WARNING!
DO NOT operate on hills exceeding 25%
grade to prevent machine from rolling

than across hills. You will achieve even
cutting depth, and enhance stability.
• Avoid hill side turns. Back up hills in reverse
gear, then cut, going down.
• Push the blade engagement lever down to
raise the blade.
• Select the desired gear (low gear or reverse).
• Pull the throttle while maintaining a firm grip
on the handlebar.
• Load into truck or trailer by driving up ramps
in low gear. DO NOT LIFT! This machine is
not intended to be lifted by hand.
