carefully .
IMPOR T ANT!
This cutting mac hine is capab le of amputating hands and
eet and thr o wing objects. F ailure to obser ve the
ollo wing saf ety instructions could result in serious
injur y or death.
General operation
1. Read, understand and f ollo w all instr uctions in the man ual
and on the machine bef ore star ting.
2. Only allo w responsib le adults , who are f amiliar with the
instr uctions , to oper ate the machine .
3. Clear the area of objects such as roc ks , to ys , wire , etc.,
which could be pic k ed up and thro wn b y the b lade .
4. Be sure the area is clear of other people bef ore mo wing.
Stop the machine if an y one enters the area.
5. Ne v er carr y passengers .
6. Do not mo w in re
Always look down and behind before and while backing.
7.Be aware of the mower discharge direction and do not point
it at anyone. Do not operate the mower without either the
entire grass catcher or the guard in place.
8.Slow down before turning.
9.Never lea ve a running machine unattended. Always turn off
blades, set parking brake, stop engine and remove keys
before dismounting.
10.Turn off blades when not mowing.
11.Stop engine before removing grass catcher or unclogging
chute.
12.Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.
13.Do not operate the machine while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
14.Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing
roadways.
15.Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine
into a trailer or truck.
verse unless absolutely necessary.
Watch for holes , ruts or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn
the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not have
to stop or shift while on the slope.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for wheel
weights or counterweights to improve stability.
Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments.
These can change the stability of the machine.
Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do not
make sudden changes in speed or direction.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the
slope.
DO NOT
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary and then, turn slowly
and gradually downhill, if possible.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embandments. The
mower could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of
a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause
sliding.
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the
ground.
Do not use grass catcher on steep slopes.
III.Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
machine 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 machine off if children enter the area.
3.Before and when backing, look behind and down for small
children.
4.Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
5.Never allow children to operate the machine.
6.Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees or other objects that may obscure vision.
II.Slope operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All
slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope
or if you feel uneasy on it, do not mow it.
DO
Mow up and down slopes, not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

SAFETY RULES FOR USA
Travel and transport on public roads
Check the relevant road traffic regulations before driving the
machine on a public road. If transporting the machine on
another vehicle always use approved securing devices and
make sure that the machine is securely held.
Towing
If your machine has a hydrostatic transmission you should
only tow it very short distances at low speed if absolutely
necessary, otherwise the transmission may be damaged.
Intended use
This machine is designed solely for cutting grass on
conventional lawns and other cleared and leveled ground
without obstacles, as rocks, stumps etc., and, in conjunction
with accessories supplied by the manufacturer e ven f or other
special tasks for which instructions are delivered with the
accessory. Use in any other way is considered as contrary to
the intended use. Compliance with and strict adherence to the
conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by the
manufacturer also constitute essential elements of the
intended use.
This machine should be operated, serviced and repaired only
by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics
and who are acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.
Accident prevention regulations, all other generally
recognised regulations on safety and occupational medicine,
and all road traffic regulations must be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may
relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage
or injury.
Safe operation practices for Ride-On
Mowers
Before starting cutting operations, train different driving
operations on an open ground without people nearby until you
feel familiar with handling the equipment. This is particularly
important if you have no or little prior experience of driving a
vehicle.
Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are
involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related
injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to
operate the riding mower safely in order to protect themselv es
and others from serious injury.
Never carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall
off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine
operation.
