WARNING!
The machine must be disposed of properly, because of the presence of toxic-harmful materials (oils,
batteries, plastics, etc.), which are subject to standards that require disposal in special centres (see
Scrapping chapter).
If the machine is used according to the instructions, the vibrations are not dangerous. Vibration level at the
operator’s body is 0.38 m/s

While the engine is running the silencer heats up. Do not touch the silencer to avoid serious scalding or
fi re.
Do not run the engine if the oil level is low, to avoid damaging it seriously. Check the oil level with the
engine off and the machine on a level surface.

The engine coolant lines are under pressure. Perform any check when the engine is off and after having
allowed it to cool down. Even when the engine is cool, pay careful attention when opening the radiator cap.
The engine is equipped with a fan; do not stand near the engine when it is hot, because the fan can start
operating even if the machine is off.
