Danger
Risk of injury
No person, especially children,
and/or animals should be allowed
to stand close to the mower while it
is in use.
They could be injured by stones or
similar objects that might be thrown
out. Children must never be allo
wed to operate the mower.
Be particularly careful when
mowing in reverse gear (mowers
with OCR switch).
There must be nobody in the wor
king area of the unit.
Never empty the grass catcher
attachment while the cutter deck is
running. While emptying the grass
catcher attachment, you or other
persons may be injured by ejected
clippings.
Take extra care with opening and
closing the grass catcher; there is a
risk of crushing.
When mowing on steep slopes,
there is a risk of the mower tipping
over and you could be injured as a
result.
Do not drive across the face of
a slope, but only straight up and
down. The mower should not be
driven on slopes with a maximum
incline greater than 20%. Do not
turn the mower round while you are
still on the slope.
