7.3 USING ON SLOPES
Comply with the limits indicated in the
"Technical Data" Tables as in "fig. 12"
regardless of the mowing direction.
Remember there is no such thing as a "safe"
slope. Driving on grass slopes requires
particular care. To prevent overturning
or loss of control over the machine:
• Never mow across the face of the slope.
Lawns on slopes must be mowed by moving
up and down and never across them in
forward gear. When changing direction,
take great care that the wheels facing the
slope do not hit any obstacles (such as
stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may
cause the machine to slide sideways,
tip over or make you lose control.
Action

Reverse is activated without
holding down the reverse

Test drive.
• Do not stop or start suddenly
• Shift to drive gear very gently paying
• Reduce speed:
• Never switch to reverse gear to decrease
