meet all your expectations.
This manual has been compiled in order that you may get to know your ma-
chine and to be able to use it safely and efficiently. Donʼt forget that it forms
an integral part of the machine, so keep it handy so that it can be consulted
at any time, and pass it on to the purchaser if you resell the machine.
This new machine of yours has been designed and made in line with current
regulations, and is safe and reliable if used for cutting and collecting grass
exactly following the instructions given in this manual (proper usage). Using
the machine in any other way or ignoring the instructions for safe usage,
maintenance and repair is considered "incorrect usage" ( 5.1) which will
invalidate the guarantee, and the manufacturer will decline all responsibility,
placing the blame with the user for damage or injury to himself or others in
such cases.
Since the product is continually being improved, you may find slight diffe -
rences between your machine and the descriptions contained in this man-
ual. Certain modifications can be made to the machine without prior warn-
ing and without the obligation to update the manual, although the essential
safety and function characteristics will remain unaltered. In case of any
doubts, do not hesitate to contact your Dealer. And now enjoy your work!
