5.6 TRANSPORT POSITION

WARNING!
If the machine must be transported on a
truck or trailer, use ramps with suitable resistance, width
and length. Load the machine with the engine switched off,
without a driver and pushed by an adequate number of pe-
ople. During transport, lower the cutting-means assembly,
engage the parking brake and fasten the machine securely
to the hauling device with ropes or chains.

5.7 ADVICE ON HOW TO OBTAIN A GOOD CUT

1. To keep a lawn green and soft with a good appearance, it should
be cut regularly and without damaging the grass.
2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
3. The cutting means must be in good condition and well sharp-
ened so that the grass is cut straight without a ragged edge that
leads to yellowing at the ends.
4. The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a sharp cut of
the grass and to get the necessary thrust to push the cuttings
through the discharge chute.
5. The frequency of mowing should be in relation to the rate of
growth of the grass, which should not be left to grow too much
between one cut and the next.
6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut a little higher
to prevent the gro und from drying out.
7. If the grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in a twenty-four hour
period. The first time with the cutting means at maximum cutting
height, possibly reducing the cutting width and the second cut
at the height desired.
8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you alternate the cut-
ting in both directions.
9. If the discharge chute tends to get blocked with grass, you
should reduce the forward speed as it may be too high for the
condition of the grass. If the problem persists, the probable
causes are either badly sharpened cutting means or deformed
fins.
10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs as these
could distort the horizontal position of the cutting-means assem-
bly and damage its edge as well as the cutting means.
