REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF
DIRECTION ON SLOPES, and always apply the parking brake
before leaving the machine at a standstill and unattended.
WARNING!
Take care when beginning forward movement
on sloping ground to prevent the risk of tipping up. Reduce
the forward speed before going on a slope, particularly
downhill.
DANGER!
Never switch to reverse gear to decrease
speed when going downhill: this could cause loss of control
of the machine, especially on slippery ground.
Go down slopes with your foot off the drive pedal (

or trailer, use ramps with suitable resistance, width and
length. Load the machine with the engine switched off, with-

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 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 sharpened so
that the grass is cut straight without a ragged edge that leads to yellow-
ing 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 ground 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, pos-

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 dis-
tort the horizontal position of the cutting-means assembly and damage
its edge as well as the cutting means.
