accessories not approved by the manufacturer
can represent a significant safety risk.

qualified technician or service centre.
¾ Do not carry passengers on the device. The
device is not approved for passenger transport.
¾ This device is designed for looking after
grass and lawns in a domestic environment.
The device must not be used for purposes other

injury to the user or other persons.
¾ Only use the device in daylight or under
bright artificial light. Keep your work area clean
and well illuminated.

punctually to keep the device in a safe
operating condition.
¾ The exhaust and engine get hot and can
cause burns. Do not touch!

engine, the battery and the fuel tank free of
grass and discharging oil.
