Driving On Slopes - Husqvarna PT 26D Operator's Manual

Safety Instructions
• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always
wear protective shoes or protective boots,
preferably with steel toes.
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment close
at hand when using the machine.

Driving on slopes

Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the
risk of the driver losing control of the machine or of it
overturning is the greatest; this can result in serious
injury or death. All slopes demand extra care. If you
cannot reverse up a slope or if you feel unsure, do not
mow it.
WARNING:
Do not drive down slopes with the unit raised.
Control can be reduced due to the changed centre of
gravity.
Do as follows
• Remove obstacles such as stones, tree branches, etc.
• Mow up and down, not side-to-side.
16
Mow upwards and downwards on slopes, not sideways.
