Child Safety - Meccanica Benassi DAYTONA 2WD Manual De Usuario

2.1.4 After finishing work with the machine
! Always maintain the machine and its accessories clean and in good technical condition.
! The rotating blades are sharp and may cause injuries. Whenever handing the blades always use
protective gloves or wrap the blades.
! Regularly check the nuts and bolts securing the blades so that they are tightened with the appropriate
amount of torque ( 6.3.6).
! Pay special attention to lock nuts. After the nut is loosened a second time its locking capability is
reduced and therefore it needs to be replaced with a new one.
! Regularly inspect all components and if necessary replace those that need to be replaced based on the
manufacturer's recommendations.
2.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORK ON SLOPES
Slopes are the main cause of accidents, loss of control over the machine or subsequent roll-overs, which
may lead to serious injuries or death. Mowing on slopes always requires an increased level of attention.
If you are not sure, or it exceeds your ability, do not mow on slopes.
! Riding mowers can be used on slopes with a maximum incline up to 18° and when 4x4-drive
is used on slopes with a maximum incline of 20° and only in the direction of the fall line, i.e.
upwards or downwards. More information
! When changing direction increased care is needed. Do not turn on a slope unless it is absolutely
necessary.
! Watch out for holes, roots, uneven terrain. Uneven terrain may cause the machine to turn over. High
grass may conceal hidden obstacles. Therefore, remove all foreign objects from the area where you
wish to mow in advance.
! Select such a speed so that you do not need to stop when on a hill.
! Be very careful when attaching various hitch attachments. It may lead to a reduced stability of the
machine.
! Perform all movements on a slope slowly and smoothly. Do not make sudden changes to speed or
direction.
! Avoid starting up or stopping on a slope. In the event that the wheels lose traction, turn off the power
to the blades and drive slowly down the hill.
! Start driving very carefully and slowly when on a slope so that the machine does not "skip". Always
reduce the machine's driving speed before a slope, and especially when driving down a hill lower the
driving speed to minimum to take advantage of the braking effect of the transmission. This
braking effect is significantly higher on the 4x4 machine.

2.3 CHILD SAFETY

If the riding mower operator is not prepared for the presence of children then a tragic accident may
happen. The movement of a riding mower attracts the attention of children. Never assume that children
will remain in the location where you last saw them.
! Do not allow children without supervision in areas where you are mowing grass.
! Always be prepared - if children approach you then turn off the machine.
! Before and while reversing look behind you and at the ground.
! Never transport children, they may fall and seriously injure themselves, or they may dangerously
interfere with the riding mower controls. Never allow children to operate the machine.
! Pay increased attention in places with limited visibility (near trees, bushes, walls, etc.).
