ter edges.
Do not transport any person on the device.

roads.
Vibrations
When the device is used over a longer period
of time, vibrations can cause disturbances in
the blood supply of the hands. A generally ac-
cepted usage time cannot be determined.

Mowing surfaces with fire hazard
– Carry a sufficient amount of suitable extin-
guishing agent.
– If side inclination is too great, fuel may leak
from the carburetor or the tank. This poses a
fire hazard!
– Observe the mowed surface also after mov-
ing is completed to ensure that no fire will
start.
To avoid risk of fire, keep the following com-
ponents free of dirt, grass, hay, leaking oil,
grease, etc:
– Engine
