4. Do not use the machine on grass with slopes greater than 15 ° (27%) ；do not
use the machine on grass with side slopes greater than 10 ° (18%).
5. No slope is safe. Traveling on grassy slopes requires special care. To protect
against tipping:
- Do not stop or start suddenly when going up or down an incline.
- Shift the gear slowly and always keep the machine running, especially when
descending a slope.
- Machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during sharp turns.
- Stay alert for slopes and other hidden dangers.
- Never mow along the face of the slope.
6. Be careful when pulling loads or using heavy equipment:
- Use only approved drawbar hitch points.
- Limit loads to those you can safely control.
- Do not turn sharply. Be careful when backing up.
- Use counterweights or wheel weights whenever indicated in the instruction
manual.
7. Stop blades before crossing surfaces other than grass.
8. Never use the machine with the guards damaged or without the safety guards in
place.
9. Do not change the engine governor setting or over-speed the engine. Running the
engine at excessive speed can increase the risk of personal and equipment injury.
10.Before leaving the driver's seat:
- Disengage the blades and lower the accessories.
- Shift into neutral and set the parking brake.
- Stop the engine and remove the ignition key.
11.Disengage the blades, stop the engine, and remove the ignition key:
- Before clearing obstructions or unclogging the collecting channel.
- Before cleaning, checking or repairing the machine.
- After striking a foreign object (inspect the machine for damage and make
repairs before restarting and operating the machine).
- If the machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check the causes immediately).
12.Unhook blades for transport or when not in use.
13.Stop the engine and disengage the blades:
- Before refueling.
- Before height adjustment, unless adjustment can be made from the
operator's position.
14.Reduce the throttle while the engine is running. If the engine is equipped with a
shutoff valve, cut off the fuel when you have finished mowing.
15.Be careful of traffic when crossing or near roads.
16.Never direct the discharge of material towards bystanders or allow anyone to
approach the machine while it is in operation.
1.3.4. Maintenance and storage
1. Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to ensure equipment is in safe operating
condition.
2. Never store equipment with gasoline in the tank inside a building where the vapors
can reach an open flame or spark.
3. Allow the engine to cool before storing it in any enclosure.
4. To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, engine escape, battery compartment
and gasoline storage area free of grass, blades, or excessive grease.
5. Check the grass catcher frequently to see if it is worn or damaged.
6. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety reasons.
