TURFCO T3000 APPLICATOR
Climbing Curbs
(See Figure 6)
Now that you are familiar with driving the T3000 Applicator, you are ready to try all the same turns and
maneuvers you learned in the parking lot on the lawn. Now you are ready to move up into the lawn and
practice turns, trimming, getting close around trees and obstacles.
You should always use curb cuts or driveways when ever possible. But, in the case they are not
available you should know how to climb a curb with the machine.
You should always dismount when
climbing curbs or other obstacles with the machine.
Hold the steering wheel firmly and advance the
machine slowly until the entire machine is on the lawn. Stop and remount the machine.
1. Approach the curb at a 45º degree angle. Stop the machine a few inches from the curb.
2. Dismount the machine keeping your hands on the support bar and steering wheel
3. Hold the steering wheel firmly and
slowly
advance the speed of the machine.
4. The machine should slowly climb over the curb. The operator may remount as soon as the machine
is on top of the curb.
5. The same technique is used for going down over a curb.
The Turfco T3000 Applicator is not designed to be operated on any incline
or slope exceeding 15º Degrees. Operation on inclines of more than 15º
degrees can result in injury and/or damage to the machine.
Operation on inclines exceeding the 15º degree limit can cause spillage of
materials
