For this reason, mark all foreign
objects (obstacles) which are hidden in the lawn and cannot
be removed before commencing work with the machine.
Beware of depressions (holes) in the terrain and oth-er

in long grass.
Use the machine with great care when working near slopes,
terraces, ditches and embankments. In par-ticular, ensure
that you maintain sufficient distance to such danger areas.
Particular care must be taken at points of poor visibil-ity,
bushes, trees and other obstacles, behind which persons,
especially children, or animals may be hid-den.

Always monitor the area in front of the vehicle. Be-ware of
obstacles, in order to be able to evade them in time.
Before reversing, always check the area behind the ride-on
mower and, if present, disengage the attach-ment. Never
mow in reverse, if it is not absolutely necessary. When
mowing in reverse, take particular care and before beginning
to mow, thoroughly check the entire area behind the ride-on
mower.
When working together in a group, always inform the others

distance!
The vehicle speed must be reduced before each change
