Training

• Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawnmower. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
• 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.
  • Control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake.
• The main reasons for loss of control are:
  • insufficient wheel grip;
  • being driven too fast;
  • inadequate braking;
  • the type of machine is unsuitable for its task;
  • lack of awareness of the effect of ground conditions, especially slopes;
  • incorrect hitching and load distribution.
