If there is a risk of slipping on a slope, have a
second person who holds the machine with a bar
or a rope. The second person must stand above
the machine at a safe distance from the hazard
zone.
Work across the slope along contour lines if
possible. If possible, turn the machine in uphill
direction.
When mowing/mulching, only work uphill to clear
the headland.
Never work downhill. The machine could
start slipping.
Never try to stop a slipping ma-
chine. The machine is too heavy. You can not
hold it. If possible, steer the machine across the
slope. Release the safety lever to activate the
safety circuit.
Turn the machine only in uphill direc-
tion!
Mowing flat surfaces
Mowing on slopes
Parking the machine on a slope
The machine rolls downhill when
you set the wheel switching to "O" on a
slope. Always position the machine such
that it is across the slope, and/or leave
wheel switching ON.
The machine rolls downhill at in-
creasing speed when wheel switching is
not switched on!
To move downhill, follow a diagonal
route across he slope.
Starting the engine on a slope
When you start the engine, leave
the wheel drive switched on -> braking
effect.
