POWER LAWNMOWER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your Protea Rotary Mower comes to you tested and ready to operate with engine and gearbox already filled

with oil.

Before operating the machine, thoroughly check the area to be cut and remove any object that may cause

damage to the machine.

1. Read Engine Instruction Book.

2. Ensure that gear lever is in neutral position.

3. Set blades to maximum cutting height.

4. Pull belt release lever towards handles to disengage cutter belt.

5. Set throttle lever to midway position.

6. Start engine according to instructions and allow time for warm up before engaging belt release lever,
