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

downhill side of the Collector

Box. The higher and heavier

 

the load, the greater the

 

chance the machine may tip

 

over.

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