Operating On Slopes - Briggs & Stratton Snapper PRO SS200 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

While traveling forward allow one handle to gradually return
back toward neutral. Repeat several times.
Note: To prevent pivoting directly on the tire tread, it is best to
keep both wheels going at least slightly forward.
Practice Turning In Place

To turn in place, "Zero-Turn," gradually move one ground
speed control lever forward from neutral and one lever back
from neutral simultaneously. Repeat several times.
Note: Changing the amount each lever is pulled—forward or
back, changes the "pivot point" you turn on.

Executing an End-Of-Row Zero Turn
18
14
Your zero-turn riding mower's unique ability to turn in place
allows you to turn around at the end of a cutting row rather
than having to stop and Y-turn before starting a new row.
For example, to execute a left end-of row zero turn:
1. Slow down at the end of the row.
2. Move the RIGHT ground speed control lever forward
slightly while moving the LEFT ground speed control lever
back to center and then slightly back from center.
3. Begin mowing forward again.
This technique turns the rider LEFT and slightly overlaps
the row just cut, eliminating the need to back up and re-cut
missed grass.
As you become more familiar and experienced with operating
the zero-turn riding mower, you will learn more maneuvers
that will make your mowing time easier and more enjoyable.
Remember, the more you practice, the better your control
of the Zero Turn will be!

Operating on Slopes

Learn how to operate the stand-on mower on slopes and
use your body position to improve traction and control of
the mower.
Operation on slopes can be dangerous. Slopes are a major
factor related to accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Using the unit on a slope that is too steep where you
do not have adequate wheel traction (and control) can cause
sliding, loss of steering, control, and possible rollover. If you
feel unsure about operating the unit on a slope, don't do it. It's
not worth the risk.
Mow across slopes, NOT up and down:
• Lean your body slightly rearward and towards the uphill
side drive wheel, while keeping a firm grip on the control
levers. This body position adds more weight to the uphill
side drive wheel to maximize traction and control.
• Do NOT accelerate quickly, as this may cause the
mower's front wheels to come off the ground.
Mow up and down slopes (only if you cannot mow across
the slope):
