SAFETY, OPERATORS, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS MANUA

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

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure that the instructions in this book are read

and fully understood.

No person should be allowed to operate this

machine unless they are fully acquainted with all

the controls and the safety procedures.

Never allow children or people unfamiliar with

these instructions to use this machine. Local

regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

SAFETY SIGNS

It is essential all safety labels are kept legible, if

they are missing or illegible they must be replaced.

If any part of the machine is replaced and it

originally carried a safety label, a new label must

be affixed to the replacement part. New safety

labels are obtainable from Ransomes dealers.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting the engine check that the drives

are in neutral, guards are in position and intact,

and bystanders are clear of the machine. Do not

run the engine in a building without adequate

ventilation.

DRIVING THE MACHINE

Before moving the machine, check to ensure that

all parts are in good working order, paying

particular attention to the security of cutting blades.

Replace faulty silencers. Mow only in daylight or

good artificial light.

Always observe the Highway Code both on and off

the roads. Keep alert and aware at all times.

Remember that some people are deaf or blind and

that children and animals can be unpredictable.

Watch out for traffic when crossing or near

roadways.

Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces

other than grass.

Remove or avoid obstructions in the area to be

cut, thus reducing the possibility of injury to

yourself and/or bystanders. When moving the

machine backwards, take special care to ensure

that the area behind is clear of obstructions and/or

bystanders.

After striking a foreign object, inspect the machine

for damage and make repairs before restarting and

operating the equipment. If the machine starts to

vibrate abnormally, check immediately.

DO NOT carry passengers.

Keep in mind that the operator or user is

responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to

other people or their property.

While mowing, always wear substantial footwear

and long trousers. Do not operate the equipment

when barefoot or wearing open sandals.

GB-7

RANSOMES MASTIFF 91

SAFETY, OPERATORS, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS MANUA

TRANSPORTING

Do not transport with cutting mechanism rotating.

Operate the machine with due consideration of

road and surface conditions, inclines and local

undulations.

LEAVING THE OPERATING POSITION

Park the machine on level ground. Before leaving

the operating position, stop the engine and make

sure all moving parts are stationary. Disengage all

drives. When the machine is to be parked, stored

or left unattended, lower the cutting units unless

the transport locks are being used.

SLOPES

TAKE EXTRA CARE WHEN WORKING ON

SLOPES

Local undulations and sinkage will change the

general slope. Avoid ground conditions which can

cause the machine to slide. Keep machine speeds

low on slopes and during tight turns.

Ratchet driven machines free-wheel on downhill

slopes. Remember there is no such thing as a

"safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes requires

particular care, to guard against overturning.

BLOCKED CUTTING CYLINDER

Stop the engine and make sure all moving parts

are stationary. Apply brakes and disengage all

drives.

Release blockages with care. Keep all parts of the

body away from the cutting edge. Beware of

energy in the drive which can cause rotation when

the blockage is released.

Keep other people away from the cutting unit.

ADJUSTMENTS, LUBRICATION AND

MAINTENANCE

Read all the appropriate servicing instructions. Use

only the replacement parts supplied by the original

manufacturer.

When adjusting the cutting cylinders take care not

to get hands and feet trapped when rotating

cylinder. Make sure that other people are not

touching the cutting unit.

To reduce the fire hazard, keep the engine,

silencer and battery free of grass, leaves or

excessive grease. Replace worn or damaged

parts for safety.

When working underneath lifted parts or machines,

make sure adequate support is provided.

Do not dismantle the machine without releasing or

restraining forces which can cause parts to move

suddenly.

Do not alter engine speed above maximum quoted

in Engine Specification. Operating the engine at

excessive speed may increase the hazard of

personal injury.

RANSOMES MASTIFF 91

SAFETY, OPERATORS, MAINTENANCE AND PARTS MANUA

When refuelling, STOP THE ENGINE, DO NOT

SMOKE. Refuel outdoors only. Add fuel before

starting the engine, never add fuel while the

engine is running. Use a funnel when pouring fuel

from a can into the tank. Do not spill fuel onto hot

components. If petrol is spilled, do not attempt to

start the engine but move the machine away from

the area of spillage and avoid creating any source

of ignition until petrol vapours have dissipated. If

the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be

done outdoors. DO NOT fill the fuel tank beyond

the bottom of the filler neck. Replace all fuel tank

and container caps securely. Store fuel in

containers specifically designed for this purpose.

When servicing batteries, DO NOT SMOKE, and

keep naked lights away. Do not place any metal

objects across the terminals. Allow the engine to

cool before storing in any enclosure. Never store

equipment with petrol in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
