so that you will not have to stop or shift
while on the slope.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope.
If tires lose traction, disengage the
blades and proceed slowly straight
down the slope.
• If machine stops while going uphill,
disengage blades, shift into reverse
and back down slowly.
• Do notturn on slopes unless neces-
sary, and then, turn slowly and
gradually downhill, if possible.
