Danger: Machine Rollover.
Operating on steep slopes can
cause sliding and loss of steering,
control and rollover. Do not use
this machine on slopes greater than 15°. This limit

degree “limit of stability” is equal to 50% of the angle
at which machine lift-off occurred in static tests. Actual
dynamic stability may vary depending on operating
conditions.
