SAFETY REGULATIONS

Read carefully be-
fore using the machine.
A) TRAINING
1) Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
Learn how to stop the engine quickly.
2) Only use the machine for the purpose for which it
was made, that is, the cutting and collection of grass.
Any use not specifically indicated in the Operator's
Manual can be dangerous and result in damage to
the machine, and will also result in the annulling of
the warranty and the manufacturer declining all re-
sponsibility.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the machine. Local regula-
tions may restrict the age of the operator.
4) Never use the machine:
– when people, especially children, or pets are
nearby.
Some paragraphs in the manual contain information of particular im-
portance and these are highlighted at various levels of emphasis,
and signify the following:
tails or further information on what has already been said, and are
aimed at preventing damage to the machine or causing damage.
injury to oneself or others.
serious injury or death to oneself or others.

that can affect his ability to react and concentrate.
5) Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsi-
ble for accidents or hazards occurring to other people
or their property.
6) Do not carry passengers.
7) The operator of a machine must carefully follow
the driving instructions, particularly:
– the need for care and concentration when using
machines;
– that control of a machine sliding on a slope will not
be regained by the application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
– insufficient wheel grip;
– being driven too fast;
– inadequate braking;
– the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
– lack of awareness of the effect of ground condi-
tions, especially slopes;
8) The machine is equipped with a series of safety
microswitches and devices which must never be re-
moved, altered or tampered with. Removing these
devices invalidates the warranty and the manufac-
turer declines any responsibility.
