Operating Near Hazards

GXAL41966—UN—04MAR13

Example side view of slope and hazards, showing areas (A), (B), and (C).

• Do not mow or operate machine in areas adjacent to hazards that may

cause the machine to roll over. The machine could suddenly lose

traction, slide, and/or roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or if the

edge breaks away.

• Hazards (A) include but are not limited to:

- Drop-offs, ditches, embankments, or bodies of water.

- Areas of unsafe slope, soft ground, edges along bodies of water, or

area with holes, ruts, bumps, or other hidden objects.

• Maintain a buffer area (B) at least as wide as the machine between

hazards (A) and the mowing area (C). Do not mow or operate the

machine in the hazard area or buffer area.

• Only mow or operate the machine in the mowing area (C). Do not

exceed the recommended slope operating angle. Refer to the

"Operate Safely on Slopes" section.

• Use a walk-behind mower or string trimmer in and around areas (A)

and (B).

Keep Riders Off

MXAL41930—UN—18FEB13

• Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off.

• Riders on the machine or attachment may be struck by foreign objects

or thrown off the machine causing serious injury.

• Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the machine being

operated in an unsafe manner.

Towing Loads Safely

• Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load.

Travel slowly and allow extra time and distance to stop.

• Total towed weight must not exceed combined weight of pulling

machine, ballast and operator. Use counterweights or wheel weights

as described in the attachment or pulling machine operator’s manual.
