to be tilted for transportation when
crossing surfaces other than grass,
and when transporting the machine
to and from the area to be used.

2.4 MAINTENANCE
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight
to be sure the machine is in safe
working condition.
• Check the grass collector frequently
for wear or deterioration.
• On machines with multi blade, take
care as rotating one blade can cause
other blades to rotate.

machine to prevent entrapment of
the fingers between moving blades
and fixed parts of the machine.
• Always allow the machine to cool
down before storing.
• When servicing the blades be aware
that, even though the power source
is switched off, the blades can still be
moved.
