Safety instructions for operation on slopes
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use
the product.
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents.
Operation on slopes requires extra caution.
•
Travel in the manufacturer recommended
direction on slopes. Use caution while operating
near dropoffs.
•
Avoid mowing wet grass. The tires can lose
traction.
•
Do not operate product under any condition
where traction, steering, or stability is in question.
Tires could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
•
Always keep the product in gear when going
down slopes. Do not coast downhill.
•
Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid
making sudden changes in speed or direction.
Make turns slowly and gradually.
•
If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades
and continue slowly straight down the slope.
•
Use extra care while operating product with a
grass catcher or other attachment(s). They can
affect the stability of the product.
•
To cut grass on slopes increases the risk that
you can not control the product and that it
overturns. This 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 the grass on the slope up and down, not
from side to side.
•
Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.
•
Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
•
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.
Keep at least the width of the machine away
from these hazards. 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.
