SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.8

OPERATION Continued.

Do not use on a slope of more than 19 degrees. Where ground conditions are such that there may be a risk of the mower rolling over, the requirements of SI 1998 No 2306 "Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations" should be considered, refer - INTRODUCTION - Optional Extras.

Ground conditions affect traction. Particular conditions may not permit safe operation on the slope limits stated.

Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To guard against overturning or loss of traction when travelling or mowing on a slope:

-Exercise extreme care when changing direction on a slope.

-Do not stop or start suddenly.

-Engage drive slowly.

-Keep machine speed low.

-Avoid tight turns.

-Stay alert for humps, hollows and other hidden hazards.

-Keep away from sharp inclines and steep drops.

-A thorough risk assessment should be carried out by a competent person before travelling or mowing on a slope.

Never park on a slope.
