If you hit solid object, stop the machine, switch off the engine and the mowing mechanism. Inspect the entire
machine (mainly the mowing mechanism) for damages. If needed, repair all damages before starting the machine
again.
Repair all damages before further use. Before use, inspect V-belt tension, make sure the mowing knifes are sharp
and that the mowing mechanism cover is clean.
The rotary knifes are sharp and may cause injuries. Use protective gloves or wrap the knifes in a protective cover
during repair or handling.
Inspect the knife fastening bolts and nuts regularly. Make sure to use the correct torque setting during tightening.
Pay special attention to the self-securing nuts. If you remove the nut twice the self-securing property is greatly
reduced. Therefore change the nut for a new one after the second nut removal.
Try to avoid working on wet grass if possible.
Avoid obstacles and situations such as sudden slope change or holes that may tip the machine over.
Use your machine only during daylight or under sufficient lighting.
Do not wear shorts or short clothing. Use solid working shoes.
Do not use your machine if you are under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Do not use if you feel dizzy or your physical ability to operate the machine is weakened.
Do not let the engine running in closed rooms. The exhaust gases contain harmful substances that may not be
visible or detectable by human senses.
Do not start the engine without the exhaust.
Observe all fire safety rules described in chapter 1.1.4.
Noise during mowing usually does not exceed the levels of acoustic noise specified in this manual in chapter 3.
"Technical parameters". In some cases, for example due to the terrain variations, the noise level may shortly
exceed the specified levels. The manufacturer recommends using ear protection gear during mowing. Prolong
exposure to high noise levels may cause permanent damages to your hearing.
