loosened.

! Prior to using the machine check that the brakes work and if necessary have them adjusted or repaired.

2.1.3 While using the machine

! The machine must not be used for work on slopes that have an incline greater than 10° (17%).
! Transporting other people, animals or objects on the machine is prohibited. Objects may be transported

only on a trailer approved by the machine’s manufacturer.

! Even when leaving the machine for a short time, always remove the ignition key.
! If you are driving the machine out side the mowing area, always shut off the mowing mechanism and

raise it to transport position.

! Never mow near dumps, holes or river banks. If a wheel gets too close to th e e dge of a hole or ditc h,

the mower may suddenly overturn.

! While working, keep clear of molehills, concrete supports, tree stumps and the curb stones of gardens

and street s. These may come into co ntact with the blade s and damage the mowing mechanism and
the machine itself.

! If you run into a solid objec t, stop t he mac hine, shut of f the mowing mechanism and the engine, and

check the whole machine, especially the steering mechanism. If necessary, repair any damage before
restarting the machine.

! Where possible, avoid working with the machine on wet grass. Reduced traction may cause skidding.
! Avoid obstacles (e.g., sudden changes in slope, ditches, etc.) that could overturn the machine.
! Do not try to maintain the machine’s stability by stepping on the ground.
! Use the machine only in daylight or under sufficient artificial light.
! Do not drive the machine on public thoroughfares.
! Whe n operating the mac hine, do not wear loose clothing or shor t trous er s; wear strong, closed work

shoes. Never operate the machine barefoot or in sandals.

! Do not leave the engine running in enclosed spaces. Exhaust gases contain poisonous substances that

have no odour but are nonetheless fatal.

! Do not place your hands or feet under the mowing mechanism cover . Never bring any part of your body

near the machine’s rotating or moving parts.

! Do not start the engine without the exhaust pipe.
! The noise that occurs during mowing does not ordinarily exceed the highest acoustic pressure

and volume values shown in this manual (

1.4). However, under some conditions, due to terrain

characteristics, the noise level may briefly exceed specified levels.

! The manufacturer recommends wearing ear protectors while operating the machine. Stress placed on

the auditory organ s by high volume levels or the long-term ef f e cts of noise can per manently damage
hearing.

! Always give your full attention to driving and the other ac tivities involved in using the machine. The

most common ways to lose control over the machine are:



Loss of traction.



Driving too fast; not adapting speed to the surface conditions and characteristics.



Abrupt braking that can lock the wheels.



Using the mower for purposes other than those intended.

2.1.4 After working with the machine

! Always keep the machine and its accessories clean and in good working order.

24

! The rot ating blades are sharp and may cause injur y. When handling the blades, wrap them or wear

protective gloves.

level of torque (

! Pay special attention to the self-locking nuts. Af ter a nut has been removed twice, its self-locking

ability is reduced, and it must be replaced with a new one.

! Regularly check the c o mp onents and, when necessary, replace them ac c o r ding to th e manuf acturer’s

recommendation.

6.3.6).

2.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKING ON SLOPES

Slopes are a main cause of accidents, loss of control and overturning. These can lead to severe injury or
death. Always use extra caution when mowing on slopes. If you are not sure or are unable to mow on a
slope, don’t do it.

! The self-propelled mower can be used on slopes of no more than 10° (17%), when using the 4x4 drive

at a maximum slope of 1 5 ° ( 2 7 %) and only ver tically, i.e., upward or downward. More information

5.5.4.

! Extra caution is necessary when turning. Do not turn around on a slope unless absolutely necessary.
! Beware of holes, roots or uneven ter rain. Uneven terrain may cause your machine to overturn. Tall

grass may conceal dangerous ob stacles. Therefor e, remove all obstacle s from the mowing surface
ahead of time.

! Select a speed that will not require you to stop on a slope.
! Be very careful when attaching the grass catcher or other attachments. They may reduce the machine’s

stability.

! Always move slowly and smoothly on a slope. Do not change speed or direction suddenly.
! Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the wheels lose tr action, turn off power to the blades and

slowly drive down the slope.

! Ac c eler ate ver y sl owly and caref ully on slope s, to prevent the machine from lurc hing. Befor e a slop e,

always reduce the engine speed. Especially when driving downward, reduce the speed to the minimum
for using the transmission’s braking effect.

2.3 CHILD SAFETY

If the operator is not alert to the presence of children, a tragic accident may occur. The mower’s
movement attracts their attention. Never assume that children will stay where you saw them last.

! Never leave children unsupervised in mowing areas.
! Never allow children to operate this machine!
! Be alert and ready to stop your machine in case of an emergency.
! Before and and while backing up, look to the rear and at the ground.
! Never transport children on the mower. They can fall and be severely injured or dangerously interfere

with your operation of the mower. Never allow children to operate the machine.

! Take extra care in areas of limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).

2.4 FIRE SAFETY

While using the mower, you must observe all work and fire safety rules relevant to this type of machine.
! Regularly r emove flammable mater ials (dry grass, leaves, etc.) from the ar ea of the engine exhaus t,

battery and anywhere where they might come into contact with petrol or oil, ignite and set the machine
on fire.

! Allow the mower’s engine to cool before storing it in an enclosed space.
! Use extra c aution when working with petrol, oil and other flammable substanc es. These are highly

flammable substances, and their fumes are explosive. Do not smoke while working. Never unscrew the
fuel cap, and never add fuel when the engine is running or is warm, or if the machine is in an enclosed
space.

25

! Check the fuel flow before use; do not fill the tank up to the neck. Engine heat, sun and the expandability

of fuel may lead to overflow and r esult in fire. Use only approved container s for storing flammable
substances. Never stor e th e machine or f uel c ont ainer near any heat sour c e. Use e x tr a c aution when
handling the batter y. Batter y gases ar e highly explosive. Do not smoke or use an open flame when
handling the battery, as this may cause serious injury.
