► Always disable the robotic mower by pressing and holding 
the STOP button for 5 seconds before lifting or 
transporting.
► When carrying the robotic mower by hand, hold it by the 
front and the rear handles with the mowing blade pointing 
away from you. Never attempt to carry the robotic mower 
by its flap.
► When transporting the robotic mower in a vehicle, position 
and secure the robotic mower to prevent turnover, impact 
and damage. Fasten the machine using suitable fastening 
materials (straps, ropes) (see illustration above).
► Secure components being transported (e.g. docking 
station, small components) to prevent turnover, impact 
and damage.
