SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Driving on slopes

Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or if you feel unsure, do not mow it.

Proceed as follows:

Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.

Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.

Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than 15°.

Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres start to slip, stop the blades and drive slowly down the slope.

Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes.

Do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction.

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

Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Drive slowly. Do not turn the wheel sharply. The machine engine-brakes better in low gear.

Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can change the stability of the machine.

Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The machine can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives way.

Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and the tyres can lose their grip so that the machine skids.

Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground.

When cleaning under the machine, it may never be driven near verges or ditches.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase stability.
