Please comply with statutory regulations, which may
vary from location to location.
Make sure that you are familiar with the controls and
operation of the machine. In particular, the user must
know how the work tools and engine can be stopped
quickly.
The machine must only be used by persons who have
read the instruction manual and are familiar with operation
of the machine. The user should seek expert
and practical instruction prior to initial operation. The
user must receive instruction on safe use of the machine

aware
• that the utmost care and concentration are required
for working with the machine.
• that a ride-on mower which is sliding down a slope
cannot be brought under control by applying the
brake.
The main causes for the loss of control over the rideon
mower include:
• inadequate adhesion of the wheels,
• driving too fast,
• inappropriate braking,
• incorrect use (sport events, etc.), inadequate knowledge of the effects
associated with ground conditions, especially on slopes (see
section „For your safety“, „Working on slopes“),
• incorrect attachment of loads and poor load distribution.
Check the fuel system (particularly visible parts such
as e.g. tank, tank cap, hose connections) before
operating the machine. In the event of any leaks or
damage, do not start the engine – r hazard! Have
