Risks when mowing on slopes
Tips for driving on slopes
•
Never drive sideways to the slope. Risk of tipping over!
•
Always drive up and down the line of fall.
•
Drive very slowly when going downhill and in bends.
→
Danger of tilting!
•
Be especially aware of the risk of tipping over when using
trailers and accessories on slopes. The trailer increases
the risk of tipping over.
•
Avoid the edges of slopes and ditches.
→
The wheels
could go over the edge or slip down.
•
Take special care when driving in unknown territory.
→
Furrows may be hidden in the grass.
•
Never deactivate the safety function of the seat, as the
motor and therefore the blades would otherwise not be
switched off in an emergency.
6.7
Tips for mulching
With a regular, short mowing rhythm
•
Only dry grass should be mulched.
•
Make sure the ground is dry, otherwise wheel ruts may
arise.
•
If the ground is wet the drive wheels will have reduced
traction and an unstable grip on the terrain surface.
•
Mow the area from the inside to the outside.
•
An optimum mowing result is achieved with high
rotational speed and low driving speed.
•
Only cut the blades of grass by 1/3 to leave enough room
for the grass chaff.
•
The ideal length of grass for mulching is 5 cm.
After a longer break from mowing
•
Mulching should be performed at the highest setting,
otherwise the mowing mechanism will become clogged.
•
Now mow the grass in two separate stages.
