Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you feel
uneasy on a slope, do not operate on it.
Control of a walk-behind or ride-on machine sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are: insufficient tire
grip on the ground, speed too fast, inadequate braking, the
type of machine is unsuitable for its task, lack of awareness of the ground conditions, incorrect hitching and load
distribution.
1. Mow up and down slopes, not across.
2. Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
3. Choose a slow speed so that you will not have to stop
or change speeds while on the slope.
4. Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may loose traction.
5. Always keep unit in gear especially when traveling
down slopes. Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
6. Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disengage the blade(s) and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
7. Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction, which
could cause the machine to rollover.
8. Use extra care while operating machines with grass
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the stability of the unit. Do not use on steep slopes.
9. Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot
on the ground (ride-on units).
10.Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments.
The mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over
the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
11.Do not use grass catchers on steep slopes.
12.Do not mow slopes you cannot back up them.
13.See your authorized dealer/retailer for recommendations of wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
14.Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
15.Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes
even through the brakes are functioning properly.
16.Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
WARNING
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6 percent
(10°) which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in
20 feet (607 cm) horizontally.
When operating on slopes use additional wheel weights
or counterweights. See your dealer/retailer to determine which weights are available and appropriate for
your unit.
Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. In
addition to front weights, use extra caution when operating on slopes with rear-mounted grass catchers.
Mow UP and DOWN the slope, never across the face,
use caution when changing directions and DO NOT
START OR STOP ON SLOPE.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
unit and the mowing activity. Never assume that children
will remain where you last saw them.
1. Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
2. Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.
3. Before and during reverse operation, look behind and
down for small children.
4. Never carry children, even with the blade(s) off. They
may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with
safe unit operation. Children who have been given
rides in the past may suddenly appear in the mowing
area for another ride and be run over or backed over
by the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the unit.
6. Use extra care when approaching blind corners,
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure
vision.
Emissions
1. Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
2. Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air Index information on the engine emissions label.
Towed Equipment (Ride-On Units)
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for
weight limit for towed equipment and towing on
slopes.
3. Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may
cause loss of traction and loss of control.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
6. Do not shift to neutral and coast down hill.

Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty
Certified oils for best performance. Other high-quality
detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for
the engine. Use the chart to select the best viscosity for
the outdoor temperature range expected.
Synthetic 5W-30
* Below 40°F (4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard start-
ing.
** Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased
oil consumption. Check oil level more frequently.

Checking / Adding Oil
Before adding or checking the oil
• Place engine level.
• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 3) and wipe with a
clean cloth.
2. Insert and tighten the dipstick.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should
be at the FULL mark (B, Figure 3) on the dipstick.
4. If low, add oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C, Figure 3).
Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one minute and
then recheck the oil level.
NOTE: Do not add oil at the quick oil drain (if
equipped).
5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if
equipped) will either stop the engine or activate a warning
device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine
and check the oil level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper
pressure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not
start the engine. Contact an authorized dealer to have the
oil pressure problem corrected.
remain emissions compliant. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel
consumption, and increased emissions. Contact a Briggs
& Stratton Authorized Service Dealer for high altitude
adjustment information.
Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762
meters) with the high altitude adjustment is not recommended. For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines, no
high altitude adjustment is necessary.
Adding Fuel
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death.
When Adding Fuel
• Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 3 minutes
before removing the fuel cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow for expansion of the
fuel, do not fill above the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat, and other ignition sources.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for
cracks or leaks. Replace if necessary.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting
engine.
Fuel Recommendations

Driving the Rider
Zero Turn Driving Practice
The ground speed levers of the zero turn rider are responsive, and learning to gain a smooth and efficient control of
the rider’s forward, reverse, and turning movements will
take some practice.
Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown
and becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels, and steers — before you begin mowing — is absolutely essential to getting the most out of the zero turn rider.
Not for
Reproduction
en
Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn — one with plenty
of room to maneuver. (Clear the area of objects, people
and animals before you begin.) Operate the unit at midengine speed during this practice session (ALWAYS operate at full engine speed when mowing), and turn slowly to
prevent tire slippage and damage to your lawn.
We suggest you begin with the Smooth Travel procedure to the right, and then advance through the forward,
reverse, and turning maneuvers.
Smooth Travel
The ground speed levers of the zero turn rider are
responsive.
The BEST method of handling the ground speed levers is
in three steps — as shown in Figure 6.
1. Place your hands onto the levers as shown (A, Figure
6).
2. To go forward, gradually push the levers forward with
your palms (B, Figure 6).
3. To speed up, move the levers farther forward. To slow
down smoothly, slowly move the levers toward neutral
(C, Figure 6).
Advanced Driving
Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn
Your zero turn rider’s unique ability to turn in place allows
you to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather than
having to stop and Y-turn before starting a new row. See
Figure 11.
For example, to execute a right end-of row zero turn:
1. Slow down at the end of the row.
2. Move the LEFT ground speed lever forward slightly
while moving the RIGHT ground speed lever back to
center and then slightly back from center.
3. Begin mowing forward again.
This technique turns the rider RIGHT and slightly overlaps
the row just cut — eliminating the need to back up and recut missed grass.
As you become more familiar and experienced with operating the zero turn rider, you will learn more maneuvers that
will make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.
Remember, the more you practice, the better your control
of the rider will be!
Basic Driving
Forward Travel Practice
Gradually move both ground speed levers — evenly
FORWARD from neutral. See Figure 7. Slow down and
repeat.
Straight forward travel take practice. If necessary, top
speed can be balance-adjusted — see Speed Balancing
Adjustment section.
Reverse Travel Practice
LOOK DOWN & BEHIND, then gradually move both
ground speed levers evenly BACK from neutral. See
Figure 8. Slow down and repeat.
Practice backing up for several minutes before attempting
to do so near objects. The rider turns as sharply in reverse
as when going forward, and backing up straight takes practice.
Practice Turning Around a Corner
While traveling forward allow one lever to gradually return
back toward neutral. See Figure 9. Repeat several times.
To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best to
keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.
Practice Turning In Place
To turn in place (‘zero turn’), gradually move one ground
speed lever forward from neutral and one lever back from
neutral simultaneously. See Figure 10. Repeat several
times.
Changing the amount each lever is pulled — forward or
back, changes the ‘pivot point’ you turn on.
Attaching a Trailer
Secure the trailer with an appropriately sized clevis pin (A,
Figure 12) and clip (B).
WARNING
Towed loads can be hazardous and cause loss of control on slopes.
• The max gross (trailer & load) weight of trailer is 200
lbs (91 kg).
• Do not operate on slope exceeding 5 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
Cutting Height Adjustment
The cutting height adjust pedal adjusts the mower cutting
height. The cutting height is adjustable between 1.5” (3,8
cm) and 4.5” (11,4 cm).
To adjust cutting height:
1. Fully depress the cutting height adjust pedal (A, Figure
13) until the transport release rod (B) locks the deck
into the highest position (transport position).
2. Remove the pin (C, Figure 13) from the adjustment
bracket, and insert it in the desired hole.
NOTE: Make sure the pin is inserted into the holes in
both upper and lower plates of the adjustment bracket.
3. Depress the cutting height adjust pedal, move the
transport release rod outward, and slowly release the
pedal until it rests against the pin.

Cargo Bed (select models)
The cargo bed is designed to carry up to 50 lbs (22,7 kg).
Slots in the rear of the bed will accommodate a 2 x 4 or 2 x
6 to help secure loads during transport.
WARNING
Amputation hazard
Rotating blades cut off arms and legs. Do not carry riders (especially children) even with the blades off. They
may fall off or return for another ride when you are not
expecting it.
WARNING
Loss of Control and Roll-Over Hazard
Operating with loads in the cargo bed greater than 50
lbs can be hazardous and cause loss of control and rollovers.
The cargo bed can be raised to access the engine compartment without removing it. First, raise the seat (A,
Figure 14). Then pull up firmly on the rear of the bed (B).
When lowering the bed, press down firmly to secure the
rear of the bed in place with the locking clips (D).
To remove the cargo bed, remove the pins (C, Figure 14)
securing the front of the bed to the rider frame. Pull up
firmly on the rear of the bed to release the locking clips (D),
then lift and remove the cargo bed from the rider.
CAUTION
To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing
or installing the cargo bed.
To install the cargo bed, position the bed over the engine
compartment, aligning the holes in the front of the bed with
the holes in the frame brackets. Install the pins (C, Figure
14) into the holes. Then lower the rear of the bed, pressing
down firmly to secure with the locking clips (D).
CAUTION
To avoid injury, assistance is required when removing
or installing the cargo bed.
Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)
The shock assemblies can be adjusted to vary the amount
of preload applied to the springs. This allows the operator
to customize the ride according to operator’s weight and
operating conditions.
Less Pre-Load:
• Light operator weight
• Softer, more cushioned ride
• Best for relatively flat terrain
More Pre-Load:
• Heavy operator weight
• Stiffer, more rigid ride
• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain
To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, pivot the ground speed levers out to the START/
PARK position, engage the parking brake, and stop the
engine.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (A, Figure 15 - front
shown, rear similar) to a higher notch (B) to decrease
the pre-load, or to a lower notch (C) to increase the
pre-load. Make sure all shocks are set to the same
amount of pre-load.

Storage
WARNING
Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed,
unventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel
to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water
heater, etc.) and cause an explosion. Fuel vapor
is also toxic to humans and animals.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel in Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or
other appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition
sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Equipment
Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and remove the
key.
Battery life will be increased if it is removed. Put in a cool,
dry place and keep fully charged during storage. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the negative cable.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale
fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel
fresh, use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel
Treatment & Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs &
Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a
fuel stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the
engine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout
the fuel system before storage. If gasoline in the engine
has not been treated with a fuel stabilizer, it must be
drained into an approved container. Run the engine until
it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel stabilizer in the
storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
Before starting the unit after it has been stored:
• Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.
• Perform all recommended checks and procedures
found in this manual.
• Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before
use.

Power Rating *
The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine
models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power
& Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance
with SAE J1995. Torque values are derived at 2600 RPM
for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and
3060 RPM for all others; horsepower values are derived
at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at
www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power values
are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas
gross power values are collected without these attachments. Actual gross engine power will be higher than
net engine power and is affected by, among other things,
ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines
are placed, the gasoline engine may not develop the rated
gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air
cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump,
etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions
(temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine
variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations,
Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated
power for this engine.

Læs disse sikkerhedsregler og følg dem nøje. Hvis du ikke følger disse regler, kan det medføre, at du mister her-
redømmet over maskinen, alvorlig personskade eller død for dig selv eller de omkringstående eller beskadigelse af
ejendom eller udstyr. Dette klippeaggregat er i stand til at amputere hænder og fødder samt kaste genstande.
Trekanten i teksten angiver vigtige advarsler eller forholdsregler, som du skal følge.
Almindelig brug
1. Du skal læse, forstå og følge alle instruktioner i vejledningen og på maskinen før du starter den.
2. Hold ikke dine hænder eller fødder nær ved roterende
dele eller under maskinen. Hold dig væk fra udkaståbningen.
3. Lad kun ansvarlige voksne med kendskab til betjeningen
bruge maskinen (lokale regulativer kan påbyde en aldersgrænse).
4. Ryd området for løse genstande såsom sten, legetøj, kabler osv., der kan opfanges og kastes af kniven(e).
5. Vær sikker på at der ikke er andre i området før du slår
græsset. Stop maskinen hvis andre kommer ind på området.
6. Kør aldrig med passagerer.
7. Slå ikke græs i bakgear medmindre det er ubetinget nødvendigt. Se altid ned og bagud før og mens du bevæger
dig baglæns.
8. Ret aldrig udkastet materiale mod andre. Undgå at udkaste materiale mod en væg eller forhindring. Materiale kan
blive kastet tilbage mod føreren. Stop skærene når du
kører over grus.
9. Brug ikke maskinen medmindre hele opsamleren, udkastbeskytteren (skærmen) eller andre sikkerhedsforanstaltninger er på plads.
10.Sæt farten ned inden du drejer.
11.Lad aldrig maskinen stå uden opsyn mens den er i gang.
Du skal altid koble knivene fra (kraftudtaget), trække parkeringsbremsen, stoppe motoren og fjerne nøglerne før
du står af maskinen.
12.Du skal koble knivene fra (kraftudtaget) når du ikke slår
græs. Sluk for motoren og vent til alle dele står fuldstændigt stille før du rengør maskinen, fjerner opsamleren eller
renser udkastbeskytteren.
13.Brug kun maskinen i dagslys eller godt kunstlys.
14.Brug aldrig enheden mens du er påvirket af alkohol eller
narkotika.
15.Hold øje med trafik når du arbejder nær ved, eller krydser
en vej.
16.Vær ekstra forsigtig når du læsser maskinen af eller på en
anhænger eller lastbil.
17.Bær altid beskyttelsesbriller under betjening.
18.Det har vist sig at brugere på 60 år og derover er involveret i en stor del af ulykkerne i forbindelse med betjening
af motordrevet udstyr. Disse brugere bør overveje deres
egen evne til at betjene udstyret på en sikker måde uden
at være til fare for dem selv eller andre.
19.Følg producentens anbefalinger angående hjulvægte og
modvægte.
20.Husk at brugeren er ansvarlig for ulykker og person- og
ejendomsskader.

28.Det er en overtrædelse af staten Californiens Public
Resource Code Section 4442, at bruge eller betjene
motoren på eller nær ved ethvert skov-, krat- eller græsdækket område medmindre udstødningssystemet er
forsynet med en gnistfanger, der er i overensstemmelse
med lokale- eller statslove. Andre stater eller forbundsområder kan have andre tilsvarende love.
Transport og opbevaring
1. Når du transporterer maskinen på en åben anhænger,
skal du sørge for den vender fremad i kørselsretningen.
Hvis maskinen vender baglæns, kan den beskadiges af
vindløft.
2. Følg altid sikre fremgangsmåder for opfyldning og
omgang med brændstof når du fylder maskinen igen efter
transport eller opbevaring.
3. Opbevar aldrig maskinen (med brændstof) i en indelukket, dårligt ventileret bygning. Brændstofdampe
kan bevæge sig til en antændelseskilde (såsom et
fyr, vandvarmer osv.) og forårsage en eksplosion.
Brændstofdampe er endvidere giftige for mennesker og
dyr.
ADVARSEL
Læs ikke denne zero-turn rider på en anhænger eller lastbil ved
hjælp af to separate ramper. Brug kun en enkelt rampe som er mindst
en fod bredere end plæneklipperens bredde ved baghjulene. Denne
plæneklipper har en nul-venderadius og baghjulene kan falde af ramperne, eller plæneklipperen kan vælte og kvæste føreren eller de omkringstående.
4. Følg altid motormanualens vejledninger vedrørende forberedelser til opbevaring før du opbevarer maskinen i
kortere eller længere perioder.

Brug på skråninger
Skråninger er en væsentlig årsag til ulykker hvor man mister
herredømmet eller vælter og som kan medføre alvorlige kvæstelser eller død. Arbejde på enhver skråning kræver ekstra
forsigtighed. Hvis du er utryg ved at slå græsset på en skråning, så lad være.
På en skråning kan man ikke genvinde herredømmet over en
plæneklipper, som man går efter eller sidder på, ved at bremse. Hovedårsagerne til at man mister herredømmet er: dæk
med utilstrækkeligt greb på underlaget, for høj hastighed,
utilstrækkelig bremsning, maskintypen er uegnet til opgaven,
manglende kendskab til jordforholdene, forkert tilkobling og
vægtfordeling.
1. Slå græs tværs over skråningen, ikke op og ned.
2. Hold udkig efter huller, furer og forhøjninger. Ujævnt terræn kan vælte maskinen. Højt græs kan skjule forhindringer.
3. Vælg en lav hastighed så du ikke behøver at stoppe eller
ændre hastighed mens du er på skråningen.
4. Slå ikke på vådt græs. Dækkene kan miste deres greb.
5. Maskinen skal altid være i gear, især ved kørsel på skråninger. Lad ikke maskinen køre i frigear ned ad bakke.
6. Undgå at starte, stoppe eller dreje på en skråning. Hvis
dækkene mister deres grev, frakobl kniven(ene) og fortsæt langsomt lige ned ad skråningen.
7. Sørg for at al bevægelse på skråninger er langsom og
gradvis. Foretag ikke pludselige ændringer i hastighed
eller retning som kunne få maskinen til at vælte.
8. Vær ekstra forsigtig når du bruger maskiner med opsamlere eller andet udstyr; de kan påvirke maskinens stabilitet. Undlad at bruge på stejle skråninger.
9. Du må ikke forsøge at stabilisere maskinen ved at sætte
din fod på jorden (sidde køretøjer).
10. Slå ikke græs nær skrænter, grøfter eller jordvolde.
Plæneklipperen kan pludselig vælte hvis et hjul rager over
kanten på en skrænt eller grøft eller hvis en kant styrter
sammen.
11. Brug ikke opsamlere på stejle skråninger.
12. Slå ikke græs på skråninger hvis du ikke kan gå baglæns
op ad dem.
13. Henvend dig til din autoriserede forhandler angående
anbefalinger om hjulvægte og kontravægte.
14. Fjern forhindringer, såsom sten, grene osv.
15. Benyt lav hastighed. Dækkene kan miste deres greb på
skråninger selvom bremserne fungerer godt.
16. Vend ikke på skråninger medmindre det er yderst påkrævet; hvis du vender, gør det da langsomt og gradvist
nedad, såvidt muligt.
ADVARSEL
Arbejd aldrig på skråninger med en stigning over 17,6
procent (10°) som er en stigning på 106 cm (3-1/2 fødder)
lodret per 607 cm (20 fødder) vandret.
Når du arbejder på skråninger, brug ekstra hjulvægte eller
modvægte. Henvend dig til din forhandler/detailhandler
for at finde ud af, hvilke passende vægte er til rådighed for
maskinen.
Vælg en lav hastighed før du kører ind på skråningen.
Udover de forreste vægte, skal der også udvises ekstra
forsigtighed når du arbejder på skråninger med en bagmonteret opsamler.
Slå OP og NED ad skåningen, aldrig tværs over overfladen, og vær forsigtig når du ændrer retning. DU MÅ IKKE
STARTE ELLER STOPPE PÅ EN SKRÅNING.
Børn
Der kan ske alvorlige ulykker hvis føreren ikke er opmærksom
på børns tilstedeværelse. Børn tiltrækkes ofte til enheden og
aktiviteterne i forbindelse med græsslåning. Gå aldrig ud fra
at børn vil blive, hvor du så dem sidst.
1. Hold børn væk fra græsslåningsområdet og under opsyn
af en anden ansvarlig voksen.
2. Vær opmærksom og sluk for maskinen hvis der kommer
børn ind på området.
3. Før og mens du bakker skal du altid se ned og bagud og
passe på små børn.
4. Tag aldrig børn med på maskinen, selv med kniven(e)
slået fra. De kan falde af og blive alvorligt kvæstet eller
være i vejen for sikker brug af maskinen. Børn, som før
har fået en køretur, kan pludselig dukke op i græsslåningsområdet for at få en tur mere og blive kørt ned eller
bakket ned af maskinen.
5. Lad aldrig børn bruge maskinen.
6. Udvis ekstra forsigtighed, når du nærmer dig hjørner med
dårligt sigt, buske, træer eller andre genstande, der kan
blokere dit udsyn.
Emissioner
1. Udstødning fra motoren på dette produkt indeholder
kemikalier, som i visse mængder kan forårsage kræft,
fosterskader eller andre forplantningsskader.
2. Du kan finde den relevante emissionsvarighedperiode og
luftindeksinformation på motorens emissionsmærke.
Påhængsudstyr (Sidde køretøjer)
1. Brug kun en maskine til bugsering hvis den har en tilkoblingsanordning beregnet til at bugsere med. Du må ikke
koble påhængsudstyr til andet end tilkoblingspunktet.
2. Følg producentens anbefalinger angående vægtbegrænsning for påhængsudstyr og bugsering på skråninger.
3. Lad aldrig børn eller andre være i eller på påhængsudstyr.
4. På skråninger kan vægten af påhængsudstyr medføre at
maskinen mister grebet og føreren mister herredømmet.
5. Kør langsomt og påregn ekstra afstand til at stoppe.
6. Lad ikke maskinen køre i frigear ned ad bakke.
