While Operating The Machine - EMAK Oleo-Mac OM 92 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien

! Do not adjust the engine regulator or the engine speed limiter.
! Before you start working with the machine, remove from the surface of the area you will be mowing, all
stones, pieces of wood, wire, bones, fallen branches and other items, which could be deflected during
the mowing process.
! Remedy all defects before further use. Before starting work, thoroughly check that the belts are
tensioned, the blades are sharp and that the area inside the mowing deck is clear.
! Before using the machine, visually check that the machine parts are not damaged or missing or visibly
loosened.
! Prior to using the machine check that the brakes work and if necessary have them adjusted or repaired.

2.1.3 While operating the machine

! The machine must not be used for work on slopes that have an incline greater than 10° (17%).
! Transport of other passengers, animals or loads directly on the machine is forbidden. Transport of loads
is only permitted on trailers approved by the machine's manufacturer.
! Even when leaving the machine for a short time, always remove the key from the ignition.
! If you are driving the machine away from the work area where you are mowing, always disengage the
mowing deck and lift it to the transport position.
! Do not mow near piles of material, holes or banks. The riding mower may suddenly roll over if the
wheel goes over the edge of a hole, trench or an edge that may collapse.
! When working, avoid mole mounds, concrete supports, tree stumps, garden bed and footpath kerbs,
which must not come into contact with the blades and so cause damage to the mowing deck and the
machine's mechanism.
! In the event of an impact into a rigid object, stop and turn off the mowing deck and engine and inspect
the entire machine, particularly the steering mechanism. If necessary perform repairs before starting
up the engine again.
! Whenever possible avoid using the machine in wet grass. Reduced traction may lead to skidding.
! Avoid obstacles (e.g. sudden change in the incline of a slope, trenches, etc.) on which the machine
could roll over.
! Do not attempt to maintain the stability of the machine by stepping on the ground.
! Only use the machine in daylight hours or with good artificial lighting.
! Driving the machine on public roads is not permitted.
! When operating the machine do not wear loose clothing and short pants, use solid fully-closed footwear.
Never operate the machine when wearing sandals or barefoot.
! Do not leave the engine running in closed areas. The exhaust fumes contain substances that are
odourless but are fatally poisonous.
! Do not put your hands or legs underneath the mowing deck cover. Never put any part of your body near
the rotating or moving parts of the machine.
! Do not start the engine without an exhaust.
! Usually the noise emitted during mowing does not exceed the acoustic pressure and acoustic power
values specified in this user's manual (
and due to the condition of the terrain exceed the specified noise levels for a short time.
! The machine manufacturer recommends the use of hearing protection when operating the machine
because stressing the hearing organ with an excessive noise level or long term effects of noise may
lead to permanent hearing damage.
! Always pay full attention to driving and other activities performed with the machine. The most common
causes of loss of control over the machine are for example:
Loss of wheel traction.
Excessive speed, not adjusting speed to current conditions and terrain properties.
Sudden breaking where the wheels lock up.
Using the machine for purposes for which is was not designed.
