SAFETY REGULATIONS

TO BE FOLLOWED CAREFULLY
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Get familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the
engine quickly.
2) Only use the lawnmower for the purpose for which it was
designed, i.e. for cutting and collecting grass. Any other use
can be hazardous, causing injury or damage to people and/or
property.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instruc-
tions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the
age of the operator.
4) Never use the lawnmower:
– When people, especially children, or pets are nearby;
– If the operator has taken medicine or substances that can
affect his ability to react and concentrate.
5) Remember that the operator or user is responsible for acci-
dents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
B) PREPARATION
1) While mowing, always wear sturdy footwear and long
trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or
wearing open sandals.
2) Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the
machine or damage the cutter assembly and the engine (stones,
sticks, metal wire, bones, etc.).
3) Before use, always inspect the machine, especially the condi-
tion of the blades, and check that the screws and cutting assem-
bly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades
and screws in sets to preserve balance.
4) Before mowing, attach the discharge opening guards
(grass-catcher or stone-guard).
5) WARNING: DANGER! Damp and electricity do not go
together:
– cables must be handled and wired when dry
– never allow contact between an electric socket or cable with
a wet area (puddles or damp grass);
– connections between cables and sockets must be of the
waterproof type. Only use extension cables with moulded-on
waterproof or approved sockets available commercially.
– power the machine using a residual current device (RCD
Residual Current Device) with max. 30 mA tripping current.
6) The power supply cables must not be of lower quality than the
H05RN-F or H05VV-F type with minimum cross-section size of
1.5 mm
2
and max. 25 m long.
7) Attach the cable onto the cable clamp before starting the
machine.
8) The permanent wiring of any electrical device to the mains
must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance
with electrical regulations in force. Incorrect wiring may
cause severe injury or death.
C) OPERATION
1) Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
2) Avoid operating the equipment on wet grass or in the rain.
3) Never go over the electric cable with the lawnmower.
While cutting, the cable should always be pulled behind the
lawnmower and always from the area of grass already cut. Use
the cable clamp as described in this manual to prevent the cable
from disconnecting by accident. Ensure that it is properly insert-
ed without forcing into the power socket.
4) Never pull the lawnmower by its power cable or pull the
cable to remove the plug. Do not expose the cable to sources
of heat or let it come in contact with oil, solvents or sharp
objects.
5) Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
6) Walk, never run and do not allow yourself to be pulled along
by the lawnmower.
7) Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.
8) Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
20
9) Do not mow on slopes that are too steep.
10) Exercise extreme caution when pulling the lawnmower
towards you.
11) Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for trans-
portation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when
transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.
12) Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or with-
out safety devices, such as the stone-guard and/or grass-catch-
ers, in place.
13) On power-driven models, disengage the drive clutch before
starting the engine.
14) Start the engine carefully, following the instructions and
keeping feet well away from the blade.
15) Do not tilt the lawnmower when switching on the engine
unless it is strictly necessary for start-up. In this case, do not tilt
it more than is strictly necessary and only lift the part furthest
away from the operator. Check that both hands are positioned
correctly before lowering the lawnmower.
16) Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
17) Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the engine is run-
ning.
18) Stop the engine and disconnect the power supply cable:
– before carrying out any work underneath the cutting deck or
before unclogging the chute;
– before checking, cleaning or working on lawnmower;
– after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for dam-
age and make repairs before restarting and operating the lawn-
mower;
– if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally, find and remove
the cause of the vibration immediately;
– whenever you leave the lawnmower unattended.
– when transporting the equipment.
19) Stop the engine:
– every time you remove or replace the grass-catcher.
– before adjusting the grass cutting height.
20) When mowing, always keep to a safe distance from the rotat-
ing blade. This distance is the length of the handle.
D) MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1) Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment
is in safe working condition. Regular maintenance is essential for
safety and performance.
2) To reduce the fire hazard, keep the lawnmower, especially the
engine, free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not leave
containers with grass cuttings in rooms.
3) Check the stone-guard and grass-catcher frequently for wear
and deterioration.
4) Periodically check the electric cables and replace them if
they are damaged or if the insulation has been damaged.
Never touch a badly insulated cable if it still connected to the
power supply. Remove the cable from the socket before taking
any action.
5) Wear strong work gloves when removing and reassembling the
blade.
6) Keep the blade balanced during sharpening. All operations
on the blade (dismantling, sharpening, balancing, remounting
and/or replacing) require a certain familiarity and special tools.
For safety reasons, these jobs are best carried out at a special-
ized centre.
7) For reasons of safety, do not use the equipment with worn
cables or damaged parts. Parts are to be replaced and not
repaired. Use genuine spare parts (blades should always
bear the symbol
). Parts that are not of the same quality
can damage the equipment and be dangerous for your safe-
ty.
E) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, raised, transported or
tilted you must:
- wear strong working gloves;
- grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, taking
account of the weight and its distribution.
- use an appropriate number of people for the weight of the
machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the place where
it has to be placed or collected.
