• Never remove the rubber plates off the mower

Continuous mowing under these conditions
may result in overheating. This machine is
equipped with an overheat warning buzzer as
standard.
Even when the rubber plates are installed, clean
the areas around the hood and the transmission
at a minimum once every 5 hours.
