SAFETY RULES

• Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the
blades and proceed slowly straight
down the slope.

• If machine stops while going uphill,

disengage blades, shift into reverse

and back down slowly.

• Do not turn on slopes unless neces­

sary, and then, turn slowly and gradu­
ally downhill, if possible.
