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.
