9.0 Vibration reduction
Best practices for reducing vibration emission:
The mower is designed to operate at low engine speeds. Adequate performance can
be achieved at little over idle speed.
Inspect the rubber vibration mounts for signs of wear and deterioration, replace if
necessary. Properly adjust the sprung floating handle bars to improve operator
comfort and further limit vibration transmission (See section 8.1).
A well maintained mower with an accurately ground and balanced cylinder is
recommended to limit vibration emission. Forcing the mower to cut longer grass than
intended or mowing on unsuitable surfaces will result in higher levels of vibration and
wear.
10.0 Noise reduction
Best practices for reducing noise emission:
This mower is designed to operate at low engine speeds. Adequate performance can
be achieved at little over idle speed. Setting minimal contact between the cylinder
and bottom blade will also help reduce noise emissions. Forcing the mower to cut
longer grass than intended or setting it to work at great depths may cause higher
levels of noise emission.
Damaged exhausts or loose guards can increase noise emissions. Therefore, before
use inspect the exhaust system for signs of wear and ensure the guards are securely
attached and in good condition.
