SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the driver does not pay attention to children in the vicinity. Children are often attracted to the machine and the work of mowing. Never assume that children stay where you last saw them.
•Keep children away from the mowing area and under the close supervision of another adult.
•Be on your guard and switch off the machine if children come into the work area.
•Before and during reversing look behind and down for small children.
•Never allow children to ride on the machine. They can fall off and become seriously injured or obstruct an otherwise safe manoeuvre of the machine.
•Never allow children to steer the machine.
•Be extra careful close to corners, bushes, trees or other objects which obstruct your view.
Maintenance
•Petrol/gasoline and petrol/gasoline fumes are toxic and highly inflammable. Be extra careful when handling petrol.
a.Store the fuel in containers approved for this purpose.
b.Never fill up the machine with fuel when the engine is running. Let the engine cool before filling up with fuel.
Do not smoke. Do not fill fuel in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames.
c.Never fill up with fuel indoors.
d.If leakage has occurred in the fuel system the engine must not be started until this is rectified.
e.Never store the machine or fuel containers indoors if there are naked flames, such as in a boiler room or where there is electrical equip- ment which can emit sparks.
•Check the fuel level each time before using the machine, and leave space for the fuel to expand since the heat from the engine and hot sun can cause the fuel to run over.
•Avoid overfilling. If fuel has been spilt on the Rider wipe it up and wait until it has evaporated before starting the engine. If petrol 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.
Keep children away from the mowing area.
