FIRE HAZARD

Pretrol is highly infl ammable.
Keep the petrol in containers that are
specifi cally designed for the purpose.
Only supply with petrol outdoors; do not
smoke during refueling.
Explosion HAZARD.
Supply with petrol before starting the engine. Do not
remove the tank cap and do not supply with petrol
while the engine is running or hot.
Should the petrol run over, do not attempt to start
the engine, but move the machine well away from
the spot where you spoiled the petrol fumes have
completely disappeared.
Close back the petrol tank and the containers by
safely tightening their caps.
Replace the silencer if it is faulty or damaged.
Before use, always visually check that the blade
fastening screws and the cutters are not worn or
damaged. Replace any damaged or worn blades, as
well as their fastening screws in complete series to
maintain proper balancing. Repairs and maintenance
of mechanical parts must be done by a specialized
after-sales centre.
4.4. RULES FOR CORRECT OPERATION
HAZARD! Do not operate the engine in a
secluded or restricted area where the
dangerous carbon monoxide contained in the
exhaust fumes may build up.
Only operate on grounds that are a lit by daylight or by
adequate artifi cial lighting.
Before starting the engine, disconnect the blade, place
the gearshift in "neutral" (N) and engaged the parking
brake.
As far as possible, avoid using the lawnmower on wet
grass.
Do not operate on excessively steep slopes. Check the
limits indicated in the manual.
CAUTION: Riesgo de vuelco en las pendientes.
- Do not use the machine on lawns with gradients of
more than 25% (14º).
- Do not use the machine on lawns with gradients
above 15% (8º).
Remember, there is no such thing as a "safe" gradient.
Moving on sloped lawns requires special care and
experience.
To prevent overturning:
- Never stop or start suddenly on slopes.
- Engage the drive gently and always keep a drive
gear engaged, especially on downward slopes.
- Speed must be reduced on slopes and sharp bends.
- Never move down slopes with the gear shift in
neutral (N); engage a lower gear.
Be careful on mounds, bumps and hidden hazards.
Never mow across slopes, but always either up or
down.
Be very careful when changing direction on slopes.
Stop the blade when crossing terrain other than lawns
and when the lawnmower is transported to and from
the work area.
Do not use the lawnmower with faulty guards or
without safety devices fi tted, such as, for example, the
grass bag.
