Information on the
identification plate
These details are very important as
they will not only be needed for

ordering replacement parts but
they will also be required by Cus-

Enter all the details on your
mower's rating plate in the fol-
lowing fields.
This and other appliance infor-
mation can be found on the
separate CE declaration of con-
formity which is a component of
these operating instructions.

Operating Manual for Ride-on Lawn Tractor
This mower is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or

rience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or ins-
truction concerning use of the
