• Avoid changes of direction on slopes. Turn around
on slopes only if this is unavoidable; if possible, drive
slowly and in a wide arc in the downward direction.
• Do not mow wet grass, especially on slopes, as
grip is reduced on wet grass. The petrol ride-on
lawnmower could slip and therefore no longer be
controlled by the user.
• When driving on slopes, the transmission must not
be unlocked by means of the gear freewheel.
• Special care must be taken when operating attach-
ment devices on slopes (altered weight distribution
on the device).
• If the wheels should spin or if the vehicle gets stuck
when travelling up a slope, disengage the mowing
blade or attachment device. Afterwards, the slope
is to be left in a slow downward and straight direc-
tion.
• Never try to stabilise the petrol ride-on lawnmower
by supporting it with your foot on the ground.
• The weight of the catch basket increases the risk of
tipping, especially when it is full.
• Never empty or lift the catch basket on an inclined
plane.
