Tipping (Rollovers)
NEVER! operate the roller on side slopes (Figure 3). The
possibility exist that the roller could tip over (roll over), thus
causing bodily harm even death and serious damage to the
equipment.
Figure 3. Tipping (Rollover)
To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the roller
must NOT be started. NEVER start a roller after a rollover.

In the event the roller does tip over, if at all possible, try to shut-

When the roller has been tipped over, oil from the engine
crankcase can flow into the combustion chamber, which can
severely damage the engine the next time it is started.
IMMEDIATELY after a unit has tipped over upright the unit as
soon as possible to prevent oil from leaking into the combustion
chamber.
