All consumer machines which are fitted with a genuine Hayter friction disc as original
equipment before use, are covered by a Lifetime Warranty against the engine crankshaft

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Alert Symbol

his safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages. When
you see this symbol be alert to the possibility of injury. Carefully read
the following and inform others.

Your mower is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the
following precautions may result in serious injury.

Training

Read the instructions carefully. Ensure that you are familiar with the con­trols and the proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the mower
quickly in an emergency.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use
the mower.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or hazards occur­ring to other people or their property.

1.6

Preparation

It is recommended that a high sensitivity Residual Current - Operated
Circuit - Breaker (RCCB) with a trip current of not more than 30mA is
installed at the mains power socket. This will provide the user with addi­tional protection against electric shock. The fuse installed in the plug only
provides protection for the electrical equipment and will not safeguard
against electrocution. Always check the RCCB before using the mower.

WARNING: Regularly inspect the supply cable for signs of damage or
ageing. Replace immediately if defective.

Always wear substantial footwear and long trousers while mowing. Do
not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove all
stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.

PRECAUTIONSSAFETY

Preparation

Always ensure that the mower is in a safe operating condition.
Frequently check all nuts, bolts and screws for tightness. Use only gen­uine Hayter parts.

Damaged cutterblades and loose fixing bolts are major hazards. Before
use, visually inspect the cutting mechanism to ensure that it is in good
condition. A damaged cutterblade must be replaced immediately with
a genuine Hayter replacement part. Cutterblades which are slightly
worn can be resharpened. Ensure that both cutting edges are resharp­ened equally to maintain balance.
An unbalanced cutterblade may cause serious damage to your
machine. Refer to "Maintenance."

Operation

SWITCH OFF AND REMOVE PLUG FROM MAINS.

- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute.

- Before cleaning, checking or working on the mower.

- Whenever you leave the mower.

- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower for damage
and make repairs before re-starting and operating the mower.

- If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).

- If the supply cable is entangled.

THE CUTTERBLADE CAN CONTINUE TO ROTATE AFTER
THE MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF.

Keep the supply cable clear of the cutterblade at all times.

Do not mow across the supply cable. Immediately disconnect the cable
from the mains supply if this occurs and check for damage. Do not use
a defective supply cable.

Mow only in the daylight or in good artificial light.

Avoid using the mower on wet grass, where feasible.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk, never run.

Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

1.7

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Operation

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards
you.

Switch off if the mower has to be tilted for transportation when cross­ing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the mower to and
from the area to be mowed.

Never operate the mower unless the guards are securely in position and
in good condition.

Start the mower carefully, with feet well away from the cutterblade.

Do not tilt the front of the mower more than is absolutely necessary
when starting.
Never lift the rear of the mower.

Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.

Never pick up or carry a mower while it is running or connected to the
mains supply.

Do not lift the rear deflector plate whilst the mower is in operation,
particularly when using without a grassbag.
