MANDATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

THE OPERATION OF GARDEN TRACTORS

TRAINING

1.Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the use of equipment.

2.Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.

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

4.The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

5.Do not carry passengers.

6.All drivers should seek to obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should emphasise:

The need for care and concentration when working with this machine.

Control of a tractor sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.

The main reasons for loss of control are:

Insufficient wheel grip.

Driving too fast.

Inadequate braking.

Incorrect load distribution.

READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING

THE GARDEN TRACTOR AND ENSURE THAT

OPERATORS STUDY IT FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY.

THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS ARE OUTLINED TO

HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS. A CAREFUL

OPERATOR WHO USES COMMON SENSE IS THE

SAFEST OPERATOR.

THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE IN ADDITION TO

THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

1.Check that the machine complies with all applicable regulations, including those in force when used on the public highway.

2.When mowing always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate when barefoot or with open toe sandals.

3.WARNING – Diesel is flammable:

Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke when refuelling.

Add fuel before starting engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add diesel while engine is running or when engine is hot.

If diesel is spilled, do not attempt to start engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating a source of ignition until diesel vapours have dissipated.

Replace the fuel tank cap securely.

4.Replace faulty silencers.

5.Before using, always inspect to see that the blades, bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged.
