See
For model RC 318T the parking brake pedal is also used
for more brake power when necessary, for example
when you brake on a slope.
Muffler
The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and
sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.
Do not use the product if the muffler is missing or
defective. A defective muffler increases the noise level
and the risk of fire.
Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is
attached correctly and not damaged.
CAUTION! The muffler becomes very hot
during and after use and when the engine
operates at idle speed. Be careful near
flammable materials and/or fumes to prevent
fire.
Protective covers
WARNING! Missing or damaged protective
covers increases the risk of injury on moving
parts and hot surfaces. Before you operate
the product, make sure that the protective
covers are correctly attached and do not
have cracks or other damages. Replace
damaged covers.
To mow on slopes
WARNING! Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• To mow on slopes increases the risk that you can
not control the product and that the product
overturns. This can cause injury or death. It is
63 - 005 - 03.02.2017
necessary to mow carefully on all slopes. If you
cannot reverse up a slope or if you do not feel safe,
do not mow it.
• Remove obstacles such as stones and branches.
• Mow up and down the slope, not from side to side.
• Do not move down a slope with the cutting deck
lifted.
• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.
• Do not start or stop on a slope. If the tires start to
slip, stop the blades and move slowly down the
slope.
• For model RC 318T, always use the speed brake
pedal for more brake power when you operate on
slopes.
• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Do not turn more than necessary. Turn slowly and
gradually when you move down a slope. Move at low
speed. Turn the wheel carefully.
• Look out for and do not move across furrows, holes
and bumps. There is a higher risk that the product
overturns on ground that is not flat. Tall grass can
hide obstacles.
• Do not mow near edges, ditches or banks. The
product can suddenly overturn if a wheel moves over
the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge
gives way. If the product falls into water there is a
risk of drowning.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tires can
lose their grip so that the product skids.
• Do not put your foot on the ground to try to make the
product more stable.
