Transport; Maintenance; Safety Precautions - BEAL NPBR065/61 Notice D'emploi

# In case of blockages and drops in engine speed,
engage a lower gear and further raise the blade
deck.
# On particularly rough surfaces, work with gre-
ater cutting height to prevent the blade knocking
against any surface irregularities, with resulting
damage to the blade and mechanical parts.
CAUTION When cutting on slopes, redu-
ce speed of movement to ensure safety
conditions.
# Disengage the blade and move the deck to max
height position every time an obstacle or hump
has to be overcome.
# The blade must be in perfect condition and
sharp, so the cut is clean and without frays which
could cause the grass to turn yellow.
# The engine must be used at top speed, both to
ensure a clean cut of the grass and to achieve
good ejection of the cut grass through the unlo-
ading pipe.
# In case of drought, do not use very low cutting
levels so as not to damage the lawn.
# It is best to cut the grass when the lawn in dry.
# If the grass is very tall, two separate cutting ope-
rations are best performed, on different days; start
with max height cutting with a low gear.
OPERATING TIMES AND DAYS
The time of operation of the lawnmower could be
regulated by specific national or local laws. Con-
tact the local authorities to find out.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION - HAZARD – Always carefully
follow the instructions in the chapter: "Ba-
sic safety precautions" and in the paragra-
ph "1.4" maintenance and deposit.
HAZARD Always replace the grass bag if
this is torn, unstitched and shows damage
to the plastic profiles.
HAZARD Due to the possible launching
of grass and material collected up by the
blade.
HAZARD - Before carrying out any
inspection, cleaning and servicing
operations on the machine, and be-
fore unblocking the grass unloading
pipe, stop the engine, take out the
ignition key and follow the instructions
in the manual.
HAZARD – The blades are sharp:
risk of serious injury to persons. Befo-
re cleaning, inspecting and repairing
cutting parts, stop the engine and
take out the ignition key. Now discon-
nect the spark plug wire, and keep the
cap away from the plug to prevent ac-
cidental starting (fig.51).
HAZARD – Hot surfaces: danger of
burns.
Wait for the engine to completely cool
down before making any adjustments
or servicing the engine itself.
HAZARD – Wear adequate clothes
and work gloves to clean the blade
and the blade deck and in all situa-
tions in which risks exist for your han-
ds.
HAZARD – Never throw old oils, pe-
trol or other polluting products away
into the environment.
