HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.5 USING THE MACHINE ON SLOPING GROUND
Only mow on slopes with gradients up to the
maximum already mentioned (
max 10° -
17%
).
Lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving
up and down and never across them. When
changing direction, take great care that the
wheels facing up the slope do not hit any
obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots,
etc.) that may cause the machine to slide
sideways, tip over or make you lose control.
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION ON
SLOPES, and always apply the parking brake before leaving the machine at a
standstill and unattended.
Start moving forwards very carefully on sloping ground to
prevent the risk of tipping over. Reduce the forward speed before going on a
slope, particularly downhill.
