HOW TO USE THE MACHINE

5. HOW TO USE THE MACHINE

5.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

DANGER!
!
The machine must only be used for the purpose for which it
was designed (cutting and collection of grass).
Do not tamper with or remove the safety devices fitted to the machine.
REMEMBER THAT THE USER IS ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE AND
INJURIES TO OTHERS. Before using the machine:
– read the general safety regulations ( ☛ 1.2), paying particular attention to
driving and cutting on slopes;
– carefully read the instructions for use, become familiar with the controls and
on how to quickly stop the blades and engine;
– never put your hands or feet next to or beneath the rotating parts and always
keep away from the discharge opening.
Do not use the machine when in a precarious state of health or under the
effect of medicines or other substances that can reduce your reflex actions
and your ability to concentrate. It is the user's responsibility to assess the
potential risk of the area where work is to be carried out, as well as to take all
the necessary steps to ensure his own safety and that of others, particularly on
slopes or rough, slippery and unstable ground.
Do not leave the machine stopped on highgrass with the engine running to
avoid the risk of starting a fire.
WARNING!
!
This machine must not be used on slopes greater than 10°
(17%) ( ☛ 5.5). If the machine is likely to be used mostly on sloping ground
(never above 10°), fit counterweights (supplied on request ☛ 8.1) beneath the
cross-member of the front wheels which improve stability at the front and
reduce the chance of tipping up.
IMPORTANT
All the references relating to the positions of controls are those
described in chapter 4.

5.2 WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES CUT IN

The safety devices work in two ways:
– by preventing the engine from starting if all the safety requirements 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 blades are not engaged;
– the operator is seated or the parking brake is engaged.
