4) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,
exhaust silencer, battery compartment and fuel
storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive
grease. Do not leave containers with grass cuttings in
rooms.
5) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequent-
ly for wear and deterioration.
6) If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be
done outdoors and when the engine is cool.
7) Wear strong work gloves when removing and re-
assembling the blade.
8) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All
operations on the blade (dismantling, sharpening, bal-
ancing, remounting and/or replacing) require a certain
familiarity and special tools. For safety reasons, these
jobs are best carried out at a specialized centre.
9) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment
with worn or damaged parts. Parts are to be
replaced and not repaired. Use genuine spare parts
(blades should always bear the symbol ). Parts
that are not of the same quality can damage the
equipment and be dangerous for your safety.
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, raised,
transported or tilted you must:
– wear strong working gloves;
– grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip,
taking account of the weight and its distribution.
– use an appropriate number of people for the weight
of the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or
the place where it has to be placed or collected.
