Safety instructions for operation on slopes
WARNING: Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
Slopes are a major factor related to accidents. Operation
on slopes requires extra caution.
• Travel in the manufacturer recommended direction
on slopes. Use caution while operating near
dropoffs.
• Avoid mowing wet grass. The tires can lose traction.
• Do not operate product under any condition where
traction, steering, or stability is in question. Tires
could slide even if the wheels are stopped.
• Always keep the product in gear when going down
slopes. Do not coast downhill.
• Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid making
sudden changes in speed or direction. Make turns
slowly and gradually.
• Use extra care while operating product with a grass
catcher or other attachment(s). They can affect the
stability of the product.
• To cut grass on slopes increases the risk that you
can not control the product and that it overturns. This
can cause injury or death. It is necessary to cut the
grass carefully on all slopes. If you cannot reverse
up a slope or if you do not feel safe, do not cut it.
• Remove stones, branches and other obstacles.
• Cut the grass on the slope up and down, not from
side to side.
• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes
more than 10°.
• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Look out for and do not move across furrows, holes
and bumps. There is a higher risk that the product
overturns on ground that is not flat. Long grass can
hide obstacles.
• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks. The
product can suddenly overturn if a wheel moves
across the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if
an edge gives way.
Safety instructions for operation with ROPS
WARNING:
The rollover protection
structure can be impaired by damage if the
mower is overturned or if alteration to the
ROPS occurs. If these conditions take place,
the total structure MUST be replaced.
• The ROPS is an integral and effective safety device.
Do not remove or alter the ROPS.
• Keep a folding ROPS in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt when operating the
product.
• Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when
absolutely necessary. Do not wear the seat belt
when folded down. There is no rollover protection
when a folding ROPS is in the down position.
• Replace a damaged ROPS. Do not repair or alter.
Personal protective equipment
WARNING: Read the warning
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
• Use approved personal protective equipment when
you use the product. Personal protective equipment
cannot fully prevent injury but it decreases the
degree of injury if an accident does occur. Let your
dealer help you select the right equipment.
• Always wear approved hearing protection. Long term
exposure to noise can result in permanent hearing
impairment.
• Always wear protective shoes or protective boots.
Steel toes are recommended. Do not use the
product barefoot.
