Stopping Travel - Snapper RPX102 Owner's Manual

Changing the direction of travel forward-reverse is possible only after stopping the mower. If the mower is not still,
there is a danger of damaging the transmission.
Never use the travel pedal and the brake pedal at the same time – this may result in a malfunction of the transmission.
The system is equipped with an automatic mowing deck disengagement for reversing function at a speed higher than
0.3 m/s (approx. 1 km/hour).
In the event of intentional and controlled reversing with the mowing deck engaged, it is possible to disengage this safety function by
pressing the R button located next to the steering wheel. Then with every subsequent change in the travel direction from reverse to
forward, the disengagement of the mowing deck is reactivated.
When using the disengagement of this function with the R button, pay exceptional attention to the area behind
the mower when reversing.

5.5.2 STOPPING TRAVEL

The forward/reverse travel of the mower is stopped by gradually taking your foot off the travel pedal and subsequently stepping
on the brake pedal.
In the event that cruise control is engaged and the brake pedal is stepped on, it automatically moves to the neutral
position. The braking distance is shorter than 2 m.
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 multiple 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
Recommended speed
2 km/hour
3 – 5 km/hour
< 5 km/hour
< 8 km/hour
