Maintenance and Storage

•Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

•Never store the equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes can reach an open flame or spark.

•Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

•To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and fuel storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

•Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or deterioration.

•Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

•If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.

•When machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means.

Z Turn Riding Mower Safety

The following list contains safety information specific to Hayter products or other safety information that is not included in the CEN standard.

•Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison that can kill you. Do not run engine indoors or in an enclosed area.

•Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from attachment discharge area, underside of cutter deck and any moving parts while engine is running.

•Do not touch equipment or attachment parts which may be hot from operation. Allow to cool before attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.

•Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Protect your face, eyes, and clothing when working with a battery.

•Battery gases can explode. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from battery.

•Use only genuine Hayter replacement parts to ensure that original standards are maintained.

•Use only Hayter-approved attachments.

Slope Operation

•Do not mow slopes greater than 15 degrees.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks, or water. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death, or drowning.

•Do not mow slopes when grass is wet. Slippery conditions reduce traction and could cause sliding and loss of control.

•Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.

•Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks, or water.

•Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.

•Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from mowing area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

•Watch for ditches, holes, rocks dips, and rises that change the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.

•Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because the mower may tip backwards.

•Be aware that loss of traction may occur going downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of braking and steering.

•Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tyres lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.

•Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel weights or counterweights to improve stability.

•Use extreme care with grass catchers or other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause loss of control.
