Working on slopes
Slope capability
Petrol engine: ±
max
= 45°, see page 19
Diesel engine: ±
max
= 20°, see page 20
Observe the operating instructions of the
implements and the safety instructions.
Depending on the type of ground sur-
face (vegetation, humidity ...), wear suitable
shoes so that you do not slip or fall.
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.
Starting the engine on a slope
Use the following procedure if you have to re-
start a stalled engine:
•
Actuate the parking brake
•
Set clutch and safety circuit to "Start posi-
tion"
•
Restart the engine
Notes on mowing/mulching
When mowing/mulching, only work uphill
to clear the headland.
Never work downhill. The machine could
start slipping. Never try to stop a slipping
machine. 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.
