5.3.5CHECKING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SAFETY DEVICES

Check that the safety systems are working properly by simulating the various situations of usage (5.2) and by making sure that the correct result is achieved for each situation.

If the check shows any deficiencies, consult a Licensed Service Centre immedi- ately.

5.3.6CHECKING THE BRAKING SYSTEM

Make sure that the machine’s braking capacity is adequate for the conditions of usage. Avoid starting the machine if you have doubts on the brake efficiency.

If necessary, adjust the brake (6.3.4) and if you still have doubts on its efficien- cy, consult a Licensed Service Centre

5.3.7CHECKING THE BLADE

!

WARNING!

 



 

Wear strong gloves when handling the blade.

 

 

Check that the blade is sharpened properly and firmly fixed to the bracket.

A badly sharpened blade pulls at the grass and causes the lawn to turn yellow.

A loose blade causes unusual vibrations and can be dangerous.

If the check shows any problems, sharpen or fasten the blade properly (6.3.1).
