29) Only use the mower with the stone guard.
30) Deformed or damaged blades must always be changed. Never attempt to repair them.
31) Always use original Grillo spare parts.
32) Towing loads (trailers, rollers, etc.) is forbidden.
33) Never stop when working on uphill or downhill slopes.
34) If you have to empty the fuel tank, do this outdoors.
35) CAUTION: to reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine compartment, the exhaust pipe, the exhaust manifolds,
the tank area and the fuel pipeline free from grass, leaves, dust, etc.
36) Never store the machine inside a building where fuel vapours may reach flames, sparks or bare electrical
wiring.
37) Replace worn or damaged exhaust pipes.
38) Store fuel in containers specially constructed for this purpose.
39) Allow the engine to cool before placing the machine indoors.
This machine must always be used in accordance to the recommendations, which are indicated in this manual.
If these safety information are not followed, the builder declines all responsibility.
Release attachments transmission, switch off the engine and disconnect the spark plug:
a) before cleaning the obstructed points;
b) before checking or repairing the grass-cutter lawn mower;
c) after having bumped against a foreign body (check the cutting device to see if it is damaged and repair
it, before using it another time);
d) if the machine vibrates in a anomalous way, make immediately a general check to identify what causes
this anomaly: if necessary, ask for the assistance of a technician).
Switch off the engine and release the transmission:
a) before the refuelling;
b) before the cleaning.
Disassembly the blade substitution or sharpening. Firstly switch off the engine, disconnect the spark plug and
use the gloves, to avoid the risks of injuries.
At the end of the cutting, bring the accelerator control lever at low revolutions and switch off the engine; if the
engine is endowed with the fuel lock cock, close it.
Keep correctly screwed bolts, nuts and screws to be sure that the material is in working order.
If some fuel remains in the tank, do not detach the material in a building, where the fumes can cause a flame or
a spark. Let the engine cool, before putting back the machine, whatever is the sort of the place.
Check frequently the condition of the expulsion rear protection, to avoid the deterioration.
Substitute the worn or damaged elements, so that the machine works in safety conditions.
Substitute the mufflers in bad conditions.
Before starting the work, make always sure that the blade, its bolts and all its cutting parts are not worn or dam-
aged.
Substitute the worn or damaged blade and the bolts, taking into consideration their series, in order to conserve
the balance.
Work only with the day-light or under a good artificial light.
Slow down on the slopes and in the narrow bends to avoid the tipping or losing of control; be very careful during
the changes of direction on the slopes.
Risk caused by the ground:
1. when the ground is very sloping;
2. on the climb the fall of the driver may caused the withdrawal of the machine;
3. in the descent, the fall of the driver may caused the tumbling of the machine;
4. when the ground is cluttered with natural objects: rocks, movable stones, tree-stumps, bottles, pieces
of iron, stakes and all the foreign bodies of every kind; these obstacles may be transformed in dan-
gerous bullets and urge the cutting-device in a unforeseeable way: they must be avoided.
Do not use the grass-cutter lawnmower, whose body has damaged protections or whose safety-device is not
correctly installed.
Do not change the statements of the engine RPM, if the engine is at maximum.
If the engine works at an excessive speed, the risk of people injuries increases.
For every kind of cutting-work, use the anti-noise helmet or the auricular protections.
