mac hine . Ho w ev er , use them carefully , especially
on soft or w et g rass conditions because the turf
ma y be tor n accidentally . Y ou ma y also use
indi vidual tur ning brak es to help maintain traction.
F or example , in some slope conditions , the uphill
wheel slips and loses traction. If this situation
occurs , press the uphill tur n pedal g radually and
inter mittently until the uphill wheel stops slipping,
thus , increasing traction on the do wnhill wheel.
