SLOPE

OPERATION

Slopes

are

a

major

factor

related

to

loss

of

control

and

tip-over

accidents

which

can

result

in

severe

injury

or

death.

All

slopes

require

extra

caution.

If

you

cannot

back

up

the

slope

or

if

you

feel

uneasy

on

it,

do

not

mow

it.

DO:

Mow

up

and

down

slopes,

not

across.

Remove

obstacles

such

as

rocks,

limbs,

etc.

Watch

for

holes,

ruts

or

bumps.

Uneven

terrain

could

overturn

the

machine.

Tall

grass

can

hldo

obstacles.

Use

slow

speed.

Choose

a

low

enough

gear

so

that

you

will

not

have

to

stop

or

shift

while

on

the

slope.

Always

keep

tractor

in

gear

when

going

down

slopes

to

take

advantage

of

engine

braking

action.

Follow

the

manufacturer’s

recommendations

for

wheel

weights

or

counterweights

to

improve

stability.

Use

extra

care

with

grass

catchers

or

other

attachments.

These

can

change

the

stability

of

the

machine.

Keep

ail

movement

on

the

slopes

slow

and

gradual.

Do

not

make

sudden

changes

in

speed

or

direction.

Rapid

engagement

or

brak¬

ing

could

cause

the

front

of

the

machine

to

lift

and

rapidly

flip

over

backwards

which

could

cause

serious

injury.

Avoid

starting

or

stopping

on

a

slope.

If

tires

lose

traction,

disen¬

gage

the

blade(s)

and

proceed

slowly

straight

down

the

slope.

For

your

safety,

use

the

slope

gauge

included

as

part

of

this

manual

to

measure

slopes

before

operating

this

unit

on

a

sloped

or

hilly

area.

If

the

slope

is

greater

than

15°

as

shown

on

the

slope

gauge,

do

not

operate

this

unit

on

that

area

or

serious

injury

could

result.

3

RULES

FOR

SAFE

OPERATION

(continued)

DO

NOT:

Do

not

turn

on

slopes

unless

necessary;

then,

turn

slowly

and

gradually

downhill,

if

possible.

Do

not

mow

near

drop-offs,

ditches

or

embankments.

A

wheel

over

the

edge

or

an

edge

caving

in

could

cause

sudden

overturn.

Do

not

mow

on

wet

grass.

Reduced

traction

could

cause

sliding.

Do

not

try

to

stabilize

the

machine

by

putting

your

foot

on

the

ground.

Do

not

use

grass

catcher

on

steep

slopes.

III.

CHILDREN

Tragic

accidents

can

occur

if

the

operator

is

not

alert

to

the

pres¬

ence

of

children.

Children

are

often

attracted

to

the

machine

and

the

mowing

activity.

Never

assume

that

children

will

remain

where

you

last

saw

them.

1.

Keep

children

out

of

the

mowing

area

and

in

watchful

care

of

an

adult

other

than

the

operator.

2.

Be

alert

and

turn

machine

off

if

children

enter

the

area.

3.

Before

and

when

backing,

look

behind

and

down

for

small

chil¬

dren.

4.

Never

carry

children.

They

may

fall

off

and

be

seriously

injured

or

interfere

with

the

safe

machine

operation.

5.

Never

allow

children

under

14

years

old

to

operate

the

under

close

parental

supervision

and

proper

instruc¬

tion.

6.

extra

care

when

approaching

blind

corners,

shrubs,

trees

or

other

objects

that

may

obscure

vision.
