mower.

dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

transportation when crossing surfaces other than grass, and
when transporting the lawn mower to and from the area to be
mowed.
• Never operate the lawn mower with defective guards, or
without safety devices, such as the stoneguard and/or
grass-catcher, supplied by the manufacturer in place. Replace
if damaged.
