Assembly; Assembling The Handle - Murray MP450D20 Manual Del Operador

5.3 General Safe Operation
1. Do not run the engine in closed or poorly ventilated areas
where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can gather.
2. Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine, except
if the lawnmower 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.
3. Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with
feet well away from the blade.
4. Do not start the engine when standing in front of the
discharge chute.
5. Once the engine is started, it is recommended to make
sure engine control lever and braking system (operator
presence control) are properly functioning before
commencing to mow.
6. While operating the lawnmower only walk, never run.
7. Take extra care when using the lawnmower on slopes
(see section 5.4 Slope Operation below) and near drop-offs,
ditches or embankments.
8. Never reverse or pull the lawnmower towards you when
engine is running.
9. Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted when
crossing surfaces other than grass and when transporting the
lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed;
10. Watch for traffic when operating near roads.
11. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge openings at all times.
12. Never pick up or carry a lawnmower while the engine is
running.
13. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug boot and make
sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:
- Before clearing blockages or unclogging a chute;
- Before checking, cleaning or working on the lawnmower.
- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the lawnmower for
damage and make repairs before restarting and operating the
lawnmower.
- If the lawnmower starts to vibrate abnormally (check
immediately – abnormal vibration is generally a warning of
trouble).
- Before leaving the lawnmower unattended.
- Before refueling the lawnmower.
- Before cleaning, repairing or inspecting the lawnmower.
14. Prolonged exposure to noise and vibration from petrol
engine powered equipment should be avoided – to minimize
the risks from noise and vibration it is recommended to take
intermittent breaks and limit the duration of operation; wear
ear protection from engine noise as well as heavy work gloves
to reduce vibration in the hands.

5.4 Safe Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall accidents which
can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you
feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
1. Do mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.
2. Do remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. before
starting to mow.
3. Do watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
4. Do not mow near drop offs, ditches, or embankments. The
operator could lose footing or balance.
5. Do not mow excessively steep slopes (maximum 10 degrees)
or areas where the ground is very rough , exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
6. Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause
slipping.
7. Do not leave the mower on slope without the operator
present (even with the engine stopped).
5.5 Transportation
1. Empty the fuel tank, ideally let the engine run until all petrol
is used up (do not leave the lawnmower unaccompanied with
the engine running). If the fuel tank has to be drained, this
should be done outdoors.
2. Remove the spark plug boot from the spark plug.
3. Drain the engine oil from the engine.
4. Clean the cooling fins of the cylinder and the engine
housing.
5. When transporting the lawnmower by truck or similar
device, ensure that the mower is securely fastened to be free
of movement of any part of the lawnmower.
6. For shipping the product, use the original packaging
whenever possible.
