Slopes and Uneven Terrain
•
NEVER OPERATE YOUR MACHINE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 15 DEGREES ( FIGURE 22). DOING SO
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE.
•
WHEN OPERATING THE DR LEAF AND LAWN VACUUM OVER UNEVEN TERRAIN AND SLOPES, USE
EXTREME CAUTION TO NOT TIP OVER THE MACHINE. MOVE SLOWLY, ESPECIALLY WITH A FULL
LOAD, IF THE GROUND HAS RUTS, BUMPS, AND OTHER DEPRESSIONS.
•
ON A SLOPE, A HEAVY LOAD WILL TEND TO SHIFT. WHEN USING YOUR DR LEAF AND LAWN
VACUUM, KEEP IN MIND THAT LOADS TEND TO SHIFT TO THE DOWNHILL SIDE OF THE COLLECTOR
BOX. THE HIGHER AND HEAVIER THE LOAD, THE GREATER THE CHANCE YOU MAY TIP OVER THE
MACHINE.
•
TRAVEL UP AND DOWN SLOPES ( FIGURE 22) AND AVOID GOING ACROSS SLOPES. THIS IS THE SAME
RECOMMENDATION FOR MOWING WITH YOUR LAWN TRACTOR ALONE.
