GENERAL INTRODUCTION - WARRANTY

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The user of the lawn mower (later referred to as the "machine") is responsible for his
own safety as well as that of the people in proximity of it.
It is therefore crucial that the user has detailed information on the use and maintenance of the machine and
on how to connect it correctly to a tractor.
This machine can operate only through a Cardan shaft attached to the power takeoff of an agricultural tractor
equipped with a lifting unit and 3-point universal linkage. This manual is intended both for the operator and
those responsible for maintenance. Essential instructions and procedures to follow during use and mainten-
ance of the machine are conveyed through drawings and text.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the machine is connected to the tractor and is operated in com-
pliance with current legal provisions.
The machine must only be operated and maintained by persons who have read this manual. The manual
should always be kept to hand. It is particularly important to read CHAPTER 3 on general safety instructions.
These instructions must always be heeded.
If you are in any doubt, contact the Assistance Center or your nearest dealer.
1.2 WARRANTEE
On delivery, check that the machine has not been damaged during transport and that all the attachments are
present. Claims must be made in writing to the agent within 8 days of receipt.
The manufacturer warrants new machinery at the time of delivery to the original purchaser to be free from
defects in material and workmanship if properly set up and operated in accordance with this Operator's Ma-
nual.
The manufacturer undertakes to repair or replace free of charge any defective part which should be returned
by the purchaser (freight prepaid) and found to be defective by inspection authorized by The manufacturer
during the warranty period.
This warranty will be valid for 12 (twelve) months from the delivery of goods to the original purchaser.
In case the customer is not in a position to return the defective part to the manufacturer, the manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any cost due for repair or replacement of any part of the machine, he will only
supply the part(s) required for the repair and/or replacement.
The warranty is null and void when it is evident that the machine has been improperly used or repaired or
however repaired without authorization.
The manufacturer undertakes no responsibility for any obligation or agreement reached by any employers,
agents or dealers, which are not in compliance with the above warranty. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for the consequent damages. This warranty substitutes any other warranty, express or implied,
and any other manufacturer's obligation.
