SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OPERATION Continued.
Do not use on a slope of more than 14 degrees. Care should be taken when using the mower on any slope
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.
Stability angles given are maximum figures for a machine equipped with a R.O.P.S and are for guidance
only. Particular conditions such as wet grass or uneven ground may not permit safe operation on the
slope limits 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.
