WARRANTY

Hayter Limited warrants to the original user/purchaser that this unit shall be free from defects

in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of three years from the

date of purchase. The manufacturer of major proprietry components ie. engines, gearbox /

transaxle (where applicable) furnish their own warranty and services are provided through their

authorised network. To qualify for the full benefit of the warranty, the warranty registration card

must be returned within 14 days of purchase. Subject to the conditions and exclusions noted in

this limited warranty, we shall at our option, repair or replace any warranted part during the

applicable period. If you are in doubt or experience any difficulty, please consult a Hayter

ticular attention to the safety precautions. 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

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

leakage.

- Replace fuel tank and oil tank caps securely.

in good condition. A damaged cutterblade must be replaced immedi-

ately with a genuine Hayter replacement part

Do not operate the engine in a confined space where exhaust fumes

(carbon monoxide) can collect. Refuel outdoors only and do not smoke

while refuelling.

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 of more than 20 degrees.

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

Stop the engine before moving the mower across areas other than grass.

Never operate the mower unless the guards are securely in position and

in good condition.

Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.

Disengage the rear roller drive clutch before starting the engine.

Start the engine carefully, with feet well away from the cutterblade.
