Working on uneven ground
Extra caution is needed when using the equipment on inclined terrains and slopes. Drive slowly especially on
inclined, uneven, or slippery surfaces, and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction. Operate the controls
of the loader with careful and smooth movements. Watch out for ditches, holes on the ground, and other
obstacles, as hitting an obstacle may cause the loader to tip over.
Maximum lifting capacity can not be achieved on inclined terrain. On horizontally tilted terrain the load must
not be lifted high. The loader frame articulation should be kept straight when lifting heavy loads; turning the
load during lifting operation will affect the stability of the loader and may lead to overturning of the machine.
Mow slopes by driving straight up and down, not across. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
If the tyres lose traction, stop the mower blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope. Do not mow near
drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The loader could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff,
ditch, or if an edge caves in.
6.3
Floating system
The mower is equipped with a mechanical floating system, which enables efficient mowing on uneven terrains.
Floating refers to a linkage that allows the mower to follow the contours of the lawn without moving the loader
boom.
Floating is adjusted by using the controls of the loader boom
from the driver's seat, when ready to begin mowing.
To set the mower linkage to correct initial position:
Position the loader boom and its quick coupling plate to
about in the middle of the extreme positions of the floating
linkage.
The middle position in the adjacent figure indicates the
correct initial setting.
The operation of floating is greatly affected by its setting. If the
floating has been set too high, the mower is easily left hanging in
the air. When it is too low, the loader's front wheels are easily
raised off the ground.
When setting the mower floating linkage to correct operating position, avoid pressing the
mower hard against the ground with the loader boom to avoid damaging the mower.
Operate both the lift and tilt movements of the loader boom carefully.
