SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 Garden-tractor for the purpose
for which it was made, that is, the cutting and
collection of grass. Any use not specifically
indicated in the instruction handbook can be
dangerous and result in damage to the ma-
chine, and will also result in the annulling of
the warranty and the manufacturer declining
all responsibility.
3) Never allow children or people unfamiliar with
these instructions to use the Garden-tractor.
Local regulations may restrict the age of the
operator.
4) Never use the Garden-tractor:
lWhen people, especially children, or pets are
nearby.
lIf the operator has taken medicine or
substances that can affect his ability to react
and concentrate.
5) Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
6) Do not carry passengers.
7) The operator of a Garden-tractor must
carefully follow the driving instructions,
particularly:
lThe need for care and concentration when
using Garden-tractors;
lThat control of a Garden-tractor sliding on a
slope will not be regained by the application of
the brake.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
lInsufficient wheel grip;
lBeing driven too fast;
lInadequate braking;
lThe type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
lLack of awareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes;
lIncorrect hitching and load distribution.
8) The Garden-tractor is equipped with a series
of safety microswitches and devices which
must never be removed, altered or tampered
with. Removing these devices invalidates the
warranty and the manufacture declines any
responsibility.
