and maintained.
This OPERATION MANUAL should be regarded as part of the machine and should always be
present at the machine and available to the operator. Suppliers of both new and second-hand machines
areadvisedto retaindocumentaryevidencethatthis manualwasprovided with the machine.
This machine is designed solely for use in customarygrass cutting operations. Use in any other wayis considered as
contrary to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service and repair
as specified by themanufacturer, also constitute essential element of the intendeduse.
Before attempting to operate this machine, ALL operators MUST go through a practical training in machine usage,
read through this manual and make themselves thoroughly conversant with Safety Instructions, controls, lubrication
and maintenance. The machine may be operated with additional accessories specifically designed for this purpose.
Operating and Safety Instructionsof such accessories mustbestrictly adheredto.
Accident prevention regulations, all other generallyrecognized regulations on safety and occupationalmedicine, and all
roadtrafficregulationsshallbeobservedatalltimes.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out on this machine as well as non-adherence to this
OPERATION MANUAL may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage or
injury.
In several places this Manual contains instructions for safe work. If the text includes such an instruction, then the
instructionismarkedbythefollowingWARNINGsymbol:

2.2 MACHINE USAGE
The machine is designed for the mowing of grass on level as well as extremely steep terrain. Any other
use is prohibited. The maximum slope on which the machine may be used depends on the type of area
to be mowed, on the current condition of the area and on the method of mowing:
DRY CONDITIONS:
On well-maintained lawns and gardens: Maximum slope is 24°
On unkempt and agricultural areas:
Cutting across a slope: Maximum slope is 30°
Cutting up and down a slope: Maximum slope is 35°
Cutting across a slope with mower positioned diagonally: Maximum slope is 40°
WET CONDITIONS:
For all areas and applications: Maximum slope is 20°
The Spider is a mulching mower designed for mowing of well-maintained, but also unkempt or only
occasionally mowed areas. The mower is operated by one person using radio control.
The mower may only be operated by authorized persons over 18 years of age both mentally and
physically fit, who are familiar with this Safety, Operator’s and Maintenance Manual and all applicable
regulations and laws pertaining to work health and safety that need to be observed while operating
themulchingmowerSpider.

2.3 PROHIBITED USE
The mower may not be used for other purpose than for which it was designed and which is
described in chapter 2.2.
The mower may not be used on surfaces littered by glass, loose stones, pieces of iron and other
foreign objects that can either be thrown by the blades during mowing or damage the mower.
The mower maynot be used on slopes exceeding 20 degrees when wet or foggyas the climbing ability
and mower stabilityare adversely influenced by poor ground adhesion, regardless of the type of area to
be mowed.
The mower maynot be usedwhere other people, children or animals can befound within 20 m (65 ft.)
from themower/mowed area.
Never use the mower unless you are properly acquainted with the terrain and mainly with the
occurrence of undesired terrain irregularities, stumps, swamps, pits, unstable and poor load
bearing soil etc.
The mower maynot be used on slopes with incline exceeding thevalues stated in chapter 2.2.
The mower maynot be used as a towing/transporting device or as means of transporting persons.
It is prohibited to drive the mower on public thoroughfares.
It is prohibited toincrease the engine revolutions or the engine performance above the limits specified by
the manufacturer. It is also prohibited tomake any other modifications to the machine construction or to
the engine setup. The manufacturer does not bear anyliability for damage or injury resulting from such
modifications.
It is prohibited to use the mower under the influence of alcohol or drugs
It is prohibited to drive the mower into heaps of sand,gravel or similar material, on stumps,rocks,
construction elements or any otherobstacle, which may compromise the stabilityof themachine
It is prohibited to use themachine underlow visibility (dusk, fog, heavy rain etc.)

2.5 GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL
OF SCRAP PRODUCTS
When it has been identified that a turf care product
has no further functional value and requires
disposal, the following actions should be taken.
These guidelines should be used in conjunction with
Health, Safety and Environmental legislation and use
of approved local facilities for waste disposal and
recycling.
•Position the machine in a suitable
location for any necessary lifting
equipment to be used.
•Use appropriate tools and Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) and take
guidance from the technical manuals
applicable to the machine.
•Remove andstore appropriately:
1. Batteries
2. Fuel Residue
3. Oils
Disassemble the structure of the machine referring
to the technical manuals where appropriate. Special
attention should be made for dealing with “stored
energy” within pressurized elements of the machine
or tensioned springs.
Any items that still have a useful service life as
second hand components or can be re-serviced
should be separated and returned to the relevant
centre.
Other worn out items should be separated into
material groups for recycling and disposal
consistent with available facilities. More
common separation types are as follows:
•Steel
Nonferrousmetals
•Aluminium
Brass
•Copper
•Plastics
•Identifiable
• Recyclable
• Nonrecyclable
•Nonidentified
•Rubber
•Electricaland electronic components
•Items that cannot be separated
economically into different material groups
should be added to the “General waste”
area.
•Do not incarnate waste.
Finally update machinery records to indicate that the
machine has beentaken out of serviceandscrapped.

Operating Environment
The machine should only be used bypersons
over 18 years of age, who have been
acquainted with the machine and the user’s
manual.Theremotecontrol(further referredto
as ”RC”) is considered a part of the machine
The user’s manual must be stored in a place
permanentlyaccessible to the operator and
must be available to him at all times.
Do not allowchildren or unauthorised persons
use the product.
Beforestarting 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.

sources of heat.
While operating or immediately after shutting
the machine off do not touchthose parts of the
machine that heat up during operation. This
concerns mainlythe engineexhaust pipe, metal
parts of the hydraulic drive and metal parts of
the internal combustionengine.
While operating do not touch the highvoltage
conductor leading to the sparking plug.
After startingthe engine, test the correct
functioning of the emergency engine stop on
the radio transmitter. This function should be
checked at leastonce during everyshift and
everytime you enter a new area for mowing or
mulching.
Beforestarting your work test the correct
functioning of the safetycomponents
(EMERGENCY STOP...) on the mower and the
RC.
Never leave the enginerunning without
