SAFETY REGULATIONS
GENERAL NOTICES
Any engine driven machine can become dangerous if
used incorrectly.
Pay particular attention to the instructions in this manual marked:
WARNING
This symbol means that failure to observe the regulation could cause injury or even death to the operator.
• Read this USE and MAINTENANCE Manual carefully before using your new motor-mower. This
manual provides the most up-to-date information
on your motor-mower available at the time of going to press. Manufaturer reserves the right to
modify this document at any time without prior notice.
• AFTER-SALES SERVICE. Use only original spare
parts. The use of non-original parts voids the warranty. When ordering spare parts, specify:
− motor-mower serial number;
− part code of spare part required;
− quantity or number of parts required.
SUITABLE CLOTHING
• Do not wear wide and flapping clothes that could
be caught in moving parts.
• Always wear robust gloves when servicing the motor-mower or coupling attachments.
• Do not operate your motor-mower barefoot, wearing sandals or shorts. Wear heavy shoes and trousers.
PRUDENCE
Prudence is the Golden Rule to prevent accidents.
TRAINING
The motor-mower must only be used by responsible
persons trained in the use of the machine and duly
authorized to use it.
MACHINE AND
ENGINE MANUALS
Read those MANUALS carefully before starting, using, servicing, refuelling or carrying out any work on
the motor-mower.
DECALS
Read all the decals attached to the motor-mower and
follow their prescriptions before starting, driving, refuelling or servicing the machine. Replace immediately
any damaged or illegible decals.
PHYSICAL CONDITION
Do not drive the motor-mower if your physical condition is not suitable.
NOISE
In order to reduce the problems deriving from the
noise of the machine:
• Do not work with the engine at maximum RPM
range.
• Keep the blade head and the blade holder ad-
justed.
• When using the machine for a long time, use ear
protections.

STARTING THE ENGINE
• Disengage all control levers before starting the motor. Keep your feet clear of the attachments fitted to
the machine.
• Do not run the engine in a closed ambient where
the exhaust gases can collect. They contain carbon monoxide that is highly toxic.
• Do not interfere with safety device (engine shutoff). Do not use the motor-mower if this safety device is missing or defective.
• Oil bath air filter (if fitted) - When delivered new,
there is no oil in the air filter. Before using your motor-mower, add motor oil up to the marked level.
OPERATING OF THE
MOTOR-MOWER
• First of all, make sure that you know how to stop
the engine in an emergency. Familiarize yourself
with the controls and learn how to use your motormower correctly.
• Do not allow children or inexperienced persons to
operate it.
• Do not use your motor-mower in proximity of other
people, and in particular of children. Do not use it
close to animals. Bear in mind that you are responsible for any damage or injury caused to persons or things.
• Keep your hands and feet clear of the cutter bar
when in motion.
• Use your motor-mower only in daylight or with
good artificial lighting. Operate it at walking pace.
Do not run.
• Ta k e p ar t i cu l a r ca re on slopes; operate only under
safe and stable conditions. Do not work uphill or
downhill; move across the slope instead. Take special care when turning.
• For obvious reasons, never work on slopes steeper
than 30°.
• To e n s ur e t h a t gasoline fuelled engines are correctly lubricated, avoid working for long periods on
slopes steeper than 20°.
• Do not operate the motor-mower if hoods or other
safety devices are missing or defective.
• Keep your hands and feet clear of all attachments.
• Do not lift or transport your motor-mower with the
engine running.
• Do not leave your motor-mower in closed ambients
with fuel in the tank. Fuel vapor is a potential
source of danger.
• Keep your motor-mower clean. Do not let grass
and oil residues build up: these are a fire hazard.
• Never use attachments coupled to the PTO in proximity of children or animals.
• Keep your hands and feet well clear of the attachment coupled to the PTO.
MAINTENANCE
• Stop the engine and disconnect, for gasoline engines, the spark plug lead:
− before checking or repairing your motor-mower;
− in case of excessive vibrations (investigate
cause immediately).
• Stop the engine before adjusting attachments.
• Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
• Fuel is highly flammable. Store fuel only in spe-
cifically designed containers. Refuel your motormower in the open. Do not smoke while refuelling.
• Complete refuelling before starting the engine. Do
not remove the fuel cap or refuel when the engine
is running or hot. In case of fuel spillage, do not
start the engine. Push your motor-mower some distance away from where the spillage occurred before starting it.
• Replace the exhaust pipe if it becomes worn or
damaged.
OPERATING OF ATTACHMENTS
• Check that the attachment coupled to the PTO funtions correctly before starting the motor.
