INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT

The lawnmower must always be used with utmost caution. So that

safety precautions and operating instructions are always readily on hand,

labels have been affixed to the machine showing pictographs illustrating

the main operating precautions

Because these labels, according to applicable safety standards, are

considered an integral part of the machine, the user is therefore

responsible for replacing them in the event of their becoming detached or

illegible.

For any replacement, contact your dealer.
