E | SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS |
•Avoid overfilling. If fuel has been spilt on the machine wipe it up and wait until it has evapor- ated before starting the engine. If fuel is spilt on clothes, change them.
•Be extra careful when handling battery acid. Spilling acid on the skin can cause severe burn injuries. Rinse immediately with water. If acid gets into the eyes this can cause blindness. Contact a doctor.
•Be careful with the maintenance of the battery. Explosive gas is formed in the battery. Never handle the battery when smoking or in the vicinity of naked flames or sparks. Otherwise the battery can explode and cause severe injuries.
•Never drive the machine in an enclosed space. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless, non coloured, toxic and fatal gas.
•Make sure that bolts and nuts, especially attach- ment bolts for the blade units are properly tightened and that the equipment is in good order.
•Never alter the safety devices. Check regularly that they function. The machine must not be driven with defective or unmounted safety devices.
•Do not alter the setting of the governor and do not race the engine.
•Reduce the fire risk. Keep the machine clean from grass, leaves and other refuse which fastens in it. Allow the machine to cool before placing it in the storage area.
•Stop and inspect the equipment if you drive over an object. If necessary repair the machine before starting.
•Never make adjustments with the engine run- ning.
•The parts on the grass collector can become worn, damaged and aged, so that moving parts are exposed or so that an object can be thrown out. Check the parts regularly and if necessary replace them with spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.
•The machine is tested for safety and approved only for equipment supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
•The blades are sharp and can cause cutting injuries. Wrap over the blades or use protective gloves when handling them.
•Check the functioning of the brakes regularly. Adjust and maintain them as necessary.
