! Before working with the machine, clear the mowing surface of all stones, wood, wires, bones, fallen
branches and other foreign objects that the machine may throw during operation.
! Repair all defects before further use. Before starting work, thoroughly inspect the V-belt tension, the
sharpness of the mowing blades and the cleanliness of the mowing mechanism cover.
! Before using the machine, visually check that the machine parts are not damaged or missing or visibly
loosened.
! Prior to using the machine check that the brakes work and if necessary have them adjusted or repaired.
2.1.3 While using the machine
! The machine must not be used for work on slopes that have an incline greater than 10° (17%).
! Transporting other people, animals or objects on the machine is prohibited. Objects may be transported
only on a trailer approved by the machine's manufacturer.
! Even when leaving the machine for a short time, always remove the ignition key.
! If you are driving the machine outside the mowing area, always shut off the mowing mechanism and
raise it to transport position.
! Never mow near dumps, holes or river banks. If a wheel gets too close to the edge of a hole or ditch,
the mower may suddenly overturn.
! While working, keep clear of molehills, concrete supports, tree stumps and the curb stones of gardens
and streets. These may come into contact with the blades and damage the mowing mechanism and
the machine itself.
! If you run into a solid object, stop the machine, shut off the mowing mechanism and the engine, and
check the whole machine, especially the steering mechanism. If necessary, repair any damage before
restarting the machine.
! Where possible, avoid working with the machine on wet grass. Reduced traction may cause skidding.
! Avoid obstacles (e.g., sudden changes in slope, ditches, etc.) that could overturn the machine.
! Do not try to maintain the machine's stability by stepping on the ground.
! Use the machine only in daylight or under sufficient artificial light.
! Do not drive the machine on public thoroughfares.
! When operating the machine, do not wear loose clothing or short trousers; wear strong, closed work
shoes. Never operate the machine barefoot or in sandals.

have no odour but are nonetheless fatal.
! Do not place your hands or feet under the mowing mechanism cover. Never bring any part of your body
near the machine's rotating or moving parts.
! Do not start the engine without the exhaust pipe.

and volume values shown in this manual (
characteristics, the noise level may briefly exceed specified levels.
! The manufacturer recommends wearing ear protectors while operating the machine. Stress placed on
the auditory organs by high volume levels or the long-term effects of noise can permanently damage
hearing.
! Always give your full attention to driving and the other activities involved in using the machine. The
most common ways to lose control over the machine are:
Loss of traction.
