Meadow mower agria 5300
If there is a risk of slipping on a slope, have a
second person who holds the machine with a bar
or a rope. The second person must stand above
the machine at a safe distance from the hazard
zone.
Work across th
e slope along contour lines if
possible. If possible, turn the machine in uphill
direction.
When mowing/mulching, only work uphill to clear
the headland.
Never work downhill. The machine could
start slipping.
Never try to stop a slipping ma-
chine. The machine is too heavy. You can not
hold it. If possible, steer the machine across the
slope
. Release the safety lever to activate the
safety circuit.
Turn the machine only in u
phill direc-
tion!
Mowing flat surfaces
Mowing on slopes
Parking the machine on a slope
The machine rolls downhill when
you set the wheel switching to "O" on a
slope. Always position the machine such
that it is across the slope, and/or leave
wheel switching ON.
The machine rolls downhill at in-
creasing speed when wheel switching is
not switched on!
To move downhill, follow a diagonal
route across he slope.
Starting the engine on a slope
When you start the engine, leave
the wheel drive switched on -> braking
effect.
