of production when equipped with required weights
as listed in the weight chart.
Improper use or maintenance by the operator
or owner can result in injury. To reduce the

Safe Operating Practices
The following instructions are from the CEN standard
EN 836:1997, ISO standard 5395:1990, and ANSI
B71.4-2004.
Training
• Read the Operator's Manual and other training material
carefully. Be familiar with the controls, safety signs,
and the proper use of the equipment.
• If the operator or mechanic can not read the language
of this manual, it is the owner's responsibility to
explain this material to them.
• Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these
instructions to use or service the mower. Local
regulations may 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 and mechanics should seek and obtain
professional and practical instruction. The owner is
responsible for training the users. Such instruction
should emphasize the following:
- 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
as follows:
◊ Insufficient wheel grip
◊ Being driven too fast
