On slopes
When mowing on an uneven surface, always reduce the ground
speed, grip the weed mower’s handles firmly and watch your step.
On an ascending slope, it may happen that the weed mower does
not go back, due to locking of wheels, even if the drive clutch lever
is released. In this case, unlock the wheels by slightly pressing the
weed mower forward. If you are not careful doing this, the weed
mower may move abruptly causing you danger.
Always reduce speed on a slope.
Do not use the weed mower on a slope of more than 20° (36%).
Be very careful when changing the direction of the weed mower on
a slope.
When mowing on a slope, cut across the slope (at equally spaced
intervals) rather than up and down it.
