IF A SLOPE IS TOO STEEP FOR SAFE OPERATION!
To check the slope, proceed as follows:
1. Remove this page and fold along the dashed line.
2. Locate a vertical object on or behind the slope (e.g. a pole, building, fence, tree, etc.)
3. Align either side of the slope gauge with the object (see Figure 1and Figure 2).
4. Adjust gauge up or down until the left corner touches the slope (see Figure 1and Figure 2).
If there is a gap below the gauge, the slope is too steep for safe operation (see Figure 2 above)
Slopes are a major factor related to tip-over and accidents, which can result injury or death. Do not
operate machine on slope in excess of 15 degrees, All slopes require extra caution.
Always mow across the face of slopes, never up and down slopes.

5.6 TRANSPORTING
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, use suitable equipment for lifting and enough people for
the weight involved and the type of lifting system used.
The machine must never be lifted by rope and tackle. During transport, close the fuel stopcock, lower the
cutting deck, apply the parking brake and fasten the machine securely with ropes or chains to the hauling
device.
5.7 LAWN MAINTENANCE
1.
To keep a lawn green, soft and attractive, it should be cut regularly without damaging the grass. A lawn can be
composed of different types of grass. If the lawn is cut frequently, grass and roots grow more vigorously, forming a
solid grassy bed. If the lawn is cut is less frequently, higher grass and weeds start growing (plus daisies and
clovers, etc.).
2.
It is always better to cut the grass when dry.
