9.5 Operating the machine
Caution:
As long as the operation handle is engaged and the engine has not come to a
full stop after turning it off, the blades will continue to spin. Don’t perform any
maintenance activities before they have come to a halt.
Warning:
The mud flap and the belt protection cover offer protection against rotating
parts. It is therefore prohibited to reach behind these covers with any body parts
while the engine is running.
