SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 perfectly 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 under
the infl uence of alcohol or drugs.

Preparation

Whilst mowing, always wear substantial slip resistent footwear
and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot
or wearing sandals.

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
dissipated;

• Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely;

• Always use fresh fuel which contains 10% or less ethanol.
Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage. High
levels of ethanol can cause engine damage.

Replace faulty exhaust.

Replace faulty silencers.

A damaged cutterblade or loose fi xing bolt are major hazards.
Before use, always 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.

Do not tamper with or disable the mower safety systems, sealed
adjusters or other features.

Before use, ensure that all starting interlocks and operator
presence controls are properly functioning. Refer to Operating
the Mower.

Do not alter or tamper with the engine speed control.

Operation

Do not operate the engine in a confi ned space where exhaust
fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then
pull the cord rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm
injury.

Mow only in daylight or good artifi cial light.

Avoid using the machine on wet grass, where feasible. Always
be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk, never run.

Do not operate the mower near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes of more than 20

○

and mow

across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction.

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

Always replace worn or faulty parts with genuine Hayter parts.

This machine contains spring loaded assemblies which could
cause a hazard when disassembled and re-assembled, this
maintenance should only be carried out by a Hayter authorised
dealer.

If the machine has to be tilted for transportation when crossing
surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the machine to
and from the area to be mowed, stop the blades by releasing the
engine stop lever and ensure that the blades have stopped before
tilting the mower.
