Ziehen Sie immer das Zündkerzenkabel ab, bevor Sie mit

der Reparatur, Reinigung oder mit Wartungsarbeiten beginnen. Nach den ersten 5 Betreibstunden alle Schrauben und Muttern überprüfen. Ölstand kontrollieren. Wenn der Rasenmäher gekippt wird, müssen sich die Zündkerze an der höchsten

Stelle beﬁ nden.

Entretien

Toujours debrancher la bougie avant réparation nettoyage

entretien. Après 5 heures d'utilisation, resserrer vis et écrous. Vériﬁ er l'huile. Lorsque la tondeuse est inclinée sur le côtc, il faut que la bougie occupent la position la plus élevée.

Inspeccion

Desconéctese siempre el cable del encendido de la bujía antes

de hacer una reparación, limpieza o trabajo de mantenimiento. Vovler a apretar tuercas y tornillos después de cinco horas de trabajo. Contrólose el aceite. Si se coloca el cortacésped de lado, el punto más alto debe ser la bujía.

Onderhoud

Voordag u begint met schoonmaken, reparaties of afstellen, altijd eerst de bougiekabel losmaken. Bouten en moeren kontroleren

ma vijf draaiuren. Oliepeil kontroleren en zonodig bijvullen. Als de maaier op de zijkant wordt gelegd, zorg dan dat de bougie naar boven zign gericht.

prima di riparazioni, pulizie o lavori di menutenzione. Dopo 5 ore di funzionamento stringere viti e dadi. Controllare l'olio. Piegando la falciatrice sul ﬁ ancolare attenzione che la candela

sia il punto più alto.

Regularly

Stop the engine and unscrew the dipstick. The level should be between FULL and ADD. NOTE: the dipstick must be screwed all the way down in order to indicate correct oil level. Avoid ﬁ lling with too much oil.

Regelmässig

Stellen Sie den Motor ab und schrauben Sie den Ölpeilstab heraus. De Ölstand soll swischen FULL and ADD liegen. ACHTUNG: der Ölpeilstab muss vollständig hineingeschraubt sein, damit der richtige Ölstand angezeigt werden kann. Vermeiden Sie zu viel Öl einzufüllen.

Régulièrement

Regelmatig

Kontroleer het oliepeil bij voorkeur bij een koude motor. Het niveau moet tussen FULL en ADD staan. Nooit beneden de ADD mar ook nooit boven FULL. N.B. De peilstok moet geheel ingedraaid worden voor dejuiste meting. Niet teveel olie bijvullen.

Periodicamente

Arrestare il motore e controllare l'asta dell'olio. Ll livello deve trovarsi fra FULL e ADD. ATTENZIONE: l'asta dell'olio deve essere avvitata ﬁ no in fondo per vedere il livello correctto dell'olio. Evitare di versare troppo olio.

Safe Operation Prac tic es for Pe des tri an-Controlled Rotary Lawnmowers

IMPORTANT: This cutting machine is ca pa ble of am pu tat ing hands and feet and throwing objects.

Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

I. Training

• Read the instructions carefully. Be fa mil iar with the con trols and the proper use of the equipment.

• Never allow children or people un fa mil iar with the ins truc tions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

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

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

II. Preparation

• While mowing, always wear sub stan tial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment 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 de signed for this pur pose.

- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while re fu el ing.

- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the en gine is hot.

- If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the ma chine away from the area of spillage and avoid cre at ing any source of ig ni tion until petrol va pors have dis si pat ed.

- Replace all fuel tanks and container caps se cure ly.

• Replace faulty silencers.

• Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or dam aged. Replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to pre serve balance.

• On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate.

III. Operation

• Do not operate the engine in a conﬁ ned space where dan ger ous carbon mon ox ide fumes can collect.

• Mow only in daylight or in good artiﬁ cial light.

• Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where feasible.

• Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

• Walk, never run.

• For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

• Exercise extreme caution when chang ing direction on slopes.

• Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

• Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawnmower towards you.

• Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for trans por ta tion when cross ing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed.

• Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or without safety de vic es, for example deﬂ ectors and/or grass catchers, in place.

• Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Op er at ing the engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury.

• Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine.

• Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade.

• Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or switch ing on the motor, except if the lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt more than absolutely nec es sary and lift only the part which is away from the op er a tor.

• Do not start the engine when standing in front of the discharge chute.

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the dis charge opening at all times.

• Never pick up or carry lawnmower while the engine is running.

• Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire:

- before cleaning blockages or un clog ging chute;

- before checking, cleaning or work ing on the lawnmower;

- after striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for damage and make repairs before re start ing and op er at ing the lawnmower;

- if the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (check im me di ate ly).

• Stop the engine:

- whenever you leave the lawnmower;

- before refuelling.

• Reduce the throttle setting during en gine shut down and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing.

• Go slow when using a trailing seat.

IV. Maintenance and Storage

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equip ment is in safe work ing condition.

• Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open ﬂ ame or spark.

• Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

• To reduce the ﬁ re hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

• Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or de te ri o ra tion.

• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

• If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
