USING ON SLOPING GROUND
Do not use the machine on slopes on slopes with longitudinal
gradients greater than 15° (27%).
Risk of overturning on steep gradients.
1. Only mow on slopes with gradients up to the maximum already mentioned.
2. Lawns on a slope must be mowed moving up and down and never across them.
3. When changing direction, take great care that the wheels facing up the slope do
not hit any obstacles (such as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may cause the
machine to slide sideways, tip over or make you lose control.
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION ON SLOPES!
Always engage the Park Brake Lever (14) before leaving the machine at a standstill
and unattended.
Start moving forwards very carefully on sloping ground to prevent the
risk of tipping over. Reduce the forward speed before going on a slope, particularly
downhill.
Never use reverse R to reduce speed going downhill. This could cause
you to lose control of the vehicle, especially on slippery ground.
Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral gear or with the clutch out!
Always engage in low gear before leaving the machine stopped and unattended.
