Mowing - Honda UM536 Owner's Manual

On slopes
When mowing on a slope, be sure to lock the front wheel securely with the
wheel lock pin so that it cannot move from side to side.
To lock the wheel:
Position the front wheel so that it is right beneath the wheel stays. Remove the
clip and press the lock pin into place. If difficulty is encountered in inserting the
lock pin, move the wheel right or left to align the pin hole. Be sure to install the
clip securely.
FRONT WHEEL STAY
• When mowing on a slope, cut across the slope (at equally spaced
intervals) rather than up and down it.
• Be very careful when changing the direction of the mower on a slope.
• Do not use the mower on a slope of more than 20° (36%).
• Always reduce speed on a slope.
• On an ascending slope, it may happen that the mower does not go back,
due to locking of wheels, even if the drive clutch lever is released. In this
case, unlock the wheels by slightly pressing the mower forward. If you
are not careful doing this, the mower may move abruptly causing you
danger.
• When mowing on an uneven surface, always reduce the ground speed,
grip the mower's handles firmly and watch your step.
