5.5 USING ON SLOPING GROUND
Only mow on slopes with gradients up to
the maximum already mentioned (max
10° - 17%). Lawns on a slope have to be
mowed moving up and down and never
across them, taking great care when
changing direction that the highest
wheels do not hit obstacles (such as
stones, branches, roots, etc.) that may
cause the machine to slide sideways, tip
over or otherwise cause loss of control.
REDUCE SPEED BEFORE ANY CHANGE OF DIRECTION

EN 33 HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
Control of the machine may be lost, particularly on slippery surfaces.
For mechanical drive models:
Never ride the machine on slopes in neutral gear or
with the clutch out! Always engage a low gear before leaving the
