Driving G
Risk posed by abrupt starting, sudden
stopping and driving at an excessively high
speed.
ÂRisk of accidents
¾ Drive slowly and brake slowly.
¾ Do not drive at excessive speed.
¾ Be particularly careful when reversing.
¾ Never change the direction of travel with-
out first bringing the unit to a standstill.
¾ When entering corners, always reduce
your speed and adjust the speed to the
turning radius (the tighter the corner, the
lower the speed).
¾ Never adjust the driver's seat when in
motion.
¾ Never operate the device without the
cutter deck.
This device turns on its own axis. The rear wheels
serve as turning points. A conventional device can
turn in circles, but not around its own axis.
The small vehicle length and the ability to turn
around its own axis give this device excellent
manoeuvrability.
This device features in lieu of a steering wheel two
control levers that serve to steer and power the
vehicle. When the control levers are moved to their
maximum positions the wheels rotate at the speed
set at the throttle.
The control lever positions between neutral and
MAX are proportional to the speed set at the throttle.
To familiarise yourself with how to operate the
device (about 30 minutes) you should start the
device on level ground without onlookers.
Note
Before you use the device to mow your
lawn you should familiarise yourself with the
device's new controls. Start the device and
move the accelerator lever to the centre po-
sition (mid engine speed), leaving the PTO
at OFF. Moving the control levers causes
the device to move slowly and you can now
familiarise yourself with the controls.
