HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.5 USING ON SLOPING GROUND
Only mow on slopes with gradients up to
the maximum already mentioned (
max
10° - 17%).
Lawns on a slope have to be
mowed moving up and down and never
across them, taking great care when
changing direction that the highest
wheels do not hit obstacles (such as
stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may
cause the machine to slide sideways, tip
over or otherwise cause loss of control.
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION
ON SLOPES, and always engage the parking brake before leaving the
machine stopped and unattended.
Take care when beginning forward movement on slop-
ing ground to prevent the risk of tipping up.
Reduce the forward speed before going on a slope, particularly downhill.
Never use reverse to reduce speed going downhill.
Control of the machine may be lost, particularly on slippery surfaces.
For mechanical drive models:
Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral gear or
