Safety Alert Symbol
This 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 safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the
following precautions may result in serious injury.
Training
Before using the mower read the owners handbook carefully. Pay
particular attention to the safety precautions. 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. Local regulations can restrict the age of the
operator.
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.
All operators and mechanics should be trained. The owner is
responsible for training users. Do not operate the machine when
tired, ill or under the infl uence of alcohol or drugs.
Preparation
Whilst mowing, always wear substantial slip resistant footwear
and long trousers. Tie back long hair and do not wear jewelry.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and
remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine.
WARNING: Petrol is highly fl ammable:
• Store fuel in containers specifi cally designed for this
purpose
• Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling;
• Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap
from the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running
or when the engine is hot;
• If petrol is spilt, do not attempt to start the engine but move
the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid
creating any source of ignition until the petrol vapours have

presence controls are properly functioning. Refer to Operating
the Mower.

fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.
