HILLSIDE OPERATION _____________________________________________________

!
WARNING
To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest
method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel
up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not
across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary
turns, travel at reduced speeds, stay alert for hidden
hazards, and drop offs.
To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or
stop suddenly on slopes. Reduce speed when making
sharp turns. Use caution when changing directions.
!
WARNING
Do not operate this unit on slopes greater than 15°
The unit has been designed for good traction and stability
under normal operating conditions; however, use caution
while operating on slopes, especially when the sand or
grass is wet. Wet terrain reduces traction and steering
control.
1. Always operate with the engine at full throttle. Control
groomer speed using traction pedal.
2. If the unit tends to slide or the tires begin to "mark"
the terrain, angle unit into a less steep grade until
traction is regained or tire marking stops.
3. If unit continues to slide or mark the terrain, the
grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make
another attempt to climb, raise rake, and back down
slowly.
4. Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum
traction.
