the engine but move the ma chine away

from the area of spillage and avoid cre at ing

any source of ig ni tion until petrol va pors

have dis si pat ed.

- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps

se cure ly.

• Before using, always visually inspect to see

that the blades, blade bolts and cutter as-

sembly are not worn or dam aged. Replace

worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to

pre serve balance.

• On multi-bladed machines, take care as

rotating one blade can cause other blades to

rotate.

III. Operation

• Do not operate the engine in a confined

space where dan ger ous carbon mon ox ide

fumes can collect.

• Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.

• Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass,

where feasible.

• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

• Walk, never run.

• For wheeled rotary machines, mow across

the face of slopes, never up and down.

• Exercise extreme caution when chang ing

direction on slopes.

• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

• Use extreme caution when reversing or pull-

ing the lawnmower towards you.

• Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be

tilted for trans por ta tion when cross ing sur-

faces other than grass, and when transport-

ing the lawnmower to and from the area to

be mowed.

• Never operate the lawnmower with defec-

tive guards, or without safety de vic es, for

example deflectors and/or grass catchers, in

place.

• Do not change the engine governor settings

or overspeed the engine. Op er at ing the

engine at excessive speed may increase the

hazard of personal injury.

• Disengage all blade and drive clutches be-

fore starting the engine.

• Start the engine or switch on the motor care-

fully according to instructions and with feet

well away from the blade.

• Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the

engine or switch ing on the motor, except if

the lawnmower has to be tilted for starting.

In this case, do not tilt more than absolutely

nec es sary and lift only the part which is away

front of the discharge chute.

the lawnmower;

- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the

lawnmower for damage and make repairs

a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclu-
