A SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The GROUNDS MASTER 455-D was tested and certified by TOR for compliance with the specifications of the American National Standards Institute. Although hazard control and accident prevention partially are dependent upon the design and configuration of the machine, these factors are also dependent upon the awareness; concern, and proper draining of the personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine.
A SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 15. Traverse slopes carefully. Do not start or stop suddenly when traveling uphill or downhill. Never shift axle when moving. Machine must be on a fiat surface and / or brakes must be engaged to prevent freewheeling. 16, Operator must be skilled and trained in how to drive on hillsides. Failure to use caution on slopes or hills may cause loss of control and vehicle to tip or roll possibly resulting in personal injury or death. 17.
