The machine may not be driven on slo-
pes greater than 10º (17%), in any di-
rection.
Remember there is no such thing as a
"safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes re-
quires particular care. To avoid roll-over
of losing control of the machine:
a. do not stop or start suddenly when going up
or downhill;
b. engage the drive slowly and always keep the
machine in gear, especially when travelling
downhill;
c. machine speeds should be kept low on slo-
pes and during tight turns;
d. Beware of humps, hollows and other hidden
dangers;
e. Never mow across the face of the slope.
When mowing on a slope, proceed up and
down the slope as opposed to across it, ta-
king great care when changing direction that
the first wheels do not hit obstacles (such
as stones, branches, roots, etc.), that may
cause the machine to slide sideways, roll
over or otherwise cause loss of control.
Reduce speed before any change of
direction on slopes and always enga-
ge the parking brake before leaving the
machine stopped and unattended.
exercise caution in the proximity of clif-
fs, ditches or embankments. The machi-
ne may overturn if a wheel drives over
the edge or the edge gives way.
Exercise maximum caution when re-
versing and working in reverse. Look
behind you both before and during re-
versing to make sure there are no ob-
stacles.
Use care when pulling loads or using
heavy equipment:
a. use only approved drawbar hitch points;
b. limit loads to those you can safely control;
c. Do not make any sudden turns. Use care
when reversing;
d. use counterweight(s) or wheel weights whe-
never advised in the instructions manual.
Disengage the cutter blade or PTO and
lift the cutting deck assy to its highest
position when crossing grass-free are-
as or when moving from one area to
another.
