Hazards

The following safety precautions must be strictly observed to avoid the risk of damage or personal injury.

•Do not smoke while operating or refuelling the mower. Never add fuel or remove the fuel cap while the engine is running or hot. If the fuel is spilt, do not start the engine. Move the mower away from the area of the spill. Do not create any source of ignition until the fuel vapours have dissipated.

•Check all fasteners regularly. Always ensure that the mower is in safe operating condition. Use genuine spare parts only.

•Do not operate the mower in confined spaces where exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

•Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, even if only for a moment.

•Stop the engine when emptying the grasscatcher. Never try to clear grass from inside the mower while the engine is running.

•Never lift, carry or tilt the mower when the engine is running.

•Bystanders must be at least 15 metres away during operation of the mower, as rocks and other materials may be thrown at high velocities. Switch the unit off immediately if approached.

•Never use the mower unless the grasscatcher and/or the rear flap are correctly assembled and fitted.
