6.5. Use on slopes
Only mowing on steep slopes up to the maximum already mentioned
above: slopes greater than 15° (27%) and lateral slopes greater than
10° (18%).
- Grass on a slope should be mowed moving up and down and
never across.
- When changing direction, be very careful that the wheels facing up the slope do not hit
any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that could cause the machine to
slide sideways, tip over, or cause you to crash. to lose control.
Caveat
: Reduce speed before any change of direction on slopes and always apply the
parking brake before leaving the machine stationary and unattended.
- Start moving very carefully on sloping ground to avoid the risk of tipping over.
- Reduce forward speed before going down a slope, especially downhill.
- Never use reverse gear to slow down going downhill: this could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle, especially on slippery terrain.
- Go down hills without touching the pedal to take advantage of the braking effect of the
hydrostatic drive when the transmission is not engaged.
6.6. Transportation
Caveat
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, use proper lifting equipment and enough
people for the weight involved and the type of lifting system used. The machine must never be
lifted with ropes and tackle.
During transportation, close the fuel stopcock, lower the mower deck, apply the parking brake,
and securely fasten the machine with ropes or chains to the transportation device.
