Tips for proper mowing
Working on slopes:
Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in which
control over the ride-on mower is lost causing it to tip over,
which can result in severe or even fatal injuries.
There is no „safe“ slope! Driving on grassy slopes re-quires
special concentration. For safety reasons, the machine must
not be used on slopes with an inclina-tion of more than 10°
(17.6 %). Risk of injury!
A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical height
increase of 17.6 cm for a 100 cm horizontal distance.
Starting off or stopping on a gradient must be avoid-ed.
Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches,
etc.) where the ride-on mower can tip over or slide. The
danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the ground is soft
or damp.
Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction.
Driving transversely increases the danger of tipping
over.
Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driv-ing on
slopes. Work in this type of situation requires calm,
cautious and even operation of the ride-on mower.
Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided.
Only turn on slopes if this is unavoidable. If possible,
drive slowly and in a large curve in the down-slope
direction.
Do not mow wet grass, particularly on slopes, as
wheel grip is reduced on wet grass. The ride-on mow-er
could slide and become uncontrollable for the user.
