2 GETTING TO KNOW THE
The machine described herein is gardening
equipment, a ride-on lawnmower to be precise,
with front cutting.
The machine is fitted with an engine which acti-
vates the cutting-means assembly, protected by a
safety guard, as well as a drive unit which moves
the machine.
The machine is articulated. This means that the
frame is divided into a front section and a rear
section which can be steered in relation to one
another.
The articulated steering allows the machine to turn
smoothly round trees and other obstacles with a
very tight turning radius.
The operator can drive the machine and activate
the main commands from a sitting position in the
driver's seat.
The safety devices installed on the machine stop
the engine and the cutting-means assembly.
