GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The all purpose flail is a single-axle self-propelled machine equipped with an all purpose flail to cut
grass in rough areas and on slopes (max. 20 °). This machine is built on a frame fitted with a petrol

flail. Other implements can be connected to the P.T.O such as snow throwers, cutter bars and
pivoting brushes. This machine is a pedestrian-controlled machine, the operator steers the
machine via the handle-bar where the controls are located.
CAUTION! Before starting the engine, read this carefully. The following warnings
are very important to ensure the operator's safety!
