CHAPTER 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION

4. OPERATION ON A SLOPE
DANGER : Slopes are a major factor related
to accidents with front mowers, resulting in
severe injuries.
We cannot recommend the front mower with mower
deck be operated on a slope. All slopes require extra
caution; no slope is safe.
You can lose control of the front mower on a slope
because of one of the following:
- the wheels lack traction; you are driving the front
mower too fast.
- you are not braking properly; the front mower type is
not suited for the task.
- you are unaware of the ground conditions (especially
slopes).
- you incorrectly hitch an attachment or distribute a load
If the front mower has to be used on a slope, DO NOT
use it on a slope of more than "12° ". Even if using it
on a slope of less than "12° ", be sure to abide by the
following instructions.
A slope angle of 12° is specified with the front mowers
equipped with the attachments mentioned respectively.
- The front mower is not equipped with any attachments
or a cabin than a standard mower deck and collector.
- The front mower is equipped with a standard mower
deck and collector.
Grass catchers and other attachments can change the
stability of the front mower. Follow the instructions for
adding weight to improve the stability of the front mower.
When your front mower is equipped with an implement
other than standard, such as a cabin, etc., never fail to
ask your dealer about machine balance. Always follow
their advice.
The ROPS is a safety device.
- Keep the ROPS in the vertical and locked position.
Always use the seat belt when you operate the mower.
Make sure the seat belt can be released quickly in an
emergency.
- The ROPS should only be folded if absolutely
necessary for storage. Do not operate the mower with
the ROPS in the folded position. There is no roll over
protection with the ROPS in the folded position.
- Do not use the seat belt with the ROPS in the folded
position.
- Do not remove the ROPS from the mower.
