Working On Slopes - Ransomes HR3300T Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual

7 OPERATION
If it is necessary to mow across a short slope, ensure the right hand cutting unit is the lowest.
When the machine is being used, whether
cutting grass or not, on slopes, the ROPS
frame should be deployed and the seat belt
This rationale is based on the fact that a seat
belt must be worn with a ROPS to comply
with the Machiney Directive 2006/42/EC
sections 3.2.2, Seating & 3.4.3, Rollover
Ransomes Jacobsen Limited recommends
that a local risk assessment is completed by
the owner/user of the machine to determine
the risks associated with working on slopes.
How to calculate a slope

Spirt level 1 metre long.
Tape measure.
