Practicing the RC mode
Read the chapter “Working in the RC mode” and make your-
self familiar with the control elements before you starting with
training or work.
Limit the maximum speed via the rotary knob on the Remote
Control transmitter. Make sure that you know at all times how
to stop the device.
First practice driving and steering on a big, open and flat ter-
rain while the blade is switched off.
Practice driving around obstacles. Never steer the device to-
wards yourself.
First mow on flat and open terrain and gradually increase the
level of difficulty (uneven terrain, obstacles, slight slope incli-
nations).
Move on to difficult terrain and slopes only after you have
safely mastered the device.
