a. Snake mowers work well in wet conditions, but mow when conditions are dry if possible.
b. Terrain, grass length, moisture content, soil moisture and tractor power all affect the final job.
c. Unsightly clumping will occur if too much grass is cut in one pass. Mow more frequently. Schedule
more cuts in spring time.
4. Ground speed:
a. Travel speed can vary from very slow to more than 15kph (9mph) if vegetation and terrain permit.
b. The operator is responsible for monitoring the job and setting ground speed. Ground speed may
be increased if a good cut is being done or reduced if results are poor.
c. Always reduce ground speed when cutting over rough or steep terrain, around obstructions or in
close quarters.
5. Hidden Obstacles:
a. Always inspect the area for hidden obstacles before mowing.
b. If an obstacle is struck, stop and inspect the mower for damage. Repair as necessary before
continuing.
6. Cutting Height:
a. Never cut vegetation shorter than recommended for local weather conditions - vegetation cut
short is less able to withstand hot and dry conditions.
b. Cutting more often at a greater cutting height is better than cutting too short.
7. Blade Sharpness:
a. Replace blades if the mower does not cut cleanly.
8. Tight turns:
a. Never turn so sharply that the driveshaft operates at angles above 80°.
b. Take particular care when reversing not to “jack-knife” the mower. Driveshaft damage will occur if
angles exceed 80°.
9. Safety Awareness:
a. Snake mowers have blades which rotate at high speed. Stones or objects hit by blades can be
expelled from under the mower at high speed.
b. Operators must be aware that expelled objects may cause injury or death to people and animals
and damage to property.
DANGER! If people, especially children, approach within 30m (100 feet) of
the machine, STOP IMMEDIATELY and disengage the PTO. Do not restart
until the working area is cleared.
SAFETY! These mowers are designed to operate well in a wide variety of
grass or terrain conditions. However, the operator has the responsibility of
being familiar with and following all operating and safety procedures.
