Before Use - Cub Cadet L20 Manual Del Usuario

Safety information

Before use

¾ Before you begin work, make sure that you
are familiar with the device, its controls and
how to operate it.
¾ Check whether all fixing elements (nuts, bolts
and screws, etc.) are tightly fit to ensure that
the device is operated safely.
¾ Only operate the device in a technically
faultless state. Never change the engine
settings pre-configured in the factory. Have
damage repaired by a qualified technician or
service centre.
¾ Remove the adjustment tool or wrench before
switching on the device. A tool located in the
rotating cutting tools area may lead to injuries.
¾ Never use a device with damaged or missing
guards. They must be repaired or replaced by a
qualified expert or workshop.
¾ Never use the machine without protective
devices, and do not remove them! The
protective equipment forms part of the device.
¾ Never use the device with defective or
damaged safety equipment. Safety equipment
is designed for your protection and must always
be in functioning order. You must never make any
modifications to safety equipment or bypass their
functions.
¾ Check the grass catcher for damage and
correct mounting.
¾ Before mowing, make sure that the lawn is
free from branches, stones, wire etc. and look
out for such objects the whole time when
mowing. Items may be seized and flung out.
¾ Check (by means of visual inspection)
whether the cutting blades and their fixings
are blunt, damaged or deformed.
¾ Connect trailers or attachment devices
carefully. Driving performance, especially
steering, braking capability, and overall stability
are affected by attachments, towed items, ballast
weights and the weight of a grass catcher when
full.
Safety information
Tips for use
¾ Do not mow lawns which have grass blades
longer than 25 cm.
¾ Drive carefully. Reduce your speed before
turning.
¾ Do not use the device in potentially explosive
atmospheres containing flammable liquids,
gases or dusts. The tool can generate sparks
which could ignite dust or vapours. Prevent
naked flames, formation of sparks, and do not
smoke.
¾ Pay particular attention when you are mowing
or driving in reverse. To prevent accidents,
drive slowly and glance at the ground behind you
as you do so.
¾ Adjust the cutting height only with the
engine switched off and the cutting tool at a
standstill.
¾ Never remove the grass catcher or the
optional deflector while the engine is running.
¾ Never drive over gravel or footpaths with the
cutters running. There is a risk of stone chips.
¾ Do not mow over overgrown, dry grass (e.g.
pasture grass) or over dry heaps of leaves.
Do not park the device on dry grass or leaves.
Risk of fire from contact with hot exhausts and when dry grass or leaves gather on the hot
mower.
¾ Pay attention to traffic when working on roads
or when crossing them. The device is not
designed for use on public roads.
¾ Never empty the grass catcher while the
cutters are running. While emptying the grass
catcher attachment, you or other persons may be
injured by cut grass and objects being flung out.
¾ Take extra care with opening and closing the
grass catcher; there is a risk of crushing.
¾ When mowing close to lawn edges (e.g. close
to particularly steep slopes, pits, or under
trees, and by bushes and hedges), maintain a
safe distance at all times.
¾ If a foreign object (like a stone) comes into
contact with the cutting mechanism, or if
the device starts to vibrate unusually, switch
the motor off immediately. Inspect the device
for damage before continuing operation. If
necessary, take it to a service centre.
