Slopes & Uneven Terrain

WARNING! Never operate your machine on slopes greater than 20 degrees. When operating the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM over uneven terrain and slopes, use EXTREME CAUTION to not tip over the machine. Move slowly, especially with a full load, if the ground has ruts, bumps and other depressions.

Do not use the DR LEAF and LAWN VACUUM on slopes greater than 20 degrees. Doing so could result in serious injury or damage to your machine (Figure 30).

On a slope, a heavy load will
tend to shift. When using your
DR	LEAF	and	LAWN	20° MAX
VACUUM, keep in mind that
loads tend to shift to the				Figure 30
downhill side of the Collector
Box. The higher and heavier
the load, the greater the
chance the machine may tip
over.
Travel	up and	down	slopes

(Figure 30) and avoid going across slopes. This is the same recommendation for mowing with your lawn tractor alone.
