•
Maintain a clean undercarriage
Debris build-up in and around the undercarriage will lead to
premature roller bearing failure and increased track wear.
•
Inspect component condition .
Excessively worn sprockets or undercarriage components will
reduce useful track life.
Avoid:
•
Turning while manoeuvering across obstacles .
Turning when on an obstacle such as a log or curb, can
accelerate wear to the track guide lugs, and track
components. It is best to turn when both tracks are on the
same plane. If an obstacle must be crossed, position the
mower perpendicular to the object and cross it slowly.
•
Making spin or 360

pivot turns, instead, perform a three
point turn .
Pivot turns cause accelerated wear and/or increase the
potential for de-tracking, particularly if track tension is not set
to the specifications as outlined in the Operator’s Manual.
Operators should use three point turns whenever possible.
•
Traveling with one track on a slope, against a curb or
wall while the other track is on a flat surface
.
Always travel with both tracks on same plane or surface.
Operating tracks with the outside/inside edge of the track
turned up on a curb or wall etc., can cause damage to the
edge of the track and lead to de-tracking and shorten life.
Changing Operating Frequency
When working in close proximity to another Slope-Pro or any other
source of Radio Frequency emissions it is possible that the Slope-Pro
machine may receive unwanted signals. To avoid unwanted activity
on the machine, a protection device within the control disables the
machine drive, disengages the PTO, and engages the parking brake.
The Horn / Enable switch must be toggled to re-establish
communication with the machine to continue operation..
To avoid this interference, the transmitter can be changed to a
different channel for interference-free operation.
To change the frequency of the transmitter:
•
Depress and hold the Horn / Enable switch (horn will sound
continuously).
•
Toggle the Frequency switch up or down to a channel away
from the previous setting.
•
When changing frequency, the new channel will be shown on
the LED display beside the Horn / Enable switch.
