HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
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 sloping
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.
Go down slopes without touching the pedal (
☛
4.32) to take advantage of the braking
effect of the hydrostatic drive when the transmission is not engaged.
5.6 TRANSPORTING
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, use suit-
able equipment for lifting and an appropriate number of people for the weight
involved and the type of lifting system used. The machine must never be lifted
by rope and tackle. While being transported, lower the cutting deck, engage
the parking brake and fasten the machine securely with ropes or chains to the
hauling device.
5.7 LAWN MAINTENANCE
1. To keep a lawn green, soft and attractive, it should be cut regularly without damag-
ing the grass. A lawn can be composed of different types of grass. If the lawn is cut
frequently, grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a solid grassy bed. If the
lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and weeds start growing (plus daisies and
clovers, etc.).
