User manual PARTNER P531PD

[. . . ] â· Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the lawnmower. â· Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. â· Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. â· Stop the blade if the lawnmower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and when transporting the lawnmower to and from the area to be mowed. [. . . ] â· Reduce the throttle setting during engine shut down and, if the engine is provided with a shut-off valve, turn the fuel off at the conclusion of mowing. â· Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add petrol while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. - If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until petrol vapors have dissipated. Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect. â· For wheeled rotary machines, mow across the face of slopes, never up and down. Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the lawnmower towards you. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition. â· Never store the equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. â· Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure. â· To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, silencer, battery compartment and petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease. These symbols may appear on your machine or in the literature supplied with the product. Put grass catcher frame into grass bag with stiff part of bag on the bottom. The grass catcher is secured to the lawn mower housing when the rear door is lowered onto the grass catcher frame. You will prolong the life of both battery and starter if you ensure that the starter is not engaged for more than 5 seconds at a time followed by a pause of 10 seconds before you make a fresh attempt to start the machine. This step is not usually necessary when starting an engine which has already run for a few minutes. [. . . ] Before mowing, objects such as twigs, toys and stones should be removed from the lawn. Never cut more than 1/3 of the length of the grass, especially during dry periods. Always remove the spark plug lead before repair, cleaning or maintenance work. The spark plug must be at the highest point on the mower when it is tilted up. [. . . ]
