free the tractor to prevent tractor upset.
2. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a maj or factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents which can result in severe
injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy
on it, do not operate this unit on that area or serious
injury could result.
DO:
• Operate up and down slopes, not across.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes , ruts or bumps. U neven terrain
could overturn the mac hine. Tal l grass c an hid e
such obstacles.
• Place the transmis sion in the low range. when
climbing or descending slopes. Always keep
machine in gear when going down slopes to
take advantage of engine braking action.
• Follow the manufactu rers recommendations for
counterweights to improve stability.
• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and
gradual. Do not make sudden changes in
speed or direction. Rapid engagement or
braking could cause t he front of the mac hine to
lift and rapidly fli p over backwards which coul d
cause serious injury.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires
lose traction, disen gage the PTO and proceed
slowly straight down the slope.
DO NOT:
• Do not turn on slopes un less necessary; then,
turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or
embankments. The mower could su ddenly turn
over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or
ditch, or if an edge caves in.
3. CHILDREN
