DANGER!
Never use reverse to reduce speed going downhill: this
could cause you to lose control of the vehicle, especially on slippery ground.
Mechanical transmission
DANGER!
Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral or with the
clutch out! Always shift into a low gear before leaving the machine at a
standstill & unattended.
Hydrostatic transmission
Go down slopes with your foot off the drive pedal ( 4.32), to use the braking
effect of the hydrostatic drive when the transmission is not engaged.
5.6 TRANSPORTING
WARNING!
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, use
ramps with suitable resistance, width and length. Load the machine with the
engine switched off, without a driver and pushed by an adequate number of
people. During transport, close the fuel tap (if fitted), 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
damaging 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.).
2.
It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
3.
The blades must be in good condition and well sharpened so that the grass
is cut straight without a ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
4.
The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of the grass
and to get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings through the collector
channel.
5.
The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of growth of the
grass. The grass should not be left to grow too much between one cut and
the next.
6.
During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher to prevent
the ground from drying out.
7.
The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is approx. 4-5 cm.
With one cut, you do not need to remove more than a third of the total
height. If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour
period - the first time with the blades at maximum height, possibly reducing
the cutting width, and the second cut at the desired height.
8.
The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate cutting in both
directions.
