Tips for proper mowing
Working on slopes:
Slopes are one of the major causes of accidents in which control over the ride-on
mower is lost causing it to tip over, which can result in severe or even fatal injuries.
There is no „safe“slope! Driving on grassy slopes requires special concentration. For
safety reasons, the machine must not be used on slopes with an inclination of more
than 10° (17.6 %). Risk of injury!
A slope inclination of 10° corresponds to a vertical height increase of 17.6 cm for a 100
cm horizontal distance.
Starting off or stopping on a gradient must be avoided.
Do not use the machine in places (slopes, ditches, etc.) where the ride-on mower can
tip over or slide. The danger of tipping over or sliding increases if the ground is soft or
damp.
Slopes must be driven on in a longitudinal direction. Driving transversely increases the
danger of tipping over.
Do not change speed or direction abruptly when driving on slopes. Work in this type of
situation requires calm, cautious and even operation of the ride-on mower.
Changes of direction on slopes must be avoided. Only turn on slopes if this is
