HOW TO CALCULATE A SLOPE
Tools:
Spirit level 1 metre long.
Tape measure.
With the spirit level (A) positioned horizontally measure the distance (C) with tape measure (B). Using the chart
determine the angle of the ground.
WARNING
When the machine is being used, whether
cutting grass or not, on slopes, the ROPS
frame must be deployed and the seat belt
used.
This rationale is based on the fact that a seat
belt must be worn with a ROPS to comply with
the Machinery 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.
