Introduction

Slope-Pro®Operator’s Manual

Safety Alert Symbol

This symbol appears at various points in the manual together with a

signal word and warning text. It means –be alert! Your safety is involved.

This symbol is used throughout the manual to call attention to areas in

which carelessness or failure to follow specific procedures may result in

personal injury and/or component damage or malfunction.

Signal Words

DANGER! –On a red background - Identifies the most serious hazards

where failure to follow listed procedures will result in a high probability of

death or serious injury.

WARNING! –On an orange background - Denotes a hazard exists that

could result in serious injury or death if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION! –On a yellow background - Is used in areas where failure to

follow listed procedures may cause personal injury, component damage

or subsequent malfunction.

Safety Rules

Our policy is to produce products that are safe and reliable. However,

even when using well-engineered equipment, there is always an element

of risk. To minimize the risks and promote safety at all times, this section

of the Operator’s Manual details a number of safety rules that must

always be followed and obeyed.

Further safety rules and warning texts are given within the respective

sections of this manual.

IMPORTANT! When it comes to safety, nothing will ever

replace a careful operator.

It is imperative that the operator reads and understands all the safety

information in this manual before proceeding. Failure to follow the

instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death.

Proper care is your responsibility.

The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that

might involve a hazard. The hazard alerts in this publication and on the

product, are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method,

or operating technique not specifically recommended by the

manufacturer is used, it is your responsibility to ensure that it is safe for

you and others. You should also ensure the machine will not be

damaged or made unsafe by the operation, maintenance, or repair

procedures you choose. Modifications or adaptations to the machine are

not allowed.

▪It is the obligation of the operator to make sure that all guards and

shields are in place on the machine. Safety decals must be in

place and be readable –accidents may otherwise occur. Contact

your dealer or Progressive Turf Equipment Inc. for replacement

manuals or decals.

▪Should there be any information or instructions in this manual that

are not in compliance with local laws or regulations in force in the

country or region where this equipment is operated, the local laws

and regulations must take precedence.

Safety Rules

Slope-Pro®Operator’s Manual

Safety Precautions

The operator of this machine must be at least 18 years of age

and have sufficient knowledge and instructions before he / she

uses the machine. Do not allow unauthorized persons or

children to operate the machine.

Untrained operators may cause severe injuries or even

fatalities. Therefore, it is important that you read and follow the

instructions of this Operator’s Manual.

Do not ride or allow riders on the machine. Operate the

machine remotely using the controller provided from a safe

distance.

▪Never use a machine that does not have an Operator’s Manual

available. Learn and understand the safety signs and symbols on

the machine and the operator instructions before you begin to use

the machine.

▪Wear protective clothing (PPE) –know and use the protective

equipment that is to be worn when operating or servicing the

machine. Hard hats, protective glasses and face shields, protective

shoes, gloves, reflector type vests, and ear protection are types of

equipment that may be required. Prolonged exposure to loud noise

can cause hearing damage.

▪Operate the machine only when physically capable and not under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

▪Keep all bystanders well away from the machine when it is

operating. Always maintain a safe operating distance from

personnel or other equipment.

▪Carefully walk the entire area to be mowed beforehand. Look for

debris, rocks, tree limbs that could damage or be thrown by the

mower blades. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

▪Use extra caution when approaching corners, shrubs, trees, or

other objects that could obscure vision. Reposition yourself to

avoid these conditions. Maintain visibility to the work zone.

▪Disengage the blades (PTO) when crossing gravel areas or

roadways.

▪Always STOP the engine when leaving the machine unattended,

turn off the remote control and remove the ignition key and keep

the remote control and ignition key in a secure place so that the

machine cannot be operated by unauthorized users. See page 28.
