Use Limitations; Maintenance, Storage; Environmental Protection - GGP ITALY SPA TC 102 Série Manuel D'utilisation

– Do not turn sharply. Take
care when reversing;
– Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights
whenever advised in the owner's 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
assembly with more than one cutting
mean, as 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.

Use limitations

• 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/
micro-switches installed.
• Do not alter the engine regulator settings,
or run it at overspeed. Excessive engine
speeds increase the risk of injury to
operators and other persons.
• Do not strain the machine too much and
do not use a small machine for heavy-
duty work. If you use the right machine,
you will reduce the risk of hazards and
improve the quality of your work.
• The machine has not been approved
for use on public roads. It must be used
(as indicated by the highway code)
in private areas closed to traffic.

2.4 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.
• To reduce the risk of fire, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• 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.
The noise and vibration levels shown in these
instructions are the maximum levels for use of
the machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting
means, the excessive speed of movement, or
the absence of maintenance have a significant
influence on noise emissions and vibrations.
Consequently, it is necessary to take preventive
steps to eliminate possible damage due to
high levels of noise and stress from vibration.
Maintain the machine well, wear ear protection
devices, and take breaks while working.
Storage
• Do not store the machine with fuel in the tank
in an area where fuel vapours could reach a
naked light, a spark or a strong heat source.
• To reduce fire risks, do not leave
containers with debris inside a room.

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must
be a relevant and priority aspect of
machine use, of benefit to the community
and the environment we live in.
• Avoid being a disturbance to the
neighbourhood. Use this machine at
reasonable times of the day only (not
early morning or late evening when the
noise could cause disturbance).
• Adhere strictly to the local regulations
governing the disposal of packaging, oil,
fuel, filters, damaged parts or any other
element which may have an impact on
the environment; this waste should not be
disposed of along with standard household
waste, but must be disposed of separately
and sent to special waste disposal
facilities for handling and recycling.
