User manual HUSQVARNA 240 E TRIOBRAKE

[. . . ] Before using, always visually inspect to see that the blades, blade bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or damaged. replace worn or damaged blades and bolts in sets to preserve balance. 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. [. . . ] Always be sure of your footing on slopes. 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. ⷠ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. Never operate the lawnmower with defective guards, or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or grass catchers, in place. Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating the engine at excessive speed may increase the hazard of personal injury. disengage all blade and drive clutches before starting the engine. Start the engine or switch on the motor carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade. Do not tilt the lawnmower when starting the engine or switching on the motor, except if the lawnmower has to be tilted for starting. In this case, do not tilt more than absolutely necessary and lift only the part which is away from the operator. Do not fill with petrol while the engine is running. ⷠTo start a cold engine, push primer (3) times before trying to start. This step is not usually necessary when starting an engine which has already run for a few minutes. ⷠHold engine brake yoke to the handle and pull on starter handle quickly. To "STOP" engine, release engine brake yoke. NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps. In warmer weather over priming may cause flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood the engine wait a few minutes before attempting to start and DO NOT repeat priming steps. The mower should not be used on ground that slopes more than 15°. This could cause engine lubrication problems. 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. Mow with a high cutting height setting the first time. examine the result and lower the mower to the desired setting. Mow slowly or mow the grass twice if it is very long. [. . . ]
