To cut grass on slopes
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
8850 - 003 - 14.11.2018
• To cut grass on slopes increases the risk that you
can not control the product and that it overturns. This
can cause injury or death. It is necessary to cut the
grass carefully on all slopes. If you cannot reverse
up a slope or if you do not feel safe, do not cut it.
• Remove stones, branches and other obstacles.
• Cut up and down the slope, not from side to side.
• Do not move down a slope with the cutting deck
lifted.
• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.
• Do not start or stop on a slope.
• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Do not turn more than necessary. Turn slowly and
gradually when you move down a slope. Move at low
speed. Turn the wheel carefully.
• Look out for and do not move across furrows, holes
and bumps. There is a higher risk that the product
overturns on ground that is not flat. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks. The
product can suddenly overturn if a wheel moves
across the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an
edge gives way. If the product falls into water, there
is a risk of drowning.
• To make the product more stable, attach wheel
weights or counterweights. Speak to your dealer for
more information. On R 216T AWD, use
counterweights since wheel weights can not be used
on AWD products.

flammable, and can cause injury and
damage to property.
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.

• Do not fill above recommended fuel level. The heat
from the engine and the sun makes the fuel expand
and the fuel overflows if the tank is filled too much.
• Do not fill too much. If you spill fuel on the product,
clean up the spill and wait until it is dry before you
start the engine. If you spill on your clothing, change
it.
• Store fuel in approved containers only.

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass cuttings
and dirt. Grass cuttings soaked in fuel or oil on the
engine can increase the fire risk and the risk that the
engine becomes too hot. Let the engine cool before it is
cleaned. Clean with water and a brush.
Grass cuttings around the muffler dry quickly and are a
fire risk. Use a brush or remove the grass cuttings with
water when the muffler is cold.

Transportation, storage and disposal
Transportation
• The product is heavy and can cause crush injuries.
Be careful when you load it onto or off a vehicle or
trailer.
• Use an approved trailer for transportation of the
product.
• Make sure that you have knowledge of local road
traffic regulations before transportation of the
product in a trailer or on roads.
To safely attach the product on a trailer for
transport
WARNING: The parking brake is not
sufficient to lock the product during
transport. Attach the product tightly to the
trailer.
2. Attach the tension belts around the frame or rear
wagon.
3. Tighten the tension belts in the direction of the rear
and the front of the trailer to secure the product.
4. Put the wheel blocks in front of and behind the rear
wheels.
To tow the product
The product has a hydrostatic transmission. To prevent
damage to the transmission, tow the product short
distances only and at low speed.
Disengage the transmission before you tow the product.
Refer to
To engage and disengage the drive system on
page 12
.
Storage
Prepare the product for storage at the end of the
season, and before more than 30 days of storage. If you
keep fuel in the fuel tank for 30 days or more, tacky
particles can cause blockage in the carburetor. This has
a negative effect on the engine function.
To prevent tacky particles during storage, add a
stabilizer. If alkylate gasoline is used, stabilizer is not
necessary. If you use standard gasoline, do not change
to alkylate gasoline. This can cause sensitive rubber
parts to become hard. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the
tank or in the container used for storage. Always use the
mixing ratios given by the manufacturer. Run the engine
for a minimum of 10 minutes after you add the stabilizer
until it flows into the carburetor.
WARNING:
fuel in the tank in an indoor location or in
locations with bad airflow. Risk of fire if fuel
fumes come near open flames, sparks, or
pilot lights in for example boilers, hot water
tanks and clothes dryers.
WARNING: Remove grass, leaves and
other flammable materials from the product
to decrease the risk of fire. Let the product
become cool before you put it in storage.
• Clean the product, see
16
. Repair paint damages to prevent corrosion.
• Examine the product for worn or damaged parts and
tighten loose screws and nuts.
• Remove the battery. Clean it, charge it, and keep it
cool during storage.
• Change the engine oil, and discard the waste oil.
• Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and run it until
there is no remaining fuel in the carburetor.
Note: Do not empty the fuel tank and carburetor if a
stabilizer has been added.
• Remove the plugs and put about a tablespoon of
engine oil into each cylinder. Manually turn the
engine shaft to apply the oil and put the plugs back
on.
• Lubricate all grease nipples, joints and axles.
• Keep the product in a clean and dry area and cover
it for more protection.
• A cover for protection of your product during storage
or transport is available at your dealer.
Do not keep the product with
