• Do not smoke when filling up with 
fuel or when handling the fuel.
• Use a funnel to top up with 
fuel only in the open air.
• Do not inhale fuel fumes.
• Never remove the tank cap or add 
fuel while the engine is running 
or when the engine is hot.
• Open the fuel tank slowly to allow the 
pressure inside to decrease gradually.
• Do not approach the tank opening with 
a naked flame to check its contents.
• If you have spilled some fuel, do not attempt to 
start the engine but move the machine away 
from the area of spillage and avoid creating 
any source of ignition until the fuel has 
evaporated and fuel vapours have dissipated.
• Immediately clean up all traces of fuel 
spilt on the machine or on the ground.
• Replace caps of all fuel tanks 
and containers securely.
• Never start the machine in the same 
place in which you refilled it with fuel; the 
engine must be started in an area at least 
3 metres from where you refuelled.
• If fuel is spilt on clothing, change
clothing before starting the engine.

2.3 DURING OPERATION

Work Area

• Do not operate the engine in a confined 
space where dangerous carbon 
monoxide fumes can develop. All starting 
operations have to be effected in an 
open or well ventilated area. Always 
remember that exhaust gases are toxic! 
• When starting up the machine, do not direct 
the silencer and therefore the exhaust 
fumes towards flammable materials.
• Do not use the machine in environments 
at risk of  explosion, in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gas or powder. Electrical 
contacts and mechanical friction can generate 
sparks that can ignite the powder or vapours. 
• Work only in daylight or with good artificial 
light in good visibility conditions. 
• Keep persons, children and animals away 
from the working area. Instruct another adult 
to supervise any children in the vicinity.
• Avoid working with wet grass, in the 
rain and when there is a risk of a 
thunderstorm, especially lightening.
• Pay careful attention to uneven ground 
(hills, dips), slopes, hidden hazards and 
obstacles than 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 attention on sloping ground which 
requires particular care to prevent overturning 
or loss of control of the machine. The 
main reasons for loss of control are:
– Insufficient wheel grip
– Excessive speed
– Inadequate braking
– Type of machine unsuitable for its task
– Lack of awareness of the effect of 
ground conditions, especially slopes
– Incorrect use as a towing machine.
Behaviour
• 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.
• Use care when pulling loads or 
using heavy equipment:
– Use approved drawbar hitch 
points only when towing;
– Do not turn sharply. Take 
care when reversing;
– Use counterweight(s) or wheel 
weights whenever advised in 
the instructions manual.
• Pay attention when using the grass catcher 
and 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.
• Attention: the cutting means will continue to 
rotate for a few seconds after disengagement 
or after you have switched off the engine.
• Pay attention to cutting-means 
assemblies with more than one cutting 
means, as a rotating cutting means can 
trigger the rotation of the others,
• Keep away from the discharge opening.
• Do not touch the engine parts which 
heat up during use. Burns hazard.
• To avoid the risk of fire, do not 
leave the machine standing in high 
grass with the engine running.
If something breaks or an accident occurs 
during work, turn off the engine 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.
