For safety reasons, the machine
must not be used on slopes with an
inclination of more than 10°
(17.6%).
A slope inclination of 17.6%
corresponds to a vertical height
increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm
horizontal distance.
● Familiarise yourself with the controls on
the machine before using it. (
● Before operating the machine, inspect
the maintenance schedule and carry
out all relevant maintenance
operations. ( 14.1)

use. ( 11.)
The ride-on mower must not be
operated if safety devices are missing
or damaged or have been bypassed or
modified.

but fill to approx. 4 cm below the
edge of the filler neck so that the
