machine. The use of an unbalanced cutting element,
the excessive speed of movement, or the absence
of maintenance have a signiicant inluence 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.
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/microswitches installed.
• Do not alter the engine adjustments, nor over-run it. If
the engine is forced to work with an excessive number
of rotations, the risk of personal injury increases.
• 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.

MAINTENANCE, STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

Ensure regular maintenance and correct storage to
maintain machine safety and high performance levels.
Do not use the machine with worn or
damaged parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must
always be replaced and never repaired. Only use
original spare parts: the use of non-original and/
or incorrectly itted parts will compromise the
safety of the machine, may cause accidents or
personal injuries for which the Manufacturer is
under no circumstance liable or responsible.
Maintenance
• To reduce the risk of ire, regularly check
the machine for oil and/or fuel leaks.
• Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent
entrapment of the ingers between moving parts of
the cutting means and ixed parts of the machine.
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 ire risks, do not leave containers
with debris inside a room.
Handling and Transportation
• When transporting the machine on a vehicle, always:
1. load the machine with the engine switched of
and pushed by an adequate number of people
2. close the fuel tap (if provided)
3. position it so that it can not cause
a hazard for anybody
4. fasten irmly to the means of transport using
ropes or chains to prevent it from tipping
over causing damage and fuel leaks

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Safeguarding the environment must be a relevant
and priority aspect of machine use, of beneit 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
