SLOPE OPERATION

WARNING! Never operate on slopes greater than

17.6 percent (10°), which is a rise of

3-1/2 feet (106 cm) vertically in 20 feet

(607 cm) horizontally.

When operating on slopes use additional wheel weights or counterweights. See your dealer to determine which weights are available and appropriate for your unit.

Select slow ground speed before driving onto slope. Travel UP and

DOWN the slope, never across the face, use caution when changing directions and DO NOT START OR

STOP ON SLOPE.

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tipover accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not operate on it.

Do

• See your authorized dealer for recommendations counterweights to improve stability.

• Travel up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as large rocks, tree limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could overturn the unit. Snow can hide obstacles.

• Use slow speed. Tires may lose traction on slopes.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual.

• Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

SAFETY

Do Not

• Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction, disengage the broom and proceed slowly straight down the slope.

• Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

• Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The unit could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.

• Do not operate Turbo Broom on roof tops.
