SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OPERATION Continued.
Do not use on a slope of more than 19 degrees. Where ground conditions are such that there may be a
risk of the mower rolling over, the requirements of SI 1998 No 2306 "Provision and Use of Work
Equipment Regulations" should be considered, refer - INTRODUCTION - Optional Extras.
Ground conditions affect traction. Particular conditions may not permit safe operation on the slope lim-
its stated.
Remember there is no such thing as a "safe" slope. Travel on grass slopes requires particular care. To
guard against overturning or loss of traction when travelling or mowing on a slope:
- Exercise extreme care when changing direction on a slope.
- Do not stop or start suddenly.
- Engage drive slowly.
- Keep machine speed low.
- Avoid tight turns.
- Stay alert for humps, hollows and other hidden hazards.
- Keep away from sharp inclines and steep drops.
- A thorough risk assessment should be carried out by a competent
person before travelling or mowing on a slope.
Never park on a slope.
