5. HOW TO USE THE MACHINE

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1
The machine must only be used for the
purpose for which it was designed (cutting and collecting
grass).
Using the machine in any other way is considered "improper
use" which will invalidate the warranty, relieve the manufac-
turer from all liabilities, and the user will consequently be li-
able for all and any damage or injury to himself or others.
Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited
to:
– transport people, children or animals on the machine or
on a trailer;
– tow or push loads without the use of the specified acces-
sory for towing;
– use of the machine for moving over unstable, slippery,
icy, stony, rough, marshy ground and puddles that do not
allow for evaluation of the consistency of the ground;
– use of the machine for leaf or debris collection;
– use of the blades on surfaces other than grass.
Do not tamper with or remove the safety
devices fitted on the machine. REMEMBER THAT THE USER
IS ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE AND INJURY TO
OTHERS.
Before using the machine:
– read the general safety regulations, paying particular at-
tention to driving and cutting on slopes;
– carefully read the instructions for use, make sure you are
familiar with the controls and know how to stop the
blades and the engine quickly;
– never put your hands or feet next to or beneath the rotat-
ing parts and always keep away from the exit.
Do not use the machine when in a precarious state of health
or under the effect of medicine or any other substances that
can reduce your reflex actions and your ability to concen-
trate.
It is the user's responsibility to assess the potential risk of
the area where work is to be carried out, and to take all the
necessary precautions to ensure his own safety and that of
others, particularly on slopes or rough, slippery and unsta-
ble ground.
Do not leave the machine on high grass with the engine run-
ning to avoid the risk of starting a fire.
This machine must not be used on
slopes steeper than 10° (17%) (
likely to be used mostly on sloping ground (never steeper
than 10°), fit counterweights (supplied on reques (
beneath the cross-member of the front wheels. These im-
prove stability at the front and reduce the chances of tipping
over.
IMPORTANT
All the references relating to the positions of
controls are described in chapter 4.

WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN

5.2
The safety devices work in two ways:
– by preventing the engine from starting if all the safety require-
ments have not been met;
– stopping the engine if even just one of the safety requirements is
lacking.
a) To start the engine it will be necessary that:
– the transmission is in "neutral";
– the blade is not engaged;
