COMMERCIAL LEAF and LAWN VACUUM
Slopes and Uneven Terrain
•
NEVER OPERATE YOUR MACHINE ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 15 DEGREES. 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.
•
DO NOT USE THE DR LEAF AND LAWN VACUUM ON SLOPES GREATER THAN 15 DEGREES. DOING
SO COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE (
FIGURE 31).
•
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 31) AND AVOID GOING ACROSS SLOPES. THIS IS THE SAME
RECOMMENDATION FOR MOWING WITH YOUR LAWN TRACTOR ALONE.
