Cutting Extreme Contours
Warning
WARNING!
Always use a drive unit equipped with ROPS.
Always wear your seat belt.
The Articulator cuts contoured areas well, producing a quality of cut which rivals that of a
single push mower.
The basic rule of thumb to use when judging the ability of the Articulator to handle a con-
toured area is to cut the area with a 21" push mower set at the same height as the Articu-
lator. If the mower cuts without scalping, the Articulator will be able to handle the area.
When cutting extreme contours, always use a drive unit equipped with a ROPS,
and always wear your seat belt.
Following are important guidelines to follow when cutting extreme contours or side hills:
Never exceed the drive unit manufacturer's maximum side slope ratings.
Always use a drive unit equipped with a ROPS.
Always wear your seatbelt.
Do not operate the Articulator in areas which are so extremely contoured that it
causes the PTO shaft chatter or vibrate.
4.8
Cutting Wet Grass
Operation of the Articulator is not adversely affected by wet cutting conditions. However,
a slower ground speed is recommended for improved grass discharge and reduced turf
tear.
If, when cutting excessively wet or tall grass at reduced ground speed, you still do not get
adequate grass discharge, consider making two passes over the area.
