9.10. FOLD-OUT BUMPERS
The mower is fitted with fold-out bumpers, which improve work safety when working on slopes and in
unknown terrain and increase the mower resistance against rolling over.
For transport keep the bumpers in a vertical position.
For use, fold the bumpers down to the horizontal position until all latches of the bumper snap inside
the bumper locks.
To fold the bumpers back to the vertical position push with both thumbs onto the latches until they are
released from the locks. Pull the bumpers upwards to the vertical position.
Fold-out bumpers are only functional when properly locked in a horizontal position.
The use of fold-out bumpers does not increase the maximum permitted slope / mower tilt.
9.11. STOPPING THE MOWER ON A SLOPE
In case you are forced to stop the mower on a slope and interrupt your work for whatever reason, be sure to
position the wheels across the slope and secure the mower by the emergency brake. This will prevent the
mower from moving down the slope.
When releasing the emergency brake on a slope, make sure that you start the engine prior to
releasing the emergency brake..
Brake locked in the shallow groove (pulled up) – brake released
Brake locked in the deep groove (pushed in) – brake engaged
