Behaviour
Exercise caution whilst moving backwards. Look behind to ensure there are no obstacles before and during
operations in reverse gear.
Never run, always walk.
Do not allow the lawnmower to pull you along.
Always keep hands and feet away from the cutting blade, when starting and when using the machine.
Attention: the cutting blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after disengagement or after you have
switched o the motor.
Keep away from the discharge opening.
Do not touch the parts of the engine that heat up during operation. Risk of burns.
If something breaks or an accident occurs during mowing, turn o the motor immediately and
move the machine away to prevent further damage; if an accident occurs with injuries or third
parties are injured, carry out the rst aid measures most suitable for the situation immediately
and contact the medical authorities for any necessary health care. Carefully remove any debris
which could cause damage or injury to persons or animals if ignored.
Use limitations
Never operate the machine with damaged, missing or incorrectly assembled guards (grass catcher, rear
discharge guards).
Don’t use the machine if the attachments/tools are not correctly tted.
Never disengage, deactivate, remove or tamper with the safety systems/micro switches installed.
Do not change the engine adjustments, or exceed the maximum rpm. If the engine is forced to run at an
excessive speed, the risk of personal injury increases.
Do not strain the machine and do not use a small machine for heavy-duty work; if you use the right machine,
you will reduce the risk of hazards and improve the quality of your work.
MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to maintain machine safety and high performance levels.
Maintenance
Never use the machine with worn or damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be replaced and
never repaired.
To reduce the risk of re, check for oil and/or fuel leaks on a regular basis.
Be careful whilst adjusting the machine to prevent entrapment of the ngers between moving parts of the
cutting blade and xed parts of the machine.
The noise and vibration levels shown in these instructions are the maximum levels for use of
the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting blade, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a signicant inuence on noise emissions and vibrations.
Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive steps to eliminate possible damage due to high
levels of noise and stress from vibration; Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection devices,
and take breaks whilst working.
Storage
Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank in an area where fuel vapours could reach a naked light, a
spark or a strong heat source.
To reduce re risks, do not leave containers with debris inside a room.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant and priority aspect of machine use, of benet to the community
and the environment we live in.
Avoid being a disturbance to the neighbourhood. Use this machine at reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the noise could cause disturbance).
Comply with local regulations for the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts or any elements with a
strong environmental impact; this waste must not be disposed of with regular waste, but must be separated
and taken to collection centres, who will recycle the materials.
Comply with local regulations for the disposal of waste materials.
When the machine is withdrawn from service, do not dispose of it in the environment, but take it to a waste
disposal facility in accordance with the local regulations in force.
