ENG 24 HOW TO USE THE MACHINE<br />

could be too high for the lawn conditions.<br />

If this does not solve the problem, it is probably due to unsharpened cutting<br />

edges or the wings on the blade having become deformed (see chapter 7).<br />

3. If the grass is very tall it should be mowed twice - once at the maximum cutting<br />

height, and perhaps reducing the cutting width, followed by a second cut at<br />

the required height.<br />

4. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs which could alter the horizontal<br />

position of the cutting deck or damage its edge or the blade.<br />

SLOPES<br />

Complying with the slope limits already<br />

mentioned, lawns on a slope have to<br />

mowed moving up and down and never<br />

across them, taking great care when<br />

changing direction that the first wheels do<br />

not hit obstacles (such as stones, branches,<br />

roots, etc.), that may cause the<br />

machine to slide sideways, roll over or<br />

otherwise cause loss of control.<br />

! DANGER! REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION<br />

ON SLOPES and always engage the parking brake before leaving the<br />

machine stopped and unattended.<br />

! WARNING! Take care when beginning forward movement on sloping<br />

ground to prevent the risk of tipping up.<br />

max 10° (17%)<br />

! DANGER! Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral gear or<br />

with the clutch out! Always engage a low gear before leaving the<br />

machine stopped and unattended.
