be tilted unless it has to be raised for this purpose. In
this case only tilt it up as far as is really necessary and
only raise the side that is furthest away from the user.

mower starts to suffer unusual vibrations (check the
mower immediately).

the power supply if the mower strikes a foreign body.
Check the mower for signs of damage and carry out
the necessary repair work before you start work with
the mower again.

not be wet or very damp.

purposes, when you have to take it over surfaces
other than grass, and when moving the mower to and
from the area you wish to mow.
