SLOPE GAUGE (MANEJO EN PENDIENTES)
(OK)
Figure 1
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Remove this page and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole,
building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object (See Figure
1 and Figure 2 ).
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the slope
(See Figure 1 and Figure 2).
5. If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for safe
operation (See Figure 2 above).
WARNING!
over and roll-over accidents which can result in severe injury
or death. Do not operate machine on slopes in excess of 15
degrees. All slopes require extra caution. Always mow across the
face of slopes, never mow up and down slopes.
