General
This section describes the machine's safety equipment,
its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be
carried out to ensure that it operates correctly.
WARNING! Never use a machine that
!
has faulty safety equipment! If your
machine fails any checks contact your
service agent to get it repaired.
Prevent unintentional starting by
removing the ignition cable from the
spark plug.
Engine brake handle
IMPORTANT! Federal regulations require an engine
control to be installed on this lawn mower in order to
minimize the risk of blade contact injury. Do not under
any circumstances attempt to defeat the function of
the operator control. The blade turns when the engine
is running.
The engine brake is designed to stop the engine. When
the grip on the engine brake handle is released the
engine should stop.
Checking the engine brake handle
•
Start the engine and then release the brake handle.
The engine should stop and the drive should
disengage.
MACHINE´S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Rear deflector
The rear deflector, attached between the rear wheels of
your mower, is provided to minimize the possibility that
objects will be thrown out of the rear of the mower into the
operator's mowing position.
Inspecting the rear deflector
•
Make sure the rear deflector is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects such as cracks, or broken
springs that force the door closed. Replace the
deflector or springs if damaged.
Muffler
WARNING! Never use a machine
!
without a muffler, or with a faulty
muffler. A damaged muffler may
substantially increase the noise level
and the fire hazard. Keep fire fighting
equipment handy.
The muffler gets very hot during and
after use. This also applies during
idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when working near
flammable substances and/or vapours.
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
Inspecting the muffler
•
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and
secured correctly.
