d)WORKING USE

!Supervise the clothing of personnel operating the machine: a long-sleeved jacket with close-fitting cuffs, long, close-fitting trousers, heavy-duty footwear, and a protective cap or helmet should be worn. Avoid wearing loose-tailed clothing, unbuttoned jackets or torn, undone or partially zipped up items to pre- vent them from being caught up in the moving parts.

!Safety goggles and ear protection devices must be worn. Safety gloves must also be worn during machine operation and maintenance.

!Do not switch on and operate the sod cutter in enclosed areas since the engine gives off carbon monoxide fumes that are colourless, odourless, tasteless and extremely dangerous.

!Take care when handling fuel. Fuel is highly flammable and its vapours explo- sive:

-Only use an approved container

-Take care not to remove fuel caps or top up the tank with the engine running.

-Allow the engine to cool before proceeding with fuel-filling operations.

-Do not smoke during this operation.

-Never fill the machine with fuel in an indoor ambient

-It is advisable to use a wide funnel to prevent spillage of fuel on the engine and on other surfaces of the sod cutter.

-If any fuel is spilled do not attempt to switch on the engine; simply move the machine away from the area of spillage before switching on.

-After filling up with fuel reposition and screw the fuel tank cap right down.

Do not rest the sod cutter or the fuel container in indoor environments with na- ked flames

d)WORKING USE

!When working keep everyone at a minimum distance of 10 metres from the machine.

!Keep the engine well ventilated and clog-free (materials and other residue) to prevent damage to the engine and risk of fire. Clean the cooling fan and fins regularly. Clean the air filter at the same time as well.

!Drive smoothly, avoiding brusque starts, braking and turns.

!Take care not to touch the silencer when hot.

!When reversing make sure there are no children or animals around. Take care not to get caught up in the moving parts of the machine.

!If a slipping belt causes abnormal noise, smells or overheating, switch off the engine immediately and check the machine to prevent the outbreak of fire and damage to the transmission.

!The blade is extremely dangerous. Take great care during operation. Do not use feet or hands to push the machine down into the turf and do not allow any- one to stand either in front of the machine or in its direction of travel.

WARNING. During operation the lawn and turf are cut into strips. Should the cut- ter’s wheels skid during use it is advisable to adjust the cutting height using the special lever (Fig. 3, ref.A). If this operation does not prevent this occurrence check the state of the terrain. If it is too dry it should be wetted so that the blade encoun- ters a slight resistance, thus making cutting operations easier.
