If after reading the operator’s manual you are still unsure about the safety risks associated with use of the machine, you should not use the machine. Please contact your dealer for more information.
These safety instructions only address the basics for safe use. It would be impossible in the safety instructions to describe all possible risk situations that could arise when using the machine. You can, however, prevent accidents by always using common sense.
For a replacement copy of the operator’s manual, contact your dealer.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use the machine until you have read the operator’s manual carefully and understand the instructions given. All maintenance work or adjustments not described in this manual must be performed by an authorized Husqvarna service workshop.
•Read this manual carefully and make sure you understand it before using the machine or
performing any maintenance. If the user cannot read this manual, it is the responsibility of the machine owner to explain the contents to the user.
•Follow all safety instructions. Failure to do so may result in injury to yourself or others.
•Accident prevention regulations, other general safety regulations, occupational safety rules and traffic regulations must be followed without fail.
•All users shall be trained in use of the machine. The owner is responsible for training users.

WARNING!
Under no circumstances may the original design of the machine be modified without written approval from the manufacturer.

SAFETY
•Check that the machine is in serviceable condition prior to use; see the chapter “Maintenance/ Maintenance Schedule”.

•Never leave the machine unsupervised with the engine running.
•Make sure that other people are nearby when you are using the machine so that you can call for help should an emergency arise.
•The machine is tested and approved only with the equipment originally provided or recommended by the manufacturer.
Preparations

•Clear the area of objects such as rocks, toys, wire, etc., which could be picked up and thrown by the blades.
•Locate fixed objects in the ground, such as sprinkler systems, poles, water valves, bases for washing lines. Check for hidden electrical cables or similar in the surface of the lawn. Run the machine around these objects. Never intentionally run the machine over foreign objects.
•Make sure all guard plates and protective shields are in place and intact when using the machine.
•Make sure no clothing, long hair or jewelry can catch in moving machine parts.
•Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear protective shoes or protective boots with anti-slip and preferably with steel toes.

The engine can become very hot. To avoid being burned, you must turn off the engine and wait until all parts have cooled before touching the engine.
WARNING!
Always use approved protective clothing and approved protective equipment when using the machine. Protective clothing and protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of accidents, but wearing proper clothing and the correct equipment will reduce the degree of injury should an accident occur.

SAFETY
Operating
•Do not use the machine on grades of more than 20°. We recommend working across slopes rather than up and down. This will yield a more even result. Do not leave the machine standing on a slope unattended.
•Do not use the machine if you are tired, if you have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking other drugs or medication that can affect your vision, judgment or co-ordination.
•Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking proper ventilation.
•Do not use the machine on any surface other than grass.
•Make sure you have a proper foothold when using the machine, particularly when backing. Walk, don’t run. Never work on wet grass. Poor traction may cause you to slip.
•Keep your hands and feet away from moving parts.
•Keep your hands and feet away from the work tools.
•Slow down and be especially careful on slopes. Make sure to run the machine in the recommended direction on slopes. Be careful when working close to sudden changes in level.
•Smoking, open flames or sparks in the vicinity of the machine are strictly forbidden. Gasoline is extremely flammable and carelessness in handling can result in personal injury or fire.
•Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into anything. If necessary, make repairs before beginning again.
•Whatever happens, you should always park the machine on even ground, disengage the drive, turn off the engine and wait until all moving parts have stopped before leaving the operating position behind the machine.
WARNING!
Engine exhaust, some of its constituents and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals considered to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The engine emits carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, poisonous gas. Do not use the machine in enclosed spaces.
