already been said, in the aim to prevent damage to the

risk of serious injury or death to oneself or others.
Positions on the machine, such as "front" (F), "back"
(B), "left" (L) or "right" (R) hand side, refer to the
direction of forward travel.
For all operations regarding the use and maintenance
of the engine or the battery not described in this

1.2. General safety regulations

A) Training
Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with
the controls and how to use the equipment
properly.
Never let children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions use the machine.
Local regulations can restrict the age of the user
Never mow while people, especially children, or
pets are nearby.
Keep in mind that the operator or user is
responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
Do not carry passengers.
All drivers should seek and obtain professional and
practical instruction. Such instruction should
emphasize:
•
the need for care and concentration when
working with ride-on machines
•
you cannot use the brake to regain control of
a ride-on machine sliding down a slope.
The main reasons for loss of control are:
insufficient wheel grip
over-speeding
inadequate braking
the type of machine is unsuitable for its
task
unawareness of the effect of ground
conditions, especially slopes
incorrect hitching and load distribution
