SAFETY, OPERATORS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
10.11 STOPPING THE MACHINE ON A SLOPE
In case you are forced to stop the mower on a slope
and need to interrupt you work, stop the engine etc.
be sure to position the wheels across the slope.
This will prevent possible movement of the mower
down the slope.
10.12 SKID STEERING
Slope mower Spider ILD02 is equipped with the skid
steering function. This function allows machine
rotation around its vertical axis by driving wheels in
opposite directions. This function can be activated
by controller 10 under the condition that the wheels
are positioned in the straight direction (see the figure
below). If these conditions are met then the mower
can be rotated using controller 8 (driving forward/
backward). By moving the joystick forward the
mower rotates clockwise, by moving it backwards
the mower rotates counter clockwise.
