CHAPTER 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION

4. OPERATION ON A SLOPE
DANGER : Slopes are a major factor related
to accidents with front mowers, resulting in
severe injuries.
We cannot recomended the front mower with mower
deck be oparated on a slope. All slopes require extra
caution; no slope is safe.
You can lose control of the front mower on a slope
because of one of the following:
- the wheels lack traction; you are driving the front
mower too fast.
- you are not braking properly; the front mower type is
not suited for the task.
- you are unaware of the ground conditions (especially
slopes).
- you incorrectly hitch an attachment or distribute a load
If the front mower has to be used on a slope, Never
use it on a slope of more than "10° ". Even if using it
on a slope of less than "10° ", be sure to abide by the
foiiowing instructions.
A slope angle of 10° is specified with the front mowers
equipped with the attachments mentioned respectively.
- The front mower is not equipped with any attachments
or a cabin.
- The front mower is equipped with a standard mower
deck.
Grass catchers and other attachments can change the
stability of the front mower. Follow the instructions for
adding weight to improve the stability of the front mower.
When your front mower is equipped with an implement
other than standard, such as a cabin, etc., never fail to
ask your dealer about machine balance. Always follow
their advice.
If a rollover protection system (ROPS) is available
for your front mower, we recommended that you use
a ROPS if you will operate the front mower on steep
slopes. A ROPS consists of both a rollover protection
device and a seat belt. Always wear the seat belt with
your ROPS; do not use the seat belt unless the rollover
protection device is also properly installed.
4.1. Be sure to wear a helmet during operation.
4.2. If you feel uneasy operating your front mower on
a slope, do not mow it.
4.3. Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories
and attachments you will need to be safe.
4.4. D o n o t m o w n e a r d r o p - o ff s , d i t c h e s , o r
embankments. You can tip the front mower over
if a wheel is over the edge of a drop-off or if an
edge caves in. Uneven terrain can cause the
lawnmower to overturn.
