provided through their authorised network (Refer to "Engine Warranty Statement"). To qualify

for the full benefit of the warranty, the warranty registration card must be returned within 60 days

Training:

Read the instructions carefully. Ensure that you are familiar with the controls and the

proper use of the equipment. Learn how to stop the mower quickly in an emergency.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the mower.

Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

Keep in mind that the user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people

or their property.

Preparation:

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the

equipment when barefoot or wearing sandals.

Thoroughly inspect the area where the mower is to be used and remove all objects which may

be thrown by the machine.

WARNING: Petrol is highly flammable.

- Store fuel in containers specifically designed for this purpose.

- Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke while refuelling.

- Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the cap from the fuel tank or add petrol

while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool for at least 2

minutes before refuelling.

- Do not attempt to start the engine if petrol is spilled or a smell of petrol is present. Move

the mower away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until

petrol vapours have dissipated.

- Always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

THIS SYMBOL MEANS BE ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

WHEN YOU SEE THIS SYMBOL BE ALERT TO THE POSSIBILITY

OF INJURY. CAREFULLY READ THE MESSAGE THAT FOLLOWS

AND INFORM OTHERS. EXERCISE GREAT CARE AND FOLLOW

THE ADVICE GIVEN TO AVOID POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS

SITUATIONS.

The Harrier 48 is perfectly safe if used correctly. Failure to observe the

following simple precautions may result in serious injury.

- Replace fuel tank and container caps securely.

- Replace faulty exhaust mufflers.

Always ensure that the mower is in a safe operating condition. Frequently check all nuts,

bolts and screws for tightness. Use only genuine Hayter replacement parts.

A damaged cutterbar or loose fixing bolt are major hazards. Before use, visually inspect the

cutting mechanism to ensure that it is in good condition. A damaged cutterbar must be

replaced immediately with a genuine Hayter replacement part. A cutterbar which is slightly

worn can be re-sharpened. Ensure that both cutting edges are re-sharpened equally to main-

tain balance. An unbalanced cutterbar may cause serious damage to your machine.

Refer to “Maintenance”.

Operation:

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can

collect.

Always pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull the cord rapidly to avoid

kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.

Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

Avoid using the mower on wet grass, where feasible.

Always be sure of your footing on slopes.

Walk, never run.

Mow across the face of slopes, never up and down.

Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.

Do not mow excessively steep slopes.

Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the mower towards you.

Stop the engine if the mower has to be tilted for transportation when crossing surfaces other

than grass and when transporting the mower to and from the area to be mowed.

Never operate the mower unless the guards are securely in position and in good condition.

THE ENGINE IS SWITCHED OFF

Continued.

Maintenance and Storage:

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that the equipment is in safe operating

condition.

Frequently check fuel lines and fittings for cracks or leaks and replace if necessary.

Never check for a spark with the spark plug removed. (Use an approved tester).

Never crank the engine with the spark plug removed. If the engine is flooded, move the

throttle to the ‘fast’position and crank the engine until it starts.

Never strike the flywheel with a hammer or hard object as this may cause the flywheel to

shatter in operation. Always use the correct tools to service the engine.

Never operate the engine without a muffler guard. Inspect the muffler periodically and

replace if worn or leaking.

Never start the engine with the air-cleaner or air-cleaner cover removed.

Never store the mower with petrol in the tank within an enclosed area where fumes may reach

an open flame or spark.

Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine, muffler, cooling fins, battery compartment and

petrol storage area free of grass, leaves, or excessive grease.

Check the grassbag frequently for wear or deterioration.

Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.

If the fuel tank has to be drained, it is essential that this be done outdoors.
