Always clean the mower with engine off.
FURTHER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR ADVICE
Always wear protective gloves when handling the blades (during checking or cleaning
operations).
Regularly check that the grass collection device is in good condition.
Due to the risk of fire it is essential that both the engine and exhaust are
kept free of grass, leaves or any combustible material!
For safety reasons always replace used and or damaged parts immediately (by an
authorized dealer).

could come into contact with naked flames or sparks.
Before storing the mower in a closed room allow the engine to cool!
