[. . . ] The steering system of this mower uses individual right and left motion control levers on the handle bars. Squeezing one motion control lever more than the other will reduce the flow of oil from the hydro pump to its wheel motor. To stop backward travel, set both levers back into their stop positions and lock the position with neutral bail. 2. 3. 8011-422 ETS-handle with bail in neutral position 4. To operate on hills To operate on slopes is a dangerous mowing job. Read the Safety Instructions section “Driving on Slopes” on page 8. WARNING!And do not drive across any slopes. • • • The slowest speed possible should be used before starting up or down hills. Make all turns slowly. English- 27 OPERATION Mowing Tips • • Observe and mark rocks and other fixed objects in order to avoid collisions. The cutting deck should be properly leveled for best mowing performance. The blades should be parallel to the ground or slightly tipped down in the front. Drive so that clippings are discharged onto the area that has been cut. This will result in more even distribution of clippings and a more uniform cut. To avoid clippings spraying on roads etc, mow the first two patterns in opposite direction. Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained. The average lawn should be cut to 2 1/2" (64 mm) during the cool season and to over 3" (76 mm) during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth. For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15 cm) in height should be mowed twice. • The mowing result will be best with a high engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the machine moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and dense, the driving speed can be increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing result. The mowing becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher driving speed can be used without poorer mowing results. 8011-409 WARNING!Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades. • • • • • Mowing patterns • English-28 OPERATION • Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under the cowling. Avoid sudden directional changes. Clean mower deck after each use 8011-514 Stopping Emergency stop Release both hands from the operator presence lever handles.
