•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises
that change the operating angle, as rough terrain
could overturn the machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill because
the mower may tip backwards.
•
Be aware that loss of traction may occur going
downhill. Weight transfer to the front wheels
may cause drive wheels to slip and cause loss of
braking and steering.
•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a
slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and proceed slowly off the slope.
•
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
for wheel weights or counterweights to improve
stability.
•
Use extreme care with attachments. These can
change the stability of the machine and cause loss
of control.
Using the Rollover-Protection
System (ROPS)
•
Keep the roll bar in the raised and locked position
and use the seat belt when operating the machine.
•
Be certain that the seat belt can be released
quickly in the event of an emergency.
•
Be aware there is no rollover protection when the
roll bar is down.
•
Check the area to be mowed and never fold the
ROPS in areas where there are slopes, drop offs
or water.
•
Lower the rollbar only when absolutely necessary.
Do not wear the seat belt with the roll bar
folded down.
•
Check carefully for overhead clearances (i.e.
branches, doorways, electrical wires) before
driving under any objects and do not contact them.
