Child Safety; Fire Safety; Preparing For Operation - EMAK OM106J Manuel D'utilisation

! Beware of holes, roots or uneven terrain. Uneven terrain may cause your machine to overturn. Tall
grass may conceal dangerous obstacles. Therefore, remove all obstacles from the mowing surface
ahead of time.
! Select a speed that will not require you to stop on a slope.
! Be very careful when attaching the grass catcher or other attachments. They may reduce the machine's
stability.
! Always move slowly and smoothly on a slope. Do not change speed or direction suddenly.
! Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the wheels lose traction, turn off power to the blades and
slowly drive down the slope.
! Accelerate very slowly and carefully on slopes, to prevent the machine from lurching. Before a slope,
always reduce the engine speed. Especially when driving downward, reduce the speed to the minimum
for using the transmission's braking effect.

2.3 CHILD SAFETY

If the operator is not alert to the presence of children, a tragic accident may occur. The mower's
movement attracts their attention. Never assume that children will stay where you saw them last.
! Never leave children unsupervised in mowing areas.
! Be alert and ready to stop your machine in case of an emergency.
! Before and and while backing up, look to the rear and at the ground.
! Never transport children on the mower. They can fall and be severely injured or dangerously interfere
with your operation of the mower. Never allow children to operate the machine.
! Take extra care in areas of limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).

2.4 FIRE SAFETY

While using the mower, you must observe all work and fire safety rules relevant to this type of machine.
! Regularly remove flammable materials (dry grass, leaves, etc.) from the area of the engine exhaust,
battery and anywhere where they might come into contact with petrol or oil, ignite and set the machine
on fire.
! Allow the mower's engine to cool before storing it in an enclosed space.
! Use extra caution when working with petrol, oil and other flammable substances. These are highly
flammable substances, and their fumes are explosive. Do not smoke while working. Never unscrew the
fuel cap, and never add fuel when the engine is running or is warm, or if the machine is in an enclosed
space.
! Check the fuel flow before use; do not fill the tank up to the neck. Engine heat, sun and the expandability
of fuel may lead to overflow and result in fire. Use only approved containers for storing flammable
substances. Never store the machine or fuel container near any heat source. Use extra caution when
handling the battery. Battery gases are highly explosive. Do not smoke or use an open flame when
handling the battery, as this may cause serious injury.

3. PREPARING FOR OPERATION

3.1 UNPACKING AND CONTENT INSPECTION
The self-propelled mower is delivered in a fabric cover (1). Some parts of the machine have been
dismantled for transport at the factory, and they must be installed before operation. The machine is
unpacked and prepared for operation by the dealer as part of pre-sale service.
- After delivery, immediately check to see if the packaged machine is damaged. If there is
damage, notify the carrier. If a claim is not made on time, it cannot be honoured.
- Check to see that the machine is the model you ordered. If it is the wrong model machine,
do not unpack it, and immediately alert the supplier.
