Designated use

The engine has been designed for driving lawn-
mowers for private use. Due to its exhaust gases
it must only be operated outdoors and not in-
doors. Any use not in accordance with this desig-
nated use shall be regarded as misuse.
This engine is intended solely for use in non-
commercial applications. Any other use (as well
as unauthorised conversions or add-ons) are re-
garded as contrary to the intended use and will
result in exclusion of the warranty as well as loss
of conformity (CE mark); the manufacturer will
thus decline any responsibility for damage and/or
injury suffered by the user or third parties.
