been caused by vibrational loads.
Symptoms of this kind principally affect the

(incomplete list):

4.2 Training – learning to use the
machine
Make sure that you are familiar with the
controls and operation of the machine. In
particular, the user must know how the
work tools and engine can be stopped
quickly.
The machine must only be used by
persons who have read the instruction
manual and are familiar with operation of
the machine. The user should seek expert
and practical instruction prior to initial
operation. The user must receive
instruction on safe use of the machine
from the vendor or another expert.
During this instruction, the user should be
made aware
– that the utmost care and concentration
are required for working with the
machine.
– that a ride-on mower which is sliding
down a slope cannot be brought under
control by applying the brake.
The main causes for the loss of control
over the ride-on mower include:
– inadequate adhesion of the wheels,
– driving too fast,
– inappropriate braking,
– incorrect use (sport events, etc.),
– inadequate knowledge of the effects
associated with ground conditions,
especially on slopes (see section "For
your safety", "Working on slopes"),
– incorrect attachment of loads and poor
load distribution.
4.3 Transporting the ride-on mower
On account of its own weight, the ride-on
mower can cause severe crush injuries.
Particular care must be taken when
loading or unloading the ride-on mower
onto/from a vehicle or trailer for transport
purposes.
This ride-on mower must not be towed. For
transporting on public roads, a suitable
vehicle or a suitable trailer must be used.
During transport, the ride-on mower must
be secured to a load floor as described in
this instruction manual. Furthermore, the
parking brake must be engaged. (
Ö 15.)
Prior to transporting or storage, disengage
the drive to the mowing blades or
attachments.
When transporting the machine, always
observe regional legislation, especially
regarding load security and the transport
of objects on load floors.
Allow the machine, in particular the engine
and muffler, to cool down completely after
loading and before further transport. The
load floor and the area around the muffler
and engine must be kept free of
combustible materials such as straw,
leaves or dry grass residues.
