Page 32

OPERATION

Turning on the spot can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position.

Operating on hills

Read the Safety Instructions "Slope Operation" in the "Safety Instructions".

WARNING!

To prevent rolling, never drive the machine on ground with a slope of more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes upwards and downwards, never across. Avoid sudden changes in direction.

The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills.

Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills.

If stopping is absolutely necessary, pull drive levers into the neutral position and push to the outside of the unit and engage the parking brake.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Control levers return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop.

To restart movement, release the parking brake.

Pull the control levers back to the center of the mower and press forward to regain forward motion.

Make all turns slowly.
