21. The tractor mower can cause serious injuries due to its dead weight. Take
particular care when loading and unloading the ride-on mower to transport it on
a vehicle or trailer. Use full width ramps for loading and unloading a machine for
transport.
22. This tractor mower is not allowed to be towed. Use a suitable vehicle for
transportation on public roads
23. Do not operate the tractor mower in poorly ventilated working areas (e.g. a
garage). The exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide as well as
other harmful substances. Only operate the engine in well-ventilated areas.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison.
24. Do not change or manipulate any fixed settings for engine speed regulation.
25. Do not operate the machine without the entire grass catcher, discharge chute, or
other safety devices in place and functioning properly. Check frequently for signs
of wear or deterioration and replace as needed.

machine while in operation. Avoid discharging material against a wall or
obstruction. Material may ricochet back toward the operator. Stop the blade(s)
when crossing gravel surfaces.
27. Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing impairment. So
always use approved hearing protection and reduce working hours.
28. To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation,
use low-vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal
protective equipment.
29. Take the following points into account to minimize the vibration and noise
exposure risks:
▪ Only use the machine as intended by its design and these instructions. Ensure
that the machine is in good condition and well maintained.
▪ Use correct accessories for the machine and ensure they are in good condition.
▪ Keep tight grip on the steering wheel.
▪ Maintain this machine in accordance with these instructions and keep it well
lubricated (where appropriate).
▪ Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a longer
period of time.
