10. Transporting the machine

• Only adults are permitted to move or transport the machine.

 During transport children, unauthorised people or animals must not be allowed within a 2 m 

radius of the machine. 

 Leave all operational levers unchanged when moving the machine.
 The lawn edger can be pushed forwards.
 Always transport your machine with its engine turned off.
 Avoid very rough terrain; the transport route is preferably flat, with an even surface.
 The engine does not need to be switched off for moving over short distances. The depth regula-

tion lever MUST be in its highest position so that the blade drive disengages. Always be aware 
that the blade will not stop immediately. Wait until the blade has come to a complete standstill 
before moving the machine.

 For longer distances, it is best to turn the engine off. In order to do so, put the blade in its high-

est position so that the blade is no longer driven.

 The danger zone remains in effect while the machine is being transported.
