2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT: This is a precision machine and the service obtained from it depends on the way it is operated

and maintained.

This SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL should be regarded as part of the machine. Suppliers of both new

and second-hand machines are advised to retain documentary evidence that this manual was provided with the

machine.

This machine is designed solely for use in customary grass cutting operations. Use in any other way is consid-

ered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, ser-

vice and repair as specified by the manufacturer, also constitute essential elements of the intended use.

Before attempting to operate this machine, ALL operators MUST read through this manual and make them-

selves thoroughly conversant with Safety Instructions, controls, lubrication and maintenance.

Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognized regulations on safety and occupational medi-

cine, and all road traffic regulations shall be observed at all times.

Any arbitrary modifications carried out on this machine may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting

damage or injury.

It is important that during the life of the machine wearing and replaceable parts are disposed of in an environ-

mentally responsible way using the resources available in the country where it is used. There are guidelines in

this manual for the eventual decommissioning of the mower once it has no further use. Hardware provided.

2 INTRODUCTION

2.3 GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL OF

SCRAP PRODUCTS

2.3.1 DURING SERVICE LIFE

Used oil, oil filters and engine coolant are hazard-

ous materials and should be handled in a safe and

environmentally responsible way.

In the event of a fluid leak, contain the spill to pre-

vent it entering the ground or drainage system. Lo-

cal legislation will dictate how such spills are to

treated.

Following the maintenance procedures laid out in

this manual will ensure that the impact the machine

has on the local environment is controlled.

When it has been identified that a turf care product

has no further functional value and requires dispos-

al, the following actions should be taken.

2.3.2 END OF SERVICE LIFE

These guidelines should be used in conjunction with

applicable Health, Safety and Environmental legis-

lation 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 Pro-

tective Equipment (PPE) and take guid-

ance from the technical manuals

applicable to the machine.

• Remove and store appropriately:

1. Batteries

2. Fuel residue

3. Engine coolant

4. 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

pressurised 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 dis-

posal consistent with available facilities.

More common separation types are as fol-

lows:

• Steel

• Non ferrous metals

• Aluminium

• Brass

• Copper

•Plastics

•Identifiable

• Recyclable

• Non recyclable

• Not identified

• Rubber

• Electrical & Electronic Components

• Items that cannot be separated economi-

cally into different material groups should

be added to the ‘General waste’ area.

• Do not incinerate waste.

Finally update machinery records to indicate that

the machine has been taken out of service and

scrapped. Provide this serial number to Jacobsen

Warranty department to close off relevant records.
