Husqvarna Z572X Operator's Manual page 9

• 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.
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.

device. Do not remove or alter the ROPS.
• Keep a folding ROPS in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt when operating the

• Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when
absolutely necessary. Do not wear the seat belt
when folded down. There is no rollover protection
when a folding ROPS is in the down position.
• Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or
alter.

term exposure to noise can result in permanent
hearing impairment.
• Always wear protective shoes or protective
boots. Steel toes are recommended. Do not use
