2. Carefully read the instructions for use. Make sure you are familiar with the
controls and know how to stop the blades and the engine quickly.
3. Never put your hands or feet next to or beneath the rotating parts and always
keep away from the exit.
4. Do not use the machine when in a precarious state of health or under the effect of
medicine or any other substances that can reduce your reflex actions and your
ability to concentrate. It is the user's responsibility to assess the potential risk of
the area where work is to be carried out, and to take all the necessary precautions
to ensure his own safety and that of others, particularly on slopes or rough,
slippery, and unstable ground.
5. Do not leave the machine on high grass with the engine running to avoid the risk
of starting a fire.
6. Do not use the machine without the side deflector in place.
Do not use the machine on lawns with gradients of more than 15° (27%).
Do not use the machine on lawns with side gradients above 10° (18%).
If the machine is likely to be used mostly on sloping ground fit counterweights
beneath the cross-member of the front wheels. These improve stability at the front
and reduce the chances of tipping over.
All the references relating to the positions of controls are described
in CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS.
WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN
The safety devices work in two ways:
1. They prevent the engine from starting if all the safety requirements have not been
met.
2. The safety devices stop the engine if any of the safety requirements is not met.
a) To start the engine, it is necessary that:
▪ The blades are not engaged.
▪ The parking brake is engaged, and the transmission is disengaged.
▪ The operator sits on the seat.
b) The engine stops when:
▪ The operator leaves his seat while mowing or driving.
