Slope Safety

Review the traction unit specifications to ensure that you do not exceed its slope capabilities.
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution.
Review and understand the slope instructions in the manual and on the traction unit.
Evaluate the site conditions to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation, including surveying the site. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.
Review the slope instructions listed below for operating the machine on slopes and to determine whether you can operate the machine in the conditions on that day and at that site. Changes in the terrain can result in a change in slope operation for the machine.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on slopes. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction. Make turns slowly and gradually.
Do not operate a machine under any conditions where traction, steering, or stability are in question.
Remove or mark obstructions such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstructions. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes, or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the drive wheels may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering.
Use extreme caution when operating the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water hazards, or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Establish a safety area between the machine and any hazard.
Identify hazards at the base of the slope. If there are hazards, mow the slope with a power walk-behind mower.
If possible, keep the attachment lowered to the ground while operating on slopes. Raising the attachment while operating on slopes can cause the machine to become unstable.
Use extreme caution with other attachments. These can change the stability of the machine and cause a loss of control. Always keep the machine in gear when going down slopes. Do not coast downhill (applicable only to gear-drive units).

Transporting the Attachment

To begin transport operation, raise the attachment and disengage the PTO. To avoid loss of control, traverse steep inclines slowly, approach rough areas at reduced speed and cross severe undulations carefully.
