Keep this machine maintained and in proper condition.

or locked, that there are no broken parts or other
conditions that may affect the operation of this
machine.
Whenever this machine is damaged, repair it before

machines.
Keep the machine handles dry and clean. Greasy or
oily handles are slippery and cause loss of control
over the machine.
After hitting any object inspect the mower for possible
damage. If the blade is bent, some casing is broken,
or if you see any other problems that may affect the
operation of the machine do the necessary repairs or
take your unit to the technical service.
Turn off the machine, disconnect the spark
plug and make sure that the cutting tool is
stopped before making any adjustments,
filling with fuel, changing accessories,
cleaning, transportation and storage of this machine.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
accidental starting of this machine.
If the machine starts to vibrate in a strange way, turn
it off and examine it to find the cause. If you cannot
discover the reason take the machine to the service
technician. The vibrations are always an indication of a
problem in the machine.
Stop the engine whenever you leave the machine
alone.
Reduce the rotation system of the motor when you
turn off the engine. If the engine is equipped with a
fuel valve, cut the fuel when the engine has stopped.
