WARNING. During work operations the grass is shredded and expelled by the
machine. However, if the grass is damp it tends to build up inside the flail housing,
thus leading to the incorrect feeding of the grass to be cut. The result is that even
on short grass the engine may tend to cut out. Remove the build-up of grass inside
the housing (with the engine switched off) using a stick of wood, or wait until the
grass dries out before resuming cutting. If during work operations the engine tends
to stop due to overloading, either a slower gear must be used or the cutting height
must be increased, or else only part of the machine working width must be used.
! When working in a stony or obstacle-riddled area try to remove as many ob-
jects as possible before commencing cutting. Then work at a greater cutting
height than usual.
WARNING
Stones and other objects may be thrown outwards in direction of the opera-
tor or of other persons in the vicinity.
Keep at a safe distance from persons, animals and objects.
! If the cutting mechanism accidentally comes into contact with an object (stump
or stone), switch off the engine and carry out the following operations:
- Inspect the damage
- Do not attempt to repair it if unskilled to do so
- Check that no parts have come loose
! Do not use the machine if it does not work properly or is broken: seek author-
ized service.
! It is strictly prohibited to leave the flail mower running whilst unsupervised.
! It is strictly prohibited
to transport the machine with the engine running. When
loading the machine onto a vehicle, the inclination of the ramps must not ex-
ceed 15°.
WARNING!
EXERCISE CAUTION WITH GRADIENTS . Danger of machine overturning.
! Given its outdoor use, it is advisable not to use the flail mower when it is rain-
ing.
! The area next to the engine exhaust may reach a high temperature.
WARNING!
Danger of burns.
! Do not go near water fountains or precipices and do not cross narrow bridges
during work operations to prevent the risk of falling.
! Do not work on steep banks with gradients in excess of 10°.
! Take special care on steep banks; avoid working upstream of the machine so
as not to run the risk of slipping under it, particularly when the ground is wet.
! Avoid working on the shoulder, between flat ground and a steep bank. The
machine may skid or slip.
! In the instance of difficulty or emergency stop simply release the forward clutch
control and flail rotor levers.
! Work on flat ground for the utmost safety.
