Safety instructions / Before starting operation
Even the most important safety instructions that
are included in this manual do not cover all
possible risks. Common sense and caution are
factors to be expected from the user of the motor
mower – since they cannot be expected to stem
from the motor mower itself.
To minimize the risks of accident please take the
following items into consideration:
• Read the operation manual first before starting
to operate the mower and make sure you feel
comfortable with the functioning of the operating
elements. (see page 5)
• Choose a free and plane ground for first time
utilization of the Brielmaier motor mower.
• Since you are responsible for third person safety
within the mower’s operating range, ensure that
all safety conditions for the protection of human
beings and animals are met.
• Make sure to wear tight clothing to minimize
the risk of accidents (wide garment may get
caught by the mower).
• Ensure to wear solid shoes with sufficiently
strong profile. Humidity and rain may increase
the risk of slipping and skidding – therefore, be
careful when mowing hilly terrain and steep
areas and make sure, you work on a dry ground
featuring good grip only.
• The Brielmaier motor mower is to be used
exclusively as a mower and/or is designed for
operation with Brielmaier additional equipment
only. Any given misappropriation can cause
danger for the operator or further third party.
caution
• Remove the knife guard before starting the
mower and after finishing mowing stop the
mower first and then attach the knife guard
again. Pay attention to attach the knife guard
securely in particular when the mower will not
be operated for a prolonged period (hall, garage
etc.).
• Never step before the operating mower and
protect other persons from doing so.
• Never remove protection equipment such as
the deadman switch (Overview, lever 2, page
3), the exhaust pipe burning guard or other
sheet metal guards. Should these devices be
damaged stop the mower immediately and
ensure adequate repair.
• All operating elements should be inserted
properly, easy going and well functioning.
• Fill up the Brielmaier motor mower with
unleaded normal gas only.
• Before filling up the tank stop the engine -
ensure to fill up when the engine is cold, so to
avoid gas dropping onto the hot engine and
catching fire. Use a suitable funnel for filling
up. EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Note: Do not stock unleaded gas longer than
3 months because it looses its flammability and
sediments might occur.
• Do not run engine inside rooms because of
suffocation danger due to carbon monoxide
ejection.
• Do not work with open fire.
Check whether
• there is enough engine and hydraulic oil
• the tank is full
• cutters are sharp
• rocker arm mounting, joint bolts and knife guide
arms are greased in the area of „mushrooms“
on knife blades
As the noise level of the 4-stroke engine exceeds
90 dB(A) at full speed, please wear ear protection
according to instructions.
Additionally to this manual, follow generally
applicable safety instructions for accident
prevention.
