This manual should be regarded as part of the machine, as it gives essential
information regarding machine safety, operation, maintenance and specifications.
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE USING THE CONDOR MOWER, IT IS
ESSENTIAL THAT OPERATORS STUDY IT FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY.
THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN TO HELP PREVENT
ACCIDENTS. A CAREFUL OPERATOR WHO USES COMMON SENSE IS THE
SAFEST OPERATOR.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Training
Read the instructions carefully. Be 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. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasise:
The need for care and concentration when working with this machine.
Preparation
Check that the machine complies with all applicable regulations, including those in force when used on the
public highway.
While mowing, always wear substantial footwear and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment when
barefoot or wearing open sandals. Eye protection should be worn.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which can be thrown
by the machine.
Replace faulty silencers.
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.
Damaged cutterblades or loose fixing bolts are major hazards. Before use, always visually inspect the cutting
mechanism to ensure that there are in good condition. Damaged cutterblades must be replaced immediately
with genuine Hayter replacement parts. Unbalanced cutterblades may cause serious damage to your machine.
Refer to MAINTENANCE.
On attachment with twin cutterheads, take care as rotating one cutterblade will cause the other to rotate.

Preparation Continued
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 whilst the
engine is running or when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool for at least two 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 vapors have
dissipated.
- Always use fresh fuel. Stale fuel can block the carburettor and cause leakage.
- Replace fuel tank and oil tank caps securely.
Operation
Do not operate the engine in a confined space where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Mow only in daylight or in good artificial light.
Avoid using the mower on wet grass, where feasible.
Walk, never run.
Do not use on slopes of more than 20 degrees.
Always be sure of your footing on slopes and stay alert for humps, hollows and other hidden hazards.
Ground conditions may affect the ability of the operator to maintain safe footing. Particular conditions may
not permit safe operation on the slope limit stated.
Mow across the face of the 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.
Disengage the cutterhead drive 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 and all safety
devices are in place.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine. Operating an engine at excessive speed
may increase the hazard of personal injury.
Disengage the cutterhead and ground drive clutches before starting the engine.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.9 1.9
Operation Continued
Start the engine carefully, with feet well away from the cutting devices.
Do not tilt the mower when starting the engine.
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of discharge openings at all times.
Stop the engine, turn the ignition control to the ‘off’ position, set the parking brake and disconnect the spark
plug lead:
- Before clearing blockages or unclogging the discharge chute.
- Before cleaning/checking or working the mower.
- After striking a foreign object. Inspect the mower for damage and ensure necessary repairs are
made before re-starting.
- If the mower starts to vibrate abnormally (check immediately).
Stop the engine, turn the ignition control to the ‘off’ position, set the parking brake:
- Whenever you leave the mower.
- Before refuelling.
- Before making a height of cut adjustment.
Reduce throttle control setting during engine shutdown.
Turn off the fuel tap at the conclusion of mowing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Maintenance and Storage
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the engine, silencer, fuel tank and battery compartment free of grass, leaves or
excessive grease.
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
Ensure that all safety decals are properly secured and in good condition.
If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors.
Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and
fixed parts of the machine. On twin bladed cutterheads, take care as rotating one bottom plate will cause the
other to rotate.
Health & Safety
The Condor Mower has been designed and constructed so that, in so far as is reasonably practical,
they meet the safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, they will not endanger the
safety and health of those working with them. This is, however, subject to the machine being properly
used and maintained according to the conditions stated in this manual and elsewhere, which have been
found necessary as a result of the research and testing.
