Rover Mowers Limited ENGLISH SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions
1. Training
a. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the
controls and the proper use of the equipment.
b. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use the mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.
c. Never mow while people, especially children, or pets
are nearby.
d. Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible
for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
2. Preparation
a. While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and
long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
b. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is
to be used and remove all stones, sticks, wires, bones and other foreign objects.
c. WARNING- Petrol is highly flammable.
Take the following precautions. i. Store fuel in containers specially designed for this
purpose. ii. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling. iii. 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 engine is hot. iv. If petrol is spilled, 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 petrol vapours have dissipated. v. For reasons of safety the petrol tank and tank cap lock must be
replaced if damaged.
d. Replace faulty silencers. e. Before using, always visually inspect to see that the
blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades in sets to preserve balance.
f. On multibladed machines, take care as rotating one
blade can cause other blades to rotate.
3. Operation
a. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where
dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
b. Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light. c. Avoid operating the equipment in wet grass, where
feasible.
d. Always be sure of your footing on slopes. e. Walk, never run. f. For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of
slopes, never up and down.
g. Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
h. Do not mow excessively steep slopes. i. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the
mower towards you.
j. Stop the blade(s) ,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.
k. Never operate the mower with defective guards or
shields, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or grass catchers in place.
l. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed
the engine.
m. Disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting
the engine.
n. Start the engine or switch on the mower carefully
according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade(s).
o. Do not tilt when starting the engine or switching on
the motor, unless the mower has to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt it more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator.
p. Do not start the engine when standing in front of the
discharge chute.
q. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
r. Never pick up or carry a mower while the engine is
running.
s. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug lead:

damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the mower.
iv. If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally check
immediately.
t. Stop the engine
i. Whenever you leave the mower. ii. Before refuelling.
u. Reduce the throttle setting during engine run-out and if
the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn off the fuel at the conclusion of mowing.
4. Maintenance and storage.
a. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the
equipment is in safe working condition.
b. Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark. c. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. d. To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer,
battery compartment and petrol storage area free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease. e. Check the grass catcher frequently for wear or
deterioration. f. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. g. If the fuel tank has to be drained, do this outdoors.
