mowing knife drive clutch and travel wheel drive clutch being switched off! Components
of the machine drive (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might be damaged!
Prior to each employment of the machine
, check its parts (working mechanism or its
casing in particular) for possible damage or loosening. Possible defects must be rectified
without delay. Repairs are to be made only with original spare parts.
Before using the machine, the stand must be cleared of solid bodies such as stones, wires,
