5.5 USING ON SLOPES
When mowing lawns on a slope, observe
the maximum gradients already men-
tioned (
max 10° - 17%
) and move up and
down but never across them. Take great
care when changing direction that the
highest wheels do not hit obstacles (such
as stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may
cause the machine to slide sideways, tip
over or otherwise cause loss of control.
SLOW DOWN BEFORE CHANGING DIRECTION ON
SLOPES. Never use reverse to reduce speed going downhill: you may
lose control of the machine, particularly on slippery surfaces. Never ride
the machine on slopes in neutral or with the clutch out! Always engage a
low gear and the parking brake before leaving the machine at a stopped
and unattended.
Take care when beginning forward movement on sloping
ground to prevent the risk of tipping up.
Reduce the forward speed before going on a slope, particularly downhill.
5.6 TRANSPORTING
If the machine is transported on a truck or trailer, use
suitable equipment for lifting and an appropriate number of people for the
weight involved and the type of lifting system used. The machine must
never be lifted by rope and tackle. During transport, lower the cutting
deck, engage the parking brake and fasten the machine securely to the
hauling device with ropes or chains.
