Maintenance, Storage - Stiga MPST 84 Li 48 V1 Manuel D'utilisation

• Pay careful attention to uneven ground
(hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and
obstacles that could limit visibility.
• Be very careful near ravines, ditches
or embankments. The machine could
overturn if a wheel slides over the
edge or if the earth gives way.
• Pay close attention on sloping ground
which requires special care to prevent
overturning or loss of control of the machine.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
• Insufficient wheel grip.
• Excessive speed.
• Sharp changes of direction.
• Inadequate braking.
• Type of machine unsuitable for its task.
• Lack of awareness of the effect
of ground conditions.
• Using the machine for towing.
• Look out for traffic when using
the machine near the road.
NOTICE
The machines detailed in this manual are
not designed for use as towing vehicles.
Conduct
• When working behind the wheel, do
not become distracted and maintain
the required level of concentration.
• Exercise caution when reversing or
moving backwards. Look behind you to
make sure there are no obstacles before
and during operations in reverse gear.
• Pay careful attention when using the
attachments that can alter the stability
of the machine, especially on slopes.
• Always keep hands and feet away
from the cutting means, when starting
and when using the machine.
• Keep hands and feet away from the seat
support. There is the risk of crushing injuries.
WARNING
the cutting means will continue to rotate
for a few seconds after disengagement
or after switching off the motor.
WARNING
Pay attention to the cutting means assembly with
more than one cutting element, since one rotating
cutting means can trigger rotation of the others.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
If something breaks or an accident occurs
during work, turn off 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 first
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.
Restrictions of use
• Never operate the machine with guards
damaged, missing or incorrectly
assembled (grass catcher, side discharge
guards rear discharge guards)
• Don't use the machine if the attachments/
tools are not installed in their seats.
• Never disengage, deactivate, remove
or tamper with the safety systems/

in private areas closed to traffic.

3.4 MAINTENANCE, STORAGE

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.
• Be careful during adjustment of the
machine to prevent entrapment of the
fingers between moving parts of the cutting
means and fixed parts of the machine.
• Have your machine serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the machine is maintained.
