Never transport the lawnmower while its engine is running.
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug in the following cases:
- when performing any task whatsoever under the mowing deck or in the rear grass ejection chute.
- when performing maintenance, repairs or inspecting the machine.
- before carrying, lifting or transporting the lawnmower.
- when you leave the lawnmower without supervision or you are getting ready to adjust the mowing height.
- before removing and emptying the grass catcher.
- when an impact with a foreign object occurs, stop the engine and carefully inspect to ensure that there is
no damage. In the event of damage, take the lawnmower to a specialised service centre for repairs.
ATTENTION: The mowing blade continues to rotate for several seconds after the engine is turned off.
- if the lawnmower is vibrating abnormally (immediately identify and remedy the cause of the vibration).
- For the purpose of ensuring safe operation, regularly check that the pins, bolts and nuts on the
lawnmower are securely tightened.
ATTENTION: FUEL IS A VERY FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
Store fuel in a suitable container.
Only add fuel in an open and well ventilated location. When handling fuel, do not smoke or use a mobile
phone.

running.
If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine. Take the lawnmower away from the location where the fuel was
spilled and take care to avoid possible ignition. Continue with work only after the spilled fuel has evaporated
and the fuel fumes have dissipated;
After adding fuel, securely tighten the fuel tank cap and the cap on the fuel canister.
ATTENTION:
Before carrying out maintenance or repairs, stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug.
9. MAINTENANCE
LAWN CARE
Various forms of care are required depending on the type of grass area.
Therefore, always read the instructions included on seed packages with respect to the mowing height for the
growing conditions in the given locality.
It is necessary to always keep in mind that the larger part of grass consists of a stem and one or more leaves.
When the leaves are cut off completely, the lawn is damaged and the renewal of growth will be much more
difficult.
The following instructions generally apply:
– excessively low mowing causes disruption to the roots and subsequently "spotty" appearance;
– in summer, mowing must be higher to prevent the soil from drying out;
