ODUCTION

Dear Customer

Thank y

ou for choosing a McCulloch Fronmower. McCulloch Front Mower are built to a unique design with a front-mounted cutting

unit. The machine is built to give maximum efﬁciency even in small and conﬁned areas.

This operator’s manual is a valuable document. By following its instructions (on operation, service, maintenance, etc.) you will

signiﬁcantly extend the life of the machine and even its second-hand value.

English

SAFETY INSTR

UCTIONS

•

Never allow children or other persons not trained in the

use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may

regulate the age of the user.

• Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing

impairment.

• Never wear loose-ﬁtting clothing, jewellery or similar that

can get caught in moving parts.

• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear

protective shoes or protective boots, preferably with steel

toes.

• Make sure that you have ﬁrst aid equipment close at hand

when using the machine.

Driving on slopes

iving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of

the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is

the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All

slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or

if you feel unsure, do not mow it.

This is what y

ou do

•

Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.

• Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.

• Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than

• Take extra care if any attachments are ﬁtted that can

change the stability of the machine.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres start to

slip, stop the blades and drive slowly down the slope.

• Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes.

• Do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, if necessary, turn

slowly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly.

Do not turn the wheel sharply.

•

McCulloch M125-85F:

Select a low gear so that you will

not need to stop to change gear. The machine engine-

brakes even better in low gear.

• Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and

bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven

ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

ARNING! You must use approved personal

protective equipment whenever you use the

machine. Personal protective equipment

cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will

reduce the degree of injury if an accident

does happen. Ask your dealer for help in

choosing the right equipment.

IMPOR

TANT!

Do not drive down slopes with the cutting deck raised.

SAFETY INSTR

UCTIONS

•

Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The

machine can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over

the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives

way.

• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose

their grip so that the machine skids.

• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on

the ground.

• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be

driven near verges or ditches.

• When mowing, keep away from bushes and other objects.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding

wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase

machine stability.

Children

•Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard

for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are

often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never

assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

• Keep children away from the area to be mowed and under

close supervision by another adult.

• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter

the work area.

• Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you

and down for small children.

• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and

seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe

maneuvering of the machine.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or

other objects that block your view.

Maintenance

• Stop the engine. Prevent the engine from starting by

removing the ignition key before making any adjustments

or performing maintenance.

• Never ﬁll the fuel tank indoors.

• Fuel and fuel vapour are poisonous and highly ﬂammable.

Be especially careful when handling petrol and engine oil,

as carelessness can result in personal injury or ﬁre.

• Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose.

• Never remove the fuel cap and ﬁll the fuel tank when the

engine is running.

• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke.

Do not ﬁll with fuel in the vicinity of sparks or naked

ﬂames.

• Handle oil, oil ﬁlters, fuel and the battery carefully, of

environmental considerations. Follow the local recycling

requirements.

• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables

when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition

system with your ﬁngers.

• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be

started until the problem has been resolved.

• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no

risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage.

• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for

the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and

the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and

overﬂow.

• Avoid overﬁlling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up

the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the

engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing.

• Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions

in the engine compartment.

IMPORTANT!

Wheel weights ﬁtted on the rear wheels are recommended

when driving on slopes for safer steering and improved

manoeuvrability. Consult your dealer concerning the use of

wheel weights if you are unsure. Wheel weights can not be

used on AWD-machines. Use counterweights.

WARNING! The engine and the exhaust

system become very hot during operation.

Risk of burn injuries if touched. When

mowing, keep away from bushes and other

materials in order to avoid a heating effect.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases

form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the

battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open ﬂames or

sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause

serious injuries.

• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and

that the equipment is in good condition.

• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be

sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven if

protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or

other protective devices are not ﬁtted or are defective.

• Observe the risk of injury caused by moving or hot parts if

the engine is started with the engine cover open or

protective cowlings removed.

• Do not change the setting of governors. If you run too fast,

you risk damaging the machine components. See chapter

on Technical data for highest permitted engine speed.

• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking

proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes contain carbon

monoxide, an odourless, poisonous and highly dangerous

gas.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into

anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.

• Never make adjustments with the engine running.

• The machine is tested and approved only with the

equipment originally provided or recommended by the

manufacturer.

• The blades are sharp and can cause cuts. Wrap the

blades or wear protective gloves when handling them.

• Check regularly that the parking brake works. Adjust and

maintain as required.

• Reduce the risk of ﬁre by removing grass, leaves and

other debris that may have fastened on the machine.

Allow the machine to cool before putting it in storage.

Transport

• The machine is heavy and can cause serious crush

injuries. Take extra care when loading it onto or off a

vehicle or trailer.

• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine.

• To secure the machine on the trailer, two approved

tension belts and four wedge shaped wheel blocks should

be used.

Engage the parking brake and tie the tension belts around

stable parts on the machine, e.g. frame or rear wagon.

Secure the machine by tensioning the belts towards the

back and the front of the trailer respectively.

Place the wheel blocks in front of and behind the rear

wheels.
