These safety precautions are essential for

This machine is not suitable for use by

Children must be supervised, in order to
ensure that they do not play with the

physical and mental condition. If your
health is impaired, you should consult your
doctor to determine whether working with
the machine is possible. The machine

medications which impair reactions.
Caution – risk of accident:
The ride-on mower is only intended for
mowing lawns; its use for other purposes

The machine must only be equipped with
original VIKING accessories. These

applications (incomplete list):
– for cutting creepers,

cuttings,
– for clearing paths (vacuuming,
blowing),

hills.
