Safety Recommendations - Texas XC160-102HC Bedienungsanleitung

Never use reverse to reduce speed going
downhill: this could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle, especially on slippery ground.
5.6 Transporting
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer,
use suitable equipment for lifting and enough
people for the weight involved and the type of lifting
system used. The machine must never be lifted by
rope and tackle. During transport, close the fuel
stopcock, lower the cutting deck, apply the parking
brake and fasten the machine securely with ropes
or chains to the hauling device.
5.7 Lawn maintenance
1. To keep a lawn green, soft and attractive, it should
be cut regularly without damaging the grass. A
lawn can be composed of different types of grass.
If the lawn is cut frequently, grass and roots grow
more vigorously, forming a solid grassy bed. If the
lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and
weeds start growing (plus daisies and clovers,
etc.).
2. It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
3. The blades must be in good condition and well
sharpened so that the grass is cut straight without
a ragged edge that leads to yellowing at the ends.
4. The engine must run at full speed, both to ensure a
sharp cut of the grass and to get the necessary
thrust to push the cuttings through the collector
channel.
5. The frequency of mowing should be in relation to
the rate of growth of the grass. The grass should
not be left to grow too much between one cut and
the next.
6. During hot and dry periods, the grass should be cut
a little higher to prevent the ground from drying out.
7. The best height of the grass on a well-kept lawn is
approx. 4-5 cm. With one cut, you do not need to
remove more than a third of the total height. If the
grass is very tall, it should be cut twice in 24 hours
period – the first time with the blades at maximum
height, possibly reducing the cutting width, and the
second cut at the desired height.
8. The appearance of the lawn will improve if you
alternate cutting in both directions.
9. If the collector system tends to get blocked with
grass, you should reduce the forward speed as it
may be too high for the condition of the grass. If the
problem persists, the probable causes are either
badly sharpened blades or deformed wings.
10. Be very careful when mowing near bushes or kerbs
as these could distort the horizontal position of the
cutting deck and damage its edge as well as the
blades.
6. Maintenance

6.1 Safety recommendations

Before cleaning or doing maintenance work,
take out the ignition key and read the relevant
instructions. Wear adequate clothing and work
gloves whenever your hands are at risk.
Never use the machine with worn or damaged
parts. Faulty or worn-out parts must always be
replaced and not repaired. Only use original
spare parts! Parts that are not of the same
quality can damage the equipment and affect
your safety and that of others.
Never dispose of used oil, fuel, batteries or
other pollutants in unauthorized places!

Lubrication depends usage and area (do before winter
storage).

At the first signs of wear, contact your dealer to replace
