USER MANUAL FOR THE REDDIFAST GROUND CLEARER
INTRODUCTION
The Reddifast Ground Clearer is a unique, British designed and manufactured
machine with a 6hp Briggs & Stratton engine. It has been designed for the
very specific function of clearing overgrown land. It is of robust construction
and very fit for purpose.
The machine is certified with the
Declaration of Conformity.
PLEASE READ THIS LEAFLET BEFORE USING THE MACHINE AND RETAIN
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
USER INSTRUCTIONS - SAFETY
The machine weighs approximately 38 kg.
If necessary, obtain assistance to remove from packaging.
Take care when lifting the machine.
It is recommended that the
operator wears heavy shoes,
gloves and safety glasses at all
times when using the machine.
CAUTION!
DO NOT PUT HANDS OR FEET IN THE PROXIMITY OF THE
CUTTING BLADE WHEN OPERATING THE MACHINE.
During operation the machine may displace small stones which can be
discharged at high velocity under the guard. People and animals should
NOT be in close proximity to the machine while in use.
Always check BEFORE USE that the blade is NOT in contact with the guard
and that the cutting blade has free clearance.
Before starting the machine make sure you have unleaded petrol in the fuel
tank and that there is oil in the sump - do not over fill.
NEVER remove the rubber safety curtain at the back of the machine.
To immediately stop the machine while in use release the safety handle.
STARTING THE MACHINE
Switch on the fuel tap.
Hold up the black handle to the chrome handle - this releases the brake on
the engine and allows the blade to turn.
Pull the starter cord.
If engine fails to start repeat the process.
FAULT FINDING DIAGNOSTIC
If the machine does not start you may have flooded the spark plug. Remove
the plug and dry off.
If the Ground Clearer suffers loss of power, stop the machine. Remove the air
filter and clean it. Refit the filter and restart the machine.
AFTER USE / STORAGE
Clean the exterior of the machine with warm, soapy water using a soft brush
or cloth. It is good practice to wash off with a hose pipe, especially to remove
the build up of grass around the blade housing and the underside of the
engine. TAKE CARE WHEN CLEANING AROUND THE BLADE AREA.
Store the Ground Clearer in a dry place. To assist storage the handle will fold
down flat when the handle wing nuts are loosened.
