Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
WARNING:
hot during and after use and when the
engine operates at idle speed. Be careful
near flammable materials and/or fumes to
prevent fire.
To do a check of the muffler
• Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
Protective covers
Missing or damaged protective covers increase the
risk of injury on moving parts and hot surfaces. Do
a check of the protective covers before you operate
the product. Make sure that the protective covers are
correctly attached and do not have cracks or other
damages. Replace damaged covers.
To cut grass on slopes
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• To cut grass on slopes increases the risk that you
can not control the product and that it overturns. This
can cause injury or death. It is necessary to cut the
grass carefully on all slopes. If you cannot reverse
up a slope or if you do not feel safe, do not cut it.
• Remove stones, branches and other obstacles.
• Cut up and down the slope, not from side to side.
• Do not move down a slope with the cutting deck
lifted.
• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.

• Do not start or stop on a slope.
• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Do not turn more than necessary. Turn slowly and
gradually when you move down a slope. Move at low
speed. Turn the wheel carefully.
• Look out for and do not move across furrows, holes
and bumps. There is a higher risk that the product
overturns on ground that is not flat. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks. The
product can suddenly overturn if a wheel moves
across the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an
edge gives way. If the product falls into water, there
is a risk of drowning.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tires can
lose their grip so that the product skids.
• Do not put your foot on the ground to try to make the
product more stable.
• Move very carefully if an accessory or other object is
attached that can make the product less stable.
• To make the product more stable, attach wheel
weights or counterweights. Speak to your dealer
for more information. On R 216T AWD, use
counterweights since wheel weights can not be used
on AWD products.
