The following precautions should be taken in order to
prevent serious injuries and accidents.
1 - Carefully read and follow the instructions printed on the
labels fixed to the machine (Look page 2).
2 - Keep bystanders, particularly children and pets away from
the mowing area (Fig. 1).
3 - Do not allow any inexperienced or under age persons,
or those who may not possess sufficient strength, to
operate the mower or if you have taken alcohol, drugs, or
medication (Fig. 2).
4 - When the engine is running, do not put hands or feet near
or under the mower deck (Fig. 3).
5 - Always think about safety and dress accordingly (Look
page 10-11).
6 - Wear only tough shoes when mowing, never sandals (Look
page 10-11).
7 - Always put on safety glasses or eye protection before
starting to work (Look page 10-11).
8 - Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the controls and the
proper use of the mower, before using it, especially on how
to stop it in case of urgent need.
9 - Do not mow on wet grass or other slippery surfaces; keep
a firm hold on the handle and walk behind the mower (Fig.
4), never run.
10 - Do not mow up or down a slope, but always across it; if
the slope is too steep, do not mow (Fig. 5).
11 - Mow only in daylight or under strong artificial lighting.
12 - Do not leave the mower in places where exhaust gases can
accumulate and cause fire.
13 - Always check that rear deflector is properly in place
(Fig. 6).
14 - If you strike an object, stop the engine and check for any
damage; do not restart the engine before carrying out the
necessary repairs (Fig. 7).
15 - Do not tilt the mower when starting: the blade could cause
injuries.
