These safety precautions are essential for

reasonable and responsible manner and
be aware that the user is responsible for
accidents involving third parties or their

Only give or lend the machine, including
any accessories, to persons who are
familiar with this model and how to operate
it. The instruction manual forms part of the

The machine must only be operated by
persons who are well rested and in good
physical and mental condition. If your

instruction by a responsible person.
Make sure that the user is of legal age or
being trained under supervision in a
profession in accordance with national
regulations.
Caution – risk of accident!
The ride-on mower is only intended for
mowing lawns; its use for other purposes
is not permitted.
The machine must only be equipped with
original STIHL accessories. These enable
further applications. Information is
available from your STIHL specialist
dealer.

other persons, the machine must not be
used, for example, for the following
applications (incomplete list):
– for cutting creepers,

cuttings,
