Operator’s Manual – Spider CROSS LINER
9
•Do not use the mower if there is less than 20% of fuel in the fuel tank.
•Do not move the mower by means of towing it behind another machine.
•The machine should only be used by persons over 18 years of age, who have been acquainted with the machine and the
user’s manual. The remote control (further referred to as “RC”) is considered as a part of the machine
•The user’s manual must be stored in a place permanently accessible to the operator and must be available to him at all times.
•Do not allow children or unauthorized persons use the product.
•Before starting to operate the machine, you have to be familiar with all the symbols next to the controls and indicators used on
the mower and the RC.
•Pay special attention to the stopping and shutting-off of the engine and to the emergency shutting-off of the mower.
•Before using the mower on a slope, make sure you test and practice your mower-control skills on flat and level ground, which
is sufficiently free and spacious. Master how to control the movement on a surface, to mow around bushes, trees and other
terrain elements and obstacles.
•When operating the mower on slope, make sure that the engine revolutions are set to maximum speed. If you stop the mower
on a slope, position the wheels across the slope.
•While operating or transporting the mower, the operator must always have the mower in their view. The maximum distance
between the operator and the mower is 50 m/165 ft.
•While using the mower follow all safety regulations given in this manual and respect local regulations and provisions concerning
noise-emissions, especially when using in hospitals, spas and other sensitive areas.
•The operator must pay attention to the area into which the mulched grass may be thrown. Neither the operator, nor any other
persons, children nor animals should be allowed to enter this area. If mowing uneven terrain, the ejection and throwing of
undesirable objects becomes more probable due to the displacement of the mowing device (tilt of one side of the machine)
while crossing the edges of different terrain.
•The operator of the machine may be responsible for any damage caused to third parties by operating the machine.
•The mower may be used on dry surface on slopes listed in chapter 4.3. On wet or moist surfaces, the mowed slope should not
exceed 20 degrees when using the machine without use of the integrated stabilizing winch.
•Before operating the machine, make sure you remove all loose stones, sticks, glass, wire, bones, branches and all other
objects that can be picked up by the blades and thrown or that could damage the mower from the mowing area.
•While operating the mower avoid obstacles, do not drive over higher obstacles (such as stones, stumps, brick), near precipices,
on unstable soil or in places where the mower could fall down or flip over.
•When operating pay attention to electric power lines especially when driving beneath electric wires where the radio signal may
be lost. In such case the mower immediately shuts off the internal combustion engine and stops all movements.
•When using the machine near busy thoroughfares make sure that the mower does not endanger (by throwing undesirable
objects) passers-by or their property. Choose a suitable working procedure (see chapter: Operating the mower).
•The operator/user is responsible for the safety of persons that enter the working area of the machine. Stop your work if these
persons enter the working area.
•The transportation of persons, animals or loads on the mower is prohibited.
•Do not place any objects or tools on the product.
•While operating, especially in windy conditions, choose the operator’s position carefully so as to keep the operator away from
the stream of exhaust gas, dust or mulched grass.
•Stop work and clean the machine and itscooling surfaces several times while working industy conditions to avoid over-heating
during operation. If necessary, clean the machine and its cooling surfaces several times while working. The dust layer must
not exceed 1 mm.
•Refuel only when the machine is off –before operating, if possible –and the fuel tank is cold. Always keep at least 30% of the
fuel in the tank. If you need to refuel during your work, do not fill the fuel into a hot tank or while the engine is still hot. Let the
machine cool down.
•Before refueling push the STOP button on the control panel of the mower.
•Never refuel while the engine is running.
•Do not start the engine if you find spilled fuel, open vessels with fuel or other combustible objects or gases in the immediate
proximity of the mower.
•Do not refuel near open fire.
•Do not place this product near open fire or other sources of heat.
•While operating or immediately after shutting the machine off do not touch those parts of the machine that heat up during
operation. This concerns mainly the engine exhaust pipe, metal parts of the hydraulic drive and metal parts of the internal
combustion engine.
•While operating do not touch the high voltage conductor leading to the sparking plug.
•After starting the engine, test the correct functioning of the emergency engine stop on the radio transmitter. This function should
be checked at least once during every shift and every time you enter a new area for mowing or mulching.
•Before starting your work test the correct functioning of the safety components (EMERGENCY STOP...) on the mower and the
RC.
•Never leave the engine running without supervision.
