1.5. GUIDELINES FOR THE DISPOSAL OF SCRAP PRODUCTS

When it has been identified that a turf care product has no further functional value and requires disposal,

the following actions should be taken.

These guidelines should be used in conjunction with Health, Safety and Environmental legislation 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 Protective Equipment (PPE) and take guidance from the technical

manuals applicable to the machine.

•Remove and store appropriately:

1. Batteries

2. Fuel Residue

3. Oils

Disassemble the structure of the machine referring to the technicalmanuals where appropriate. Special attention

should be made for dealing with “stored energy” within pressurized elements of the machine or tensioned springs.

Anyitems 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 disposal consistent with

available facilities. More common separation types are as follows:

•Steel

Non ferrous metals

•Aluminium

•Brass

•Copper

•Plastics

•Identifiable

• Recyclable

• Non recyclable

•Non identified

• Rubber

• Electrical and electronic components

Items that cannot be separated economically into different material groups should be added to the “General

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This safety symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see this

symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury, carefully read the message that follows, and inform

other operators.

Safety Instructions

Do not enter or reach under the machine if it is lifted and not sufficiently supported. The machine should

be supported on places marked by the symbol of a chain.

The mower should only be transported in a container or on a trailer.

Check bolt torques at regular intervals. The first check should be done after 8 operating hours. Pay

attention to the attachment of the cutting blade and the proper bolt torque. Use a torque wrench and a

specified torque of 60Nm.

The blade hub bolts and the blade bolts must not show any signs of damage or wear. The bolts must be

complete. The blade must be undamaged, evenly worn and adequately sharp. The bolts should be

tightened with a torque of 60Nm.

If you are driving the mower outside the working area with disengaged blades, always set the maximum

height of cut otherwise the blade may get damaged.

Keep the product clean after use. Do not use gasoline or similar oil products for cleaning.

Do not reach with your hands or feet inside the mower, under the mowing deck, under the engine

covers or into the transmission system.

If you are forced to reach under the machine, wait until all rotating parts (including the engine) stop.

Attention, it takes some time before blade runs down! The run-down time depends on the state and

wear of the brake/clutch. Have the brake checked at regular intervals at an authorised servicing facility.

While operating, wear closed shoes and work clothing. Do not wear loose clothes that could get caught

by the machine, short trousers or light shoes.

A local risk assessment should determine the need for a face shield.

Do not operate the machine after drinking alcohol or using medication influencing perception.

Before starting the engine make sure that the mower blade is engaged (for mowing operation) or

disengaged (for transport). The blade may be dis-/engaged and height of cut adjusted only if the engine

is shut off. When starting the engine always step aside far enough to be protected against object

accidentally thrown from the mower and to be able to stop the mower in case of an emergency. Do not

enter the path of the mower.

While operating the mower make sure that the mower is clearly visible at all times and within the range

of the remote control unit and that you can clearly recognize dangerous situations and react to them

properly. Do not abuse the maximum reach of the remote control.

When using the mower, follow all general work safety regulations.

Work with the mower may only be started if the mower is not damaged by previous operation.

Do not change the engine tuning, especially the engine speed regulator. Do not modify the exhaust

pipe.

Do not use the mower if there is less than 30% of fuel in the fuel tank.

Do not move the mower by means of towing it behind another machine.

Operating Environment

The machine should only be used by persons over 18 years of age, who have been acquainted with the

machine and the user’s manual .The remote control (further referred to as ”RC”) is considered a part of

the machine

The user’s manual must be stored in a place permanently accessible to the operator and must be

available to him at all times.

Do not allow children or unauthorised persons use the product.

Before starting to operate the machine, you have to be familiar with all the symbols next to the controls

and indicators used on the mower and the RC.

Pay special attention to the stopping and shutting-off of the engine and to the emergency shutting-off of

Operation manual –Spider MINI

the mower.

Before using the mower on a slope, make sure you test and practice your mower-control skills on flat

and level ground, which is sufficiently free and spacious. Master how to control the movement on a

surface, to mow around bushes, trees and other terrain elements and obstacles.

If you stop the mower on a slope, position the wheels across the slope and secure it against

undesirable movement by the means of the emergency brake.

While operating or transporting the mower, the operator must always have the mower in their view. The

maximum distance between the operator and the mower is 50 m /165 ft.

While using the mower follow all safety regulations given in this manual and respect local regulations

and provisions concerning noise-emissions, especially when using in hospitals, spas and other sensitive

areas.

The operator must pay attention to the area into which the mulched grass may be blown. Neither the

operator, nor any other persons, children nor animals should be allowed to enter this area. If mowing

uneven terrain the ejection and throwing of undesirable objects becomes more probable due to the

displacement of the mowing device (tilt of one side of the machine) while crossing the edges of different

terrain.

The operator of the machine may be responsible for any damage caused to third parties by operating

the machine.

The mower may be used on dry surface on slopes listed in chapter 1.2.

Before operating the machine, make sure you remove from the mowing area all loose stones, sticks,

glass, wire, bones, branches and all other objects that can be picked up by the blades and thrown or

that could damage the mower.

While operating the mower avoid obstacles, do not drive over higher obstacles (such as stones, stumps,

brick), near precipices, on unstable soil or in places where the mower could fall down or flip over.

When operating pay attention to electric power lines especially when driving beneath electric wires

where the radio signal may be lost. In such case the mower immediately shuts off the internal

combustion engine and stops all movements.

When using the machine near busy thoroughfares make sure that the mower does not endanger (by

throwing undesirable objects) passers-by or their property. Choose a suitable working procedure (see

chapter: Operating the mower).

The operator/user is responsible for the safety of persons that enter the working area of the machine.

Stop your work if these persons enter the working area.

The transportation of persons, animals or loads on the mower is prohibited.

Do not place any objects or tools on the product.

While operating, especially in windy conditions, choose the operator’s position carefully so as to keep

the operator away from the stream of exhaust gas, dust or mulched grass.

Stop work and clean the machine and its cooling surfaces several times while working in dusty

conditions to avoid over-heating during operation. If necessary, clean the machine and its cooling

surfaces several times while working. The dust layer must not exceed 1 mm.

Refuel only when the machine is off –before operating, if possible –and the fuel tank is cold. Always

keep at least 30% of the fuel in the tank. If you need to refuel during your work, do not fill the fuel into a

hot tank or while the engine is still hot. Let the machine cool down.

Do not overfill the fuel tank.

Never refuel while the engine is running.

Before refuelling push the STOP button on the control panel of the mower.

Do not start the engine if you find spilled fuel, open vessels with fuel or other combustible objects or

gases in the immediate proximity of the mower.

Do not refuel near open fire.

Do not place this product near open fire or other sources of heat.

While operating or immediately after shutting the machine off do not touch those parts of the machine

that heat up during operation. This concerns mainly the engine exhaust pipe, metal parts of the

hydraulic drive and metal parts of the internal combustion engine.

While operating do not touch the high voltage conductor leading to the sparking plug.
