5.5.3 TRAVELLING SPEED AND MOWING GRASS
► It generally applies that the wetter, higher and more dense the grass is, the lower the travelling speed that should be used.
When the mower is travelling at high speed or when under large load, the rotation speed of the blades is reduced, the quality of
the cut is worse and the ejection chute may become clogged. Under such conditions always set the engine to maximum power.
► If the grass is very high, it is necessary to mow it several times. First mow at maximum elevation and with narrower mowing
coverage width if necessary. The second run can then proceed at the required mowing height.
► We recommend mowing in the parallel or cross direction. Covering the previous coverage of the mower increases the
effectiveness of the blades and will improve the appearance of the mowed area.
► When travelling over uneven terrain the travelling speed may fluctuate.
Recommended travelling speeds of the mower based on conditions:
Condition of vegetation
High, dense and wet
Average conditions
Low, dry vegetation
Travelling without the mowing deck engaged
5.5.4 TRAVELLING ON A SLOPE
The mower may work on slopes with an incline of up to 12° (21%).
When working on a slope it is necessary to adhere to the following
fundamentals:
► Pay increased attention when travelling on a slope.
► Always use a slower travelling speed.
► Only travel perpendicular to the contour, i.e. up and down. Travelling in the
direction of the contour is possible with extra attention only when turning
the mower. If at all possible, avoid travelling along the contour.
► When turning ensure that a wheel does not drive over an elevated obstacle
(rock, tree root, etc.).
► Travel slower when travelling down a slope or over obstacles. Pay special
attention when turning and turning around on slopes.
► If you stop on a slope, always use the parking brake.
When overloading the mower by travelling on slopes over the aforementioned values, there is a risk of serious damage to the
transmission. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused in this way.
