Ground Speed
The Lastec Mower is designed to cut cleanly and efficiently at relatively high ground
speeds. Reduced ground speed is required when operating on severe contours, when
cutting excessively tall, wet, or thick grass, or when traveling up or down large or steep
hills. Maximum ground speed is intended for transport to and from the work site only, and
should not be attempted during any cutting operation.
Attempting to change directions at high ground speed, whether cutting or transporting,
can cause damage to the turf, especially in wet conditions. Direction changes should be
made by slowing to a near or complete stop (releasing the foot pedal to neutral position),
and slowly turning the steering wheel to begin travel in the desired direction. This pre-
vents turf damage, as well as prolonging equipment life and promoting safer operation of
the Lastec Mower.
High speed travel over rough terrain with the outer decks in transport mode will result in
equipment damage.
