• A void starting, stopping or turning the machine on
slopes. A void making sudden changes in speed or
direction; turn slowly and gradually .
• Do not operate a machine under any conditions
where traction, steering or stability is in question.
Be aware that operating the machine on wet
grass, across slopes or downhill may cause the
machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the
drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of
braking and steering. The machine can slide even
if the drive wheels are stopped.
• Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes,
ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden hazards. T all
grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine.
• Use extra care while operating with accessories or
attachments, such as grass collection systems.
These can change the stability of the machine
and cause a loss of control. Follow directions for
counter weights.
• If possible, keep the deck lowered to the ground
while operating on slopes. Raising the deck while
operating on slopes can cause the machine to
become unstable.
