Designated use
The lawn tractor is intended for mowing in do-
mestic gardens and allotments with a max. slope
of 10° (18 %). Additional applications, such as for
mulching, are only permitted if the original acces-
sories are used and in compliance with the maxi-
mum load values.
This appliance 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.

Possible misuse
The lawn tractor is not designed for commercial
use in public parks, sports grounds, agriculture
and forestry.
WARNING! Dangers due to overloading
the lawn tractor!
In particular, when using a trail-
er make sure not to exceed the permitted pulling
forces and uphill/downhill gradients. Exceeding
these values may exceed the braking capacity of
the lawn tractor and lead to dangerous situations!
