During Operation Safety (continued)

• Operate up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight

distribution changes with a full hopper. A full hopper makes the front of the machine the

heavy end, so walk behind the machine with the full hopper uphill.

• Identify hazards at the base of the slope. Do not operate the machine near drop-offs,

ditches, embankments, water or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a

wheel or track goes over the edge or the edge collapses. Keep a safe distance (twice the

width of the machine) between the machine and any hazard.

• Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on a slope. Avoid making sudden

changes in speed or direction; turn slowly and gradually.

• Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed

or direction.

• Do not operate the machine under any conditions where traction, steering, or stability is

in question. Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes or downhill

may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the wheels or tracks may

result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering. The machine can slide even if the

wheels or tracks are stopped.

• Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden

hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.

• If you lose control of the machine, step off and away from the direction of travel of the

machine.
