can cause injury or death. It is necessary to cut the
grass carefully on all slopes. If you cannot reverse
up a slope or if you do not feel safe, do not cut it.
• Remove stones, branches and other obstacles.
• Cut up and down the slope, not from side to side.
• Do not move down a slope with the cutting deck
lifted.
• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.
• Do not start or stop on a slope.
• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Do not turn more than necessary. Turn slowly and
gradually when you move down a slope. Move at low
speed. Turn the wheel carefully.
• Look out for and do not move across furrows, holes
and bumps. There is a higher risk that the product
overturns on ground that is not flat. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks. The
product can suddenly overturn if a wheel moves
across the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an
edge gives way. If the product falls into water, there
is a risk of drowning.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tires can
lose their grip so that the product skids.
• Do not put your foot on the ground to try to make the
product more stable.
• Move very carefully if an accessory or other object is
attached that can make the product less stable.
• To make the product more stable, attach wheel
weights or counterweights. Speak to your dealer for
more information. On Rider 316T AWD, Rider 316Ts
517 - 001 - 17.01.2018
AWD, Rider 316TXs AWD, use counterweights since
wheel weights can not be used on AWD products.
Fuel safety
WARNING: Be careful with fuel. It is very
flammable, and can cause injury and
damage to property.
WARNING: Read the warning instructions
that follow before you use the product.
• Do not fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Gasoline and gasoline fumes are poisonous and
very flammable. Be careful with gasoline to prevent

• Do not remove the fuel tank cap or fill the fuel tank
when the engine is on.
• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.
• Do not smoke when you fill fuel.
• Do not fill fuel near sparks or naked flames.

clean up the spill and wait until it is dry before you
start the engine. If you spill on your clothing, change
it.
