Danger Zone
Danger Zone
W
Staying in the danger zone of the
machine during starting and operation is
not permitted.
If the operator should notice that a person
or animal is staying within this area, the
machine must be shut down without delay
and must not be operated again before the
area is free again.
The user is liable to third parties working
within the ride-on brushcutter’s working
range.
Working on Slopes
W
To prevent the machine from sliding
on slopes make sure it is secured by
another person using a bar o a rope. This
person must stay at a higher position than
the vehicle and at a safe distance from the
attachment at work!
l
if possible, always work cross to the slo-
pe!
l
Do not drive on slopes greater than 20 °.
Please be aware that there is no such thing as
a "safe" slope. Driving on grass-covered slo-
pes requires particular attention. In order to
protect against rolling over you should:
l
only drive if the ground conditions allow - on
damp grass there is insufficient adhesion for
the wheels
l
not suddenly stop or start if you are driving
up- or downhill
l
maintain a low driving speed on slopes and
in sharp curves
l
pay attention to mounds and dips and other
dangers which may not be obvious.
