Stiga SD 98-108 Owner's Manual page 60

The operator is able to operate the machine
and use the main controls, always seated in the
operator's position.
The devices fitted on the machine stop the
engine and the cutting device within a few sec-
onds, should the operator behave in a manner
that does not comply with the necessary safety
precautions.
Intended use
This machine was designed and built to cut
grass.
The use of special accessories provided for by
the Manufacturer as original equipment or which
may be purchased separately, allows this work to
be done in various operating modes, illustrated
in this manual or the instructions that accompany
the single accessories.
Likewise, the intended use can be amplified to in-
clude other functions by applying supplementary
tools (if provided for by the Manufacturer), abid-
ing by the restrictions and conditions indicated in
the instructions accompanying the equipment.
Improper use
Any other usage not in keeping with the above-
mentioned ones may be hazardous and harm
persons and/or damage things. Examples of
improper use may include, but are not limited to:
– transporting people, children or animals on the
machine or on a trailer;
– towing or pushing loads without the use of the
specific accessory for towing;
– use of the machine for riding over unstable,
slippery, icy, stony, rough, marshy ground or
puddles that do not allow the consistency of
the ground to be assessed;
EN 2
– use the blades on surfaces other than grass.
– use of the machine for leaf or debris collection.
Improper use of the machine will invalidate the
warranty, relieve the Manufacturer from all liabili-
ties, and the user will consequently be liable for
all and any damage or injury to himself or others.
