•
The operator must always be familiar with the local conditions, particularly
the slopes, and change their position accordingly. The distances in relation
to the danger area described must be observed (see Chapter 2.4 Work
areas and danger zones on Page 11).
•
Do not mow on slopes with a gradient of more than 50° (120%). The
mower can travel on slopes with a maximum gradient of 50° under optimal
conditions.
•
Mowing damp grass or dry sand must be avoided if possible. The tracked
mower may start to slip uncontrollably depending on how damp the grass
is, the grain size of the sand and the slope inclination. The machine can
usually not be stopped in such situations. As such, uncontrollable slipping
must be avoided at all costs.
•
Check the area to be mowed for any foreign objects.
•
Check the area to be mowed for any steps or holes that may destabilise
the tracked mower.
•
Always manoeuvre the mower carefully and drive it downhill slowly.
•
When on a slope, mow horizontally in one direction and then use the drive
lever to reverse the direction of travel at the end of each row.
•
Set the speed on the rotary potentiometer on the remote control. This
prevents an “oversteering” of the drive lever.
•
Never leave the mower on a slope with the engine running.
•
Never stand below the tracked mower.
•
Never drive the tracked mower outside of your field of vision. When driving
over hills, the tracked mower must be stopped near the hilltop. Change
your position so that you have a clear view of the other side of the hill.
•
Do not start or stop the engine suddenly when moving uphill or downhill.
Take particular care when changing direction on slopes.
