ENGLISH
(Translation of the original instructions)
his own safety and that of others, par-
ticularly on slopes or rough, slippery
and unstable ground.
If the machine is sold or lent to oth-
ers, make sure that the operator reads
the user instructions contained in this
manual.
Do not allow children or other passen-
gers to ride on the machine as they

The machine operator must follow the
driving instructions carefully and, in
particular:
a. Avoid distractions and maintain concentration
whilst working;
b. Bear in mind that control of a machine sliding
on a slope will not be regained by the appli-
cation of the brake. The main reasons for loss
of control are:
• Insucient wheel grip;
• Excessive speed;
• Inadequate braking;
• Type of machine unsuitable for its task;
• Lack of awareness of the eect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
• Incorrect use as a towing machine;
The machine is supplied with a series
of micro-switches and safety devices
which must never be tampered with
or removed; this will invalidate the
warranty and relieve the manufacturer
from all responsibility. Always check
that the safety devices are working
properly before using the machine.
