3.07 - Uneven Terrain
WARNING: be careful of roll-over when operating tractor and spreader over
uneven ground.
In extremely uneven terrain rear wheel weights, front tractor weights, and/or tire ballast
should be used to improve stability.
When operating over uneven terrain, observe the type of terrain and develop a safe
working pattern. Whenever traction or stability is doubtful, first test drive over the
terrain.
Operate the spreader up and down steep slopes, not across slopes, to prevent the
tractor from tipping. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and slow down before changing
directions on a slope.
Pass diagonally through sharp dips and avoid sharp drops to prevent hanging up the
tractor and spreader.
Slow down on sharp turns and slopes to prevent tipping or loss of control.
Watch for holes, roots or other hidden objects. Do not use near the edge of a gully,
ditch or stream bank.
