if necessary, wash the machine, the inside of the
cutting deck, the collector channel and the grass-

5.5 USING ON SLOPING GROUND
Only mow on slopes with gradients up to the maximum already mentioned.
Lawns on a slope have to be mowed moving up and down and never across
them. 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 apply the parking brake 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 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 a low gear before leaving the machine stopped and unattended.
