Driving on slopes

Driving on slopes is one of the situations where there is the most serious risk that the driver can loose control or that the machine tips over, which can cause severe injuries or be fatal. All slopes require extra care. If you cannot reverse up the slope or if you feel uncertain avoid cutting it.

Do as follows:

•Remove obstacles such as stones and branches etc.

•Cut upwards and downwards, not sideways.

•Look out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes or mounds. On uneven surfaces it is easier for the machine to tip over. High grass can conceal obstacles.

•Drive slowly. Select a low gear to avoid having to stop and changing gear. It is also easier to use the gear to brake in a low gear.

•Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheel weights or counterweights to increase stability.

•Be extra careful with the grass collector or other equipment which can alter the stability of the machine.

•Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes. Avoid sudden changes of speed or direction.

•Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres begin to skid switch off the blades and drive slowly down the slope.

Do not do the following:

•Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if turning is necessary turn slowly and gradually, downwards if possible.
