User manual HUSQVARNA T250

[. . . ] Your cultivator was designed to meet the current European safety standards. For your own sake, we advise you not to alter the characteristics of your machine, and to use only the maker's recommended blades and accessories. Never let the cultivator be used by children, or by anyone unfamiliar with the instructions. [. . . ] Do not use the cultivator: - When there are people (especially children) or animals nearby, - If you have taken medicine or any other substance that may slow your reflexes or reduce your vigilance, - Without the mud-guard or protective covers, - On land with a greater than 10-degree (17%) slope. It is the user's responsibility to evaluate potential risk from the land to be tilled. You must take all necessary steps to guarantee your own safety, particularly if the land is sloping, uneven, slippery or unstable. Remember that the owner or user is responsible for accidents or risks to others or to their property. - Never take the petrol cap off or fill the fuel tank while the motor is running or is still hot. Take the cultivator away from the spilled fuel and avoid naked flames until the petrol has evaporated and the fumes have dispersed. - After using the machine, turn off the fuel switch and close the fuel tap. Take care when you start the motor; follow the instructions and keep your feet away from blades. If the petrol tank needs emptying, do this in the open air and with the motor cold. Never store it with petrol in the tank, in a place where petrol vapour might reach a flame, a spark or a source of strong heat. Ask two other people to help, lifting by holding on to the handlebars and the blade axles. Regular maintenance is important both for safety's sake and to sustain the machine's performance. When cultivating slopes, the user must ensure that there is nobody within a 20-yard radius. On very hard or stony ground the user must take very special care over controlling the machine, because it will tend to be much less stable than on cultivated ground. When putting the machine into the boot of a vehicle or into a trailer, you should wheel it up a ramp on its travelling wheel. However, we think it is better not to transport these machines in a trailer.
