could be too high for the lawn conditions.
If this does not solve the problem, it is probably due to unsharpened cutting
edges or the wings on the blade having become deformed (see chapter 7).
3. If the grass is very tall it should be mowed twice - once at the maximum cut-
ting height, and perhaps reducing the cutting width, followed by a second cut at
the required height.
4. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs which could alter the hor-
izontal position of the cutting deck or damage its edge or the blade.
S
LOPES
Complying with the slope limits already
mentioned, lawns on a slope have to
mowed moving up and down and never
across them, taking great care when
changing direction that the first wheels
do not hit obstacles (such as stones,
branches, roots, etc.), that may cause the
machine to slide sideways, roll over or
otherwise cause loss of control.
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION
ON SLOPES and always engage the parking brake before leaving the
machine stopped and unattended.
Take care when beginning forward movement on slop-
ing ground to prevent the risk of tipping up.
For mechanical drive models:
Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral gear or
with the clutch out! Always engage a low gear before leaving the
machine stopped and unattended.
