Ryobi OLM1836H User Manual

■ Frequently check the grass catcher for
wear, holes, or deterioration.
■ Replace worn or damaged parts before
operating the product.
■ The product must be started with the user
behind the handlebars in the operator
safety zone. Never start the product if:
● Not all four wheels are on the ground.
● The grass discharge chute is exposed
and is not protected by the grass catcher
and grass discharge chute cover.
● Hands and feet of all persons are not
clear of the cutting enclosure.
■ Never operate the product if the on/off
trigger on the handlebar does not properly
start and stop the product.
■ Never attempt to lock the on/off triggers in
the on position; this is extremely dangerous.
■ Do not force the product. It will do the job
better and safer at the speed for which it
was designed.
■ Stop the blade when crossing gravel
surfaces.
■ Do not pull the product backwards unless
absolutely necessary. If you must back the
product away from a wall or obstruction,
first look down and behind to avoid tripping
or pulling the product over your feet.
■ Stop the motor and allow the blade to
stop if the product has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces
other than grass, and when transporting
the product to and from the work area.
■ Never use the product with defective
guards or shields, or without safety
devices, for example, deflectors and/or
grass collectors, in place.
■ Do not tilt the product when turning on
the motor or while the motor is running. If
absolutely necessary, you may raise the
front of the lawn mower by no more than
5 cm to enable easier starting. Press down
on the handlebar to achieve this. Always
return the mower to its normal position with
all wheels on the ground before cutting.
Tilting the mower exposes the blade and
increases the probability of objects being
thrown and accidental contact with the
blade.
■ Turn on the motor carefully according to
instructions and keep hands and feet away
from blades. Do not put hands or feet near
or under rotating parts.
■ Never pick up or carry the product while it
is running.
■ Turn off the product, and remove the
isolator key and the battery pack. Make
sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop:
● before leaving the product unattended
(including disposal of grass clippings).
● before clearing blockages or unclogging
discharge chute
● before checking, cleaning, or working on
the product
● before removing the grass catcher or
opening the grass discharge chute cover
● after striking a foreign object (inspect
the product for damage and make
repairs as necessary before restarting
and operating the product)
● whenever the product starts to vibrate
abnormally (check immediately)
– inspect for damage, particularly the
blades
– replace or repair any damaged parts
– check for and tighten any loose parts
■ Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, property
stakes, or other hidden objects. Uneven
terrain could cause a slip-and-fall accident.
■ Always ensure that the motor control cable
is never trapped, pinched, or otherwise
damaged during assembly or when folding
the handle.
