towards you.
■ Stay Alert: Do not operate the mower when you are tired.
Pay attention to what you are doing.
■ Do not operate the mower while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
■ Stop the blade(s) if the machine has to be tilted for
transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the machine to and from areas to be
mowed.
■ Never operate the mower with defective guards or shields,
or without safety devices, for example deflectors and/or
grass collector, in place.

machine to the ground.
