ACCESSORIES/SPARE PARTS
Always use genuine spare parts and
accessories. Non-genuine spare parts
and accessories have not been
checked and approved by the lawn-
mower manufacturer. Use of non-gen-
uine spare parts and accessories can
lead to the risk of injury even if they fit
the machine. The lawnmower manufac-
turer does not accept any liability for
injuries caused by the use of such parts
or accessories.
Genuine spare parts are stocked by authorised
service centres and by many dealers.
We recommend that you take the machine to an
authorised service centre for annual servicing,
maintenance and inspection of safety equipment.
For servicing and spare parts contact your distrib-
utor.

returned to your distributor for recycling.
