Working Use - IBEA IB 562 Manuel D'instructions

 Do not switch on and operate the flail mower in enclosed areas since the engine gives
off carbon monoxide fumes which are colourless, odourless, tasteless and extremely
dangerous.
 Take care when handling fuel. Fuel is highly flammable and its vapours explosive :
- Only use an approved container.
- Take care not to remove fuel caps or top up the tank with the engine running.
- Allow the engine to cool before proceeding with fuel-filling operations.
- Do not smoke during this operation.
- Never fill the machine with fuel in an indoor ambient.
- It is advisable to use a wide funnel to prevent spillage of fuel on the engine and on
other surfaces of the flail mower.
- If any fuel is spilled do not attempt to switch on the engine; simply move the machine
away from the area of spillage before switching on.
- After filling up with fuel reposition and screw the fuel tank cap right down.

Do not rest the flail mower or the fuel container in indoor environments with naked
flames.
D) WORKING USE
 When working keep everyone at a minimum distance of 10 metres from the machine.
 Keep the engine well ventilated and clog-free (materials and other residue) to prevent
damage to the engine and risk of fire. Clean the cooling fan and fins regularly.
Clean the air filter at the same time as well.
 Drive smoothly, avoiding brusque starts, braking and turns.
 Take care not to touch the silencer when hot.
 When reversing make sure there are no children or animals around. Take care not to
get caught up in the moving parts of the machine.
 If a slipping belt causes abnormal noise, smells or overheating, switch off the engine
immediately and check the machine to prevent the outbreak of fire and damage to the
transmission.
 The rotating flails are extremely dangerous. Keep away from the rotor guard when the
flails are in motion. Do not help the grass into the housing using hands or feet and do
not allow anyone to stand either in front of the machine or in its direction of travel.
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.
