The Spider is a mulching mower designed for mowing of well-maintained, but also unkept or only
occasionally mowed areas. The mower is operated by one person using radio control.
The mower may only be operated by authorized persons over 18 years of age both mentally and physically
fit, who are familiar with this Safety, Operator’s and Maintenance Manual and all applicable regulations
and laws pertaining to work health and safety that need to be observed while operating the mulching
mower Spider.
For use of the integrated stabilizing winch, it is obligatory to have read the Operation manual Winch HSN
02 and be properly trained by the seller on how to use the integrated stabilizing winch.
When driving on a slope the operator of the machine must carefully watch and evaluate the movements of the
mower and the characteristics of the terrain, especially the momentary adhesion of the wheels to the ground.
Pay attention to climatic conditions. Do not rely on the anchoring of the mower on the rope. Climbing
ability of the mower will rapidly change on dry, wet or moist grass.
The soil characteristics and firmness will also play a significant role. Sideslip will be much bigger on
newly built slopes then on hard ground. When working on a slope with the integrated stabilizing winch
use only one driving method: driving vertically / up and down a slope.
