A = Maximum Allowable Slope.
How to calculate a slope
Tools:
Spirt level 1 metre long.
Tape measure.
With the spirt level (A) positioned horizontally measure the distance (C) with tape measure (B) Use the chart to
calculate either the slope angle or the% grade D of the slope.
If it is necessary to mow across a short slope, ensure
the right hand cutting unit is the lowest.
WARNING
When the machine is being used, whether
cutting grass or not, on slopes, the ROPS
frame should be deployed and the seat belt
used.
This rationale is based on the fact that a seat
be lt must be worn with a ROPS to comply with
the Machiney Directive 2006/42/EC sections
3.2.2, Seating & 3.4.3, Rollover
Ransomes Jacobsen Limited recommends
that a local risk assessment is completed by
the owner/user of the machine to determine
the risks associated with working on slopes.
