FOREWORD
This machine may only be utilized for the purpose for which it was designed, i.e. to cut
30cm-wide strips of turf.
Any other use other than that stated, not covered or deducible from this Ma-nual and the
enclosed Engine Manual is “PROHIBITED”.
Failure to comply with instructions in this Manual and in the Engine Manual releases the
manufacturer from all liability, in particular for any damage resulting from improper or
incorrect use, through negligence, superficial interpretation or flagrant disregard for the
safety requirements herein.
Get your dealer to explain how to use the machine in optimum safety conditions.
Always perform the checks as prescribed herein before each work session with the machine.
Should any information given in the following pages be unclear or not straightforward
please contact the manufacturer directly.
1. USE OF THE MANUAL
This Manual consists of numbered pages and enclosures featured in the list of contents.
Before operating the machine the user must read the instructions in the Operator’s Manual
carefully as well as those of the Engine Manual enclosed.
Use of the turf cutter by more than one operator (individually), means that they must have
carefully read the Operator’s Manual and the Engine Manual before using it.
The aforementioned manuals form an integral part of the machine and must therefore be
kept intact and in good condition, in a known, easily accessible place for the entire working
life of the machine, even if the turf cutter is passed on to another owner. The purpose of
these manuals is to provide the information necessary for the safe and competent use of
the product. In the instance of wear or purely for a greater technical working knowledge,
the manufacturer may be contacted directly. The Notes Section at the end of the Turf
cutter Manual is for the addition of any complementary notes.
In this Manual all safety information appears in special boxes headed “WARNING”.
WARNING
This heading is used to draw the user’s attention to hazardous areas or moving parts of
the machine. It is also used in instances where failure to comply with the instructions given
may result in injury to persons and animals or damage to property.
