to ride with you. They can fall off and seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe manoeuvring of the machine.
•Never allow children to operate the machine.
•Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or other objects that block your view.
Maintenance
•Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from starting by removing the spark plug cables from the spark plugs or by removing the ignition key before making any adjustments or performing maintenance.
•Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
•Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely flammable. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.
•Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose.
•Never remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the engine is running.
•Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke. Do not fill petrol in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames.
•Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and battery carefully, of environmental considerations. Observe applicable recyling regulations.
•Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition system with your fingers.
