INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
thank you for having chosen one of our products. We hope you will be com-
pletely satisfied with your new ride-on lawnmower and that it will fully meet
all your expectations.
This manual has been compiled in order that you may get to know your
machine and to be able to use it safely and efficiently. Don't forget that the
manual forms an integral part of the machine so keep it handy so that it can
be consulted at any time, and pass it on to the purchaser if you resell the
machine.
Your new machine has been designed and made in line with current regula-
tions, and is safe and reliable if used for cutting and collecting grass observ-
ing the indications given in this manual (proper usage). Using the machine
in any other way or ignoring the instructions for safe usage, maintenance or
repair, is considered "incorrect usage" (Chap. 5) which will invalidate the
guarantee, and the manufacturer will decline all responsibility, placing the
blame with the user for damage or injury to himself or others in such cases.
If you should find any slight differences between the description and your own
machine, bear in mind that, since there are continual improvements to the
product, information contained in this manual may be modified without prior
warning and without the obligation to update it, although the essential safety
and function characteristics will remain unaltered. In case of any doubts, do
not hesitate to contact your Dealer.
After-Sales Service
This manual gives all the necessary instructions for using the machine and
