6.4 WORKING
IMPORTANT When working, always keep a safe distance
from the cutting means, given by the length of the handle.
Battery power reserve (and therefore the movable lawn
surface before recharging is required) depends on many
factors described in (par. 7.1).
IMPORTANT If the motor stops while mowing due to
overheating, you must wait approximately 5 minutes before
restarting it.

To stop the machine:
• release the operator presence lever (Fig 4.A)
• wait until the cutting means stops.
When you have stopped the machine, it will take a
few seconds for the cutting means to stop.
IMPORTANT Always stop the machine.
• When moving between work areas.
• When driving on grass free surfaces.
• Every time it is necessary to overcome an obstacle.
