2.2
Slope Operation
Operation on slopes, hills, and/or embankments is a key factor that can cause loss of control or tip over accidents
that can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. Country Clipper
recommends the operator survey the slope and terrain conditions prior to operating on or near a slope. Prudent
discretion and judgement should be exercised to ensure safe operation. Country Clipper mowers are designed to
maximize stability but as with all machines there are limitations. Grass, soil, and weather conditions along with
the slope and terrain impact the maximum slope that can be mowed. A slope should be evaluated prior to each
mowing to determine if conditions have changed that would lead to un-safe operation. Never operate on a slope
greater than 15 degrees.
2.24
Back-up and drive down slopes, not across the face of a slope.
2.25 Avoid holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Uneven terrain could result in loss of control or
overturn of the machine.
2.26 Avoid mowing on wet grass; the drive tires could lose traction.
2.27 Reduce speed and use gradual movements to start, stop and maneuver the mower.
2.28 To prevent loss of control on a slope avoid sharp turns, sudden changes in direction, and sudden stops
and starts. If tires loose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
2.29 If equipped with a grass catcher or other attachment use extra care; they can affect the stability. Avoid
using on steep slopes.
2.30 Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot or hand on the ground.
2.31 Do not mow or drive near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments; sudden roll-over could occur if a wheel
goes over the edge.
2.32 Avoid mowing slopes that have rocks, water, cliffs, and roadways at the bottom.
Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
2.33
Keep children out of the operating area and under the watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
2.34 Do not carry children, even with the blade(s) shut off. Children could fall off and be seriously injured or
interfere with safe machine operation. Children who have been given rides in the past could suddenly
appear in the mowing area for another ride and be run over or backed over by the machine.
2.35 Disengage blades and shut the engine off if a child enters the area.
2.36 Never allow children to operate the machine.
2.37 Never leave the running mower unattended, especially when children are present.
2.38 Always remove the ignition key when the mower is not in use.
2.39 Monitor the area for blind spots that may obstruct your view of a child (ie. corners, shrubs, trees,
ornaments, etc.)
Hauling
Caution should be exercised when loading and unloading a mower on a trailer or transport vehicle. Depending on
the trailer or transport vehicle; the ramp slope could cause loss of control or tip over.
2.40
Use full width ramps for loading and unloading a machine for transport.
2.41 Reduce speed and use gradual movements to start, stop and maneuver the mower up the trailer ramp.
2.42 Set the park brake and secure the mower with tie downs before transporting.
