2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This machine is a gardening tool designed to be operated
as a front cutting, ride-on lawn mower with seated operator.
The machine has an engine which actuates the cutting means
which is protected by a guard as well as a transmission which
ensures machine movement.
The machine is articulated. This means that the chassis is
divided into a front section and a rear section which can be
steered in relation to each other.
The articulated steering means that the machine can be
driven around trees and other obstacles with an extremely
limited steering radius.
The operator is able to operate the machine and use the main
controls, always seated in the operator's position.
The safety devices fitted on the machine will stop the machine
and the cutting means assembly.
Intended use and misuse
This machine is designed and built for cutting grass in gardens
and grassy areas.
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.
Any other use may be dangerous and cause damage to
persons and/or property.
Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:
• transporting other persons, children or animals on the
machine;
• using the machine for towing or pushing loads without the
use of the specified attachment for towing;
• Using the cutting means on surfaces other than grass;
• Using the machine for leaf or debris collection;
• using the machine to pass over unstable, slippery, icy,
stony or uneven ground, puddles or swamps.
IMPORTANT Improper use of the machine will void the war-
ranty and relieves the Manufacturer of any liability, placing all
responsibility for damage or injury, to him/herself or third par-
ties, on the user.
IMPORTANT The machine must be used by one operator
only.
IMPORTANT The machine has not been type-approved for cir-
culation on public roads. It must be used (as indicated by the
