SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be
started until the problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no
risk of leaking fuel or fuel vapour leading to injury.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and
overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up the
spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the engine.
If you spill petrol on your clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before taking any actions in the
engine room.
• Be careful when servicing the battery. Explosive gases
form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the
battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or
sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause
serious injuries.
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and
that the equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be
sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven if
protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or
other protective devices are not fitted or are defective.
• Observe the risk of injury caused by moving or hot parts if
the engine is started with the engine cover open or
protective covers removed.
• Do not change governor settings. If you run too fast, you
risk damaging the machine components, see “Technical
Data” on page 45 for highest permitted engine speed.
• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking
proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, an odourless, poisonous and highly dangerous
gas.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into
anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.
• The machine is tested and approved only with the
equipment originally provided or recommended by the
manufacturer.
• The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and gashes.
Wrap the blades or wear protective gloves when handling
them.
• Check the parking brake’s functionality regularly. Adjust
and maintain as required.
• Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves and
other debris that may have fastened in the machine. Allow
the machine to cool before putting it in storage.
Transport
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious crushing
injuries. Be extra cautious when it is loaded on or
unloaded from a vehicle or trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine.
• To secure the machine on the trailer, two approved
tension belts and four wedge shaped wheel blocks should
be used.
Engage the parking brake and tie the tension belts around
stable parts on the machine, e.g. frame or rear wagon.
Secure the machine by tensioning the belts towards the
back and the front of the trailer respectively.
Place the wheel blocks in front of and behind the rear
wheels.
• Check and abide by local traffic regulations before
transporting or driving the machine on any road.
IMPORTANT!
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the machine
during transport. Ensure you secure the machine firmly to
the transporting vehicle.
