•
Use a walk behind mower and/or a hand trimmer near drop-offs, ditches, steep
banks or water. This area can be dangerous, see Figure 1.
•
Progressively greater care is needed as the slope increases.
•
Always avoid sudden starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose traction,
disengage the blades and proceed slowly off the slope.
•
Avoid sudden starts when mowing uphill. 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.
•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change the operating
angle, as rough terrain could overturn the machine.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the mowing
area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
The operating characteristics of the machine will change with the Ultra Vac
QDS installed. The stability and traction of the machine will change as the
Ultra Vac QDS hopper fills with grass clippings. Use progressively greater
care on slopes as the hopper fills.
•
Always install and remove the Ultra Vac QDS, including counterweights, as
instructed. Failure to do so will cause a reduction in stability or traction. Do
not operate the mower with only a portion of the Ultra Vac QDS installed.
