5.1 SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

The machine must only be used for the purpose for

which it was designed (cutting and collection of grass).

Using the machine in any other way is considered "improper use" which 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.
Examples of improper use may include, but are not limited to:
– transport people, children or animals on the machine or on a trailer;
– tow or push loads;

use of the machine for moving over unstable, slippery, icy, stony, rough,

marshy ground and puddles that do not allow for evaluation of the consistency
of the ground;

– use of the machine for leaf or debris collection;
– use of the blades on surfaces other than grass

Do not tamper with or remove the safety devices

fitted to the machine. REMEMBER THAT THE USER IS ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE
FOR DAMAGE AND INJURIES TO OTHERS. Before using the machine:

read the general safety regulations(

1.2) , paying particular attention to

driving and cutting on slopes;

carefully read the instructions for use, become familiar with the controls and on

how to quickly stop the blade and engine.

– never put your hands or feet next to or beneath the rotating parts and always keep

away from the discharge opening.

Do not use the machine when in a precarious state of health or under the effect of

medicines or other substances that can reduce your reflex actions and your ability
to concentrate. It is the user's responsibility to assess the potential risk of the area
where work is to be carried out, as well as to take all the necessary steps to ensure
his own safety and that of others, particularly on slopes or rough, slippery and
unstable ground. Do not leave the machine stopped on high grass with the engine
running to avoid the risk of starting a fire. Always lower the speed when changing
direction, especially on tight turns.
