equipment must be collected separately, for eco-
compatible recycling. If electrical equipment is
disposed of in dumps or in landfills, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and
contaminate the food chain, damaging your
health and well-being. For further information on
the disposal of this product, contact your dealer
or a domestic waste collection service.
At the end of their useful life, dispose of
batteries with due care and in
compliance with local regulations. The
battery contains material which is
harmful to you and the environment. They
must be removed and disposed of separately at a
facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries.
Separate waste collection of the products
and packaging used allows the materials
to be recycled and reused. Reuse of
recycled materials help to prevent
environmental pollution and reduces the
demand for raw materials.

4. GETTING TO KNOW THE MACHINE

4.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE AND
PLANNED USE
This machine is a ride-on lawn mower with
seated operator.
The machine is fitted with two electric motors,
which drive the cutting means and with two
independent electric drive units.
The operator is able to operate the machine
and use the main controls, always seated in the
operator's position.
The safety devices installed on the machine will
disengage the motor and cutting means in a cou-
ple of seconds (par. 7.2.2).

4.1.1 Intended use

This machine was designed and built to cut
grass. More specifically:
1. mow the grass and discharge it from the side
2. mow, chop and deposit the grass on the
ground (mulching effect).
The use of special attachments provided for by
the Manufacturer as original equipment or which
may be purchased separately, allows this work to
be done in various operating modes, illustrated
in this manual or the instructions that accompany
the single attachments.
Likewise, the intended use can be extended
to include other functions by applying
supplementary attachments (if provided for by
the Manufacturer), abiding by the restrictions
and conditions indicated in the instructions
accompanying the attachment.

4.1.2 Improper use

Any other use, other than the intended one, can
be dangerous and cause damage to persons
and/or property. Examples of improper use may
include, but are not limited to:
• allowing children, animals or other passengers
to ride on the machine as they could fall off and
injure themselves or compromise safe driving
by the operator;
• pushing loads;
• using the machine for riding over unstable,
slippery, icy, stony, rough, marshy ground or
puddles that do not allow the consistency of
the ground to be assessed;
• using the cutting means on surfaces other than
grass;
NOTICE
Improper use of the machine will invalidate
the warranty, relieve the Manufacturer from all
liabilities, and the user will consequently be liable
for all and any damage or injury to himself or
others.
4.1.3 User types
This machine is intended for use by consumers,
i.e. non-professional operators. It is intended for
"hobby use" and must be handled by a single
operator.
