Read and understand the contents of this manual before operating the tractor.

The following instructions are from the CEN standard EN 836:1997.

This product is capable of amputating hands and feet and of throwing objects. Always follow all safety instructions to avoid serious injury or death.

Training

•Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.

•Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.

•Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby.

•Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.

•Do not carry passengers.

•All drivers should seek and obtain professional and practical instruction. Such instruction should emphasize:

–the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines;

–control of a 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 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 conditions, especially slopes;

◊incorrect hitching and load distribution.
